When does Carlos Alcaraz play? How to watch reigning champ at Wimbledon
Alcaraz won his first major at the 2022 US Open, which kickstarted an impressive run during which he has won five of the ATP Tour's 11 Grand Slam events. That includes each of the last two Wimbledon titles, which came over 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic.
Alcaraz entered Wimbledon in good form, having won the 2025 French Open over World No. 1 Jannik Sinner. Despite that victory and his back-to-back Wimbledon wins, the Spanish star remained the tournament's No. 2 seed behind Sinner. Still, he is expected to once again be among the top contenders for the major title at the All England Club.
Alcaraz faced a test in the first round against veteran and former top-10 talent Fabio Fognini before winning in five sets. His second-round matchup was a bit easier, as he swept qualifier Oliver Tarvet with relative ease.
Alcaraz will need to perform more like his second-round matchup as the competition ratchets up to become the 10th man to win at least three consecutive Wimbledon titles.
Below is what to know about when Alcaraz will play next, how to watch him on the court and his results from the weeks-long event.
When does Carlos Alcaraz play next?
Alcaraz's next match at Wimbledon is scheduled for Friday, July 4. The tournament's No. 2 seed will face Struff, who is currently ranked 125th in the ATP Tour Rankings.
Should Alcaraz beat Struff, the Spaniard would advance to Round 4 of the tournament and play Sunday. He would face the winner of the matchup between Andrey Rublev (14th in the world rankings) and Adrian Mannarino (123rd).

Sinner powers into Wimbledon last 16 as Djokovic eyes century
Wimbledon top seed Jannik Sinner crushed Pedro Martinez to reach the last 16 without losing a set on Saturday while title rival Novak Djokovic targets his 100th victory at the tournament. Sinner took just one hour and 55 minutes to demolish 52nd-ranked Martinez 6-1, 6-3, 6-1 in a Centre Court masterclass, though the Spaniard was struggling with a shoulder issue. Advertisement The 23-year-old will face Bulgarian 19th seed Grigor Dimitrov or Austria's Sebastian Ofner in the fourth round at the All England Club. Sinner has lost just 17 games across his first three matches at this year's tournament, in contrast to defending champion Carlos Alcaraz, who has shown patchy form on route to the last 16. The Italian returned from a doping ban in May, losing the Italian Open final to Alcaraz and squandering three championship points against the Spaniard in the French Open final last month. His best performance at Wimbledon was a run to the semi-finals in 2023 and he reached the quarter-finals last year. Advertisement "Every time you reach the second week of a Grand Slam it's a very special occasion," said Sinner, who acknowledged Martinez's discomfort with his shoulder. "Even more special here in Wimbledon, so I'm very happy to be in the second week." Later on Centre Court, Djokovic will resume his bid for a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam crown. The seven-time champion, locked with the long-retired Margaret Court on 24 majors, is aiming to reach the fourth round for the 17th time in his 20th appearance at Wimbledon. A third-round clash against Serbian Davis Cup teammate Miomir Kecmanovic will hold few fears for the sixth seed, who has not lost against his 49th-ranked compatriot in three previous meetings. Advertisement If Djokovic beats Kecmanovic he will reach a century of victories at the All England Club, a feat only surpassed by eight-time champion Roger Federer, who won 105 times on the lawns of southwest London, and Martina Navratilova, who chalked up 120 victories. "If I play like this, I feel like I have a very good chance against anybody, really, on the Centre Court of Wimbledon, a place where I maybe feel the most comfortable on any court," Djokovic said after beating Britain's Dan Evans in the second round. Djokovic's first Wimbledon win came against Argentine Juan Monaco 20 years ago, when Kecmanovic was aged just five. - Swiatek's title chance - Advertisement Former champion Elena Rybakina became the latest star to suffer a shock exit, losing to Denmark's Clara Tauson 7-6 (8/6), 6-3. Rybakina, the Kazakh 11th seed, won her maiden Grand Slam title at Wimbledon in 2022 and reached the semi-finals last year. But the 26-year-old's hopes of another strong run were ended by 23rd-seeded Tauson in a third-round tie on Court Two. Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva thrashed American world number 55 Hailey Baptiste 6-1, 6-3 in just 78 minutes on Court One. The 18-year-old, seeded seventh, is one of the few leading players left in the women's draw. World number one Aryna Sabalenka is the only player remaining from among the top six seeds. Advertisement Iga Swiatek has quietly gone about her business at this year's Wimbledon but will have watched the mass exodus of her top rivals with interest. The five-time Grand Slam champion is seeded eighth at the All England club after slipping down the rankings, though she is now back in the world's top four after reaching the Bad Homburg final last week. The Pole, who faces American Danielle Collins in the third round, has never been beyond the quarter-finals at the All England Club. Swiatek, who has won four titles on the French Open clay, was beaten by former Australian Open finalist Collins at the Italian Open in May. Defending women's champion Barbora Krejcikova is also in action on Saturday against American 10th seed Emma Navarro. smg/jw

Wimbledon: Jannik Sinner has dropped a record-tying 17 games through three matches so far
Associated Press LONDON (AP) — As well as Jannik Sinner is playing at Wimbledon, he doesn't appear to need much in the way of help. Still, he got some Saturday when his opponent, Pedro Martinez, was dealing with a problematic shoulder and often put in first serves at so-so speeds. The No. 1-ranked Sinner has dropped a record-tying total of only 17 games so far, made his way to the fourth round for the seventh consecutive Grand Slam tournament — he's collected three such trophies in that span — and never was truly in trouble during a 6-1, 6-3, 6-1 victory over No. 52 Martinez. 'We all saw that he was struggling,' Sinner said, then noted about his own form: 'First week couldn't have gone better.' Sinner is the second man in the Open era, which began in 1968, to cede just 17 games through three completed matches at the All England Club. The other player to do that, Jan Kodes, ended up losing in the semifinals in 1972. For Sinner, there's been zero sign of any sort of inability to move past last month's French Open final, which he lost to Carlos Alcaraz in five sets despite taking the first two and holding three championship points. Against Martinez, Sinner — who returned in May from a three-month doping suspension — went up 5-0 after 20 minutes. During that stretch of 29 points, Martinez managed just one winner, while Sinner accumulated 10. That's when Martinez took a medical timeout, and a trainer massaged the back of his right shoulder. The Spaniard was delivering first serves as slow as 76 mph, compared with Sinner's high of 133 mph. That aspect of Martinez's game improved incrementally, but the only, ever-so-brief, moment of intrigue at Centre Court came in the second set, about 75 minutes in, with Sinner up a break and serving at 4-3. That's where Martinez managed to accrue his first four break points of the match. Sinner stayed as calm as can be — 'I don't think Sinner's changed expressions once in this match,' John McEnroe observed on BBC's telecast — and erased all four of those chances, held for 5-3, then broke to end the set. Soon enough, Sinner — twice an Australian Open champion, once a U.S. Open champion and a 2023 semifinalist at Wimbledon — was heading into a contest Monday against Grigor Dimitrov or Sebastian Ofner, whose match was delayed by rain in the second set. What else happened Saturday at Wimbledon? No. 11 Elena Rybakina, the 2022 champion, was ousted in the third round by No. 23 Clara Tauson by a 7-6 (6), 6-3 score, yet another exit from a high seed. No. 7 Mirra Andreeva, an 18-year-old Russian, moved into Week 2 with a 6-1, 6-3 victory over Hailey Baptiste of the United States. Andreeva will face defending champion Barbora Krejcikova or Emma Navarro next. Another fourth-round matchup was set up when No. 19 Liudmila Samsonova and Jessica Bouzas Maneiro advanced. Bouzas Maneiro, who defeated 2023 champion Marketa Vondrousova in last year's first round, was a 6-1, 2-6, 6-3 winner over Dayana Yastremska, who eliminated No. 2 Coco Gauff in this year's first round. No. 22 Flavio Cobolli earned his debut trip to a major's round of 16 by defeating No. 15 Jakub Mensik 6-2, 6-4, 6-2. Who is scheduled to play Sunday at the All England Club? No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, coming off a riveting win against Emma Raducanu, returns to Centre Court to face No. 24 Elise Mertens as the fourth round begins. Sunday's last scheduled match in the main stadium features two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz against No. 14 Andrey Rublev. Over at No. 1 Court, 2024 U.S. Open runner-up Taylor Fritz of the United States, the No. 5 seed, begins play at 1 p.m. local time (8 a.m. ET) against unseeded Jordan Thompson of Australia. ___ More AP tennis:
