Wimbledon, England — Carlos Alcaraz beat Taylor Fritz 6-4, 5-7, 6-3, 7-6 (6) on Friday to move on to his sixth overall Wimbledon Championship and one of his sixth Grand Slam titles at the age of 22.
No. 2 seed Alcaraz will be winning streak for 24 consecutive games on the final Sunday. They were playing late on Friday.
“I’m not thinking about winning streaks. I’m not thinking about the outcome at all. I’m thinking about my dreams,” Alcaraz said. “Now, I honestly don’t want to think about Sunday. I just want to enjoy this moment.
Alcaraz beat Jjokovic in the 2023 and 2024 title matches at All Ingland Club, 5-0 in the major finals. This includes a five-set comeback victory over the sinners at the French Open a month ago.
The fifth seed Fritz, runner-up for last year’s US Open Criminals, was about to become the first American man in the Wimbledon final since Andy Roddick lost to Roger Federer in 2009.
Fritz had two chances to force a fifth set against Alcaraz, leading 6-4 on the tiebreaker. However, Alcaraz finished his victory by gathering the next four points, shook his heels and spread his arms wide open.
It wasn’t the only thing that made things interesting. He accumulated more total points than Alcaraz throughout the first two sets, finishing the afternoon with more winners (44-38) and 13 total 19 aces.
When Alkaraz double faulted, he missed the forehand and dropped the second and they were each on the set.
However, with Wimbledon five-time champions Bjorn Borg and celebrities like Anna Wintour and Leonardo Dicaprio watching, Alcaraz quickly recovered from its lapse, marking some of his best shots with a scream of “Vamos!” Or a rising index finger. He never faced a breakpoint for the rest of the day, but stole two Fritz service games in the third set.
Even when Fritz got the chance to get back to things, Alcaraz was ready. In the first game of the fourth set, Alcaraz offered Fritz a bit of an opening, missing two forehands from the Love-30. However, Alcaraz closed that door just as quickly as four points in a row, including a 134 mph ace and a 135 mph service winner.
Amidst the tension of the tiebreaker, Fritz had subtly lifted the butterfly out of the grass to cause harm. Soon he grabbed five straight points and reached the cliff, going to the fifth set. However, Alcaraz never let Fritz get close and forced four errors.

The temperature exceeded 85 degrees Fahrenheit (30 degrees Celsius), and there were no clouds interrupting the blue sky to provide protection from the sun. For the second day in a row, the audience had a problem with the heat. There were two short delays in one set set game, but we had to support the fans.
Champagne cork pops could be heard in the stands just before the start, and the Spaniards jumped out of the gate and scored 10 of their first 12 points. The game gave us a glimpse into why Alcaraz is already amazing. In fact, the first point was an example. He returned a serve of 135 mph and concluded the 10-stroke exchange with a delicate drop shot.
There will be a forehand winner soon, and there was a good return that elicited net responses by Fritz. The return of the 128 mph serve, which discovered the choke, created a netcode winner for the break.
Plus, it was about coming to an amazing set for Alcaraz. He was even able to abolish Fritz, delivering 20 out of six aces and 24 service points while reaching 137 mph. Alcaraz scored points on all three attempts of his serve and borrey, including a perfect stop volley. Finally, Alcaraz was 41-31 online.
To be clear, Fritz played very well on his own, reminiscing of quality with a neon orange racket frame that was enough to overcome most of the grass’s enemies.
Alkaraz is not just an enemy, as everyone is paying attention.
