Wimbledon 2025: Carlos Alcaraz withstands early onslaught from Andrey Rublev to win in 4 sets
Andrey Rublev started aggressively in his first set against Carlos Alcaraz, which forced the defending Wimbledon champion out of rhythm and making him catch up. (Photo by KIRILL KUDRYAVTSEV/AFP via Getty Images) No. 2 men's seed Carlos Alcaraz withstood an early scare from No. 14 Andrey Rublev to continue his pursuit of a third consecutive Wimbledon title, winning in four sets on Sunday 7-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4. Rublev challened Alcaraz from the start, running out to a 4-1 lead in the first set as the defending Wimbledon champion struggled to get into a rhythm. He had difficulty winning his serve while also committing several unforced errors. Advertisement Alcaraz finally held serve to close within 4-2 and showed some emotion as he tried to fire himself up. Rublev then made an error at the net on an Alcaraz drop shot, giving him an opening to gain two points in the set. He went on to win 11 of the next 12 points. Rublev appeared as if he might be running low on energy after a frenetic start and that allowed Alcaraz to get back into the set. He took a hard fall and lost his racket while reaching to return a serve, but wasn't injured. That almost seemed to be an answer to Rublev's early aggressiveness, doing everything he could to get back into the match and force a tiebreaker. Carlos Alcaraz slipped and fell to the grass during the first set of his fourth-round match at Wimbledon with Andrey Rublev on July 06, 2025 in London, England. (Photo by) (Clive Brunskill via Getty Images) Despite his own fall in the same corner after the two switched sides, Rublev was undeterred and went ahead 3-2 in the tiebreaker. Alcaraz showed his range by going deep in the corner to return two shots, but hit his next one into the net to fall behind 6-5. Advertisement And at that point, the crowd came to life, sensing that Rublev was about to win the first set. That feeling was affirmed when Alcaraz again went deep behind the baseline for a return, but hit it into the net to lose the tiebreaker, 7-5. Rublev had won four of his six tiebreaking sets during this Wimbledon tournament. Yet anyone who thought Alcaraz might be shaken by losing that first set was quickly corrected. He took control with his serve in the second set and a forehand return seemed to surprise Rublev, perhaps affecting his early aggressiveness. After Rublev held serve to tie the set at 2-2, Alcaraz mixed in different tactics with his rocket serves and forehands, slicing balls down the line and feathering drop shots at the net. That had Rublev moving all the court and curbed what was a successful aggressive approach. Advertisement Tied at 3-3, Rublev double-faulted to allow Alcaraz to break serve. The Russian couldn't recover from there, frustrated that he couldn't win his serve as Alcaraz held to get the final two points and win the second set. The two began the third set going back and forth, but Alcaraz arguably won the point of the match by sliding on the grass toward the corner to return a cross-court shot that darted just out of Rublev's reach for a 4-3 lead. The crowd erupted at the amazing play from the two-time Wimbledon champion and Alcaraz held his finger to his ear, asking for more. From there, Rublev played like he knew the set was lost and ready to start fresh. Advertisement Perhaps the difference in the match was that Rublev couldn't raise his play to another level when he had Alcaraz playing catch-up. Contrarily, Alcaraz seemed to get better as the match wore on, reaching to find an extra boost when he needed it. Rublev kept attempting to win his serve, aiming toward the lines to get Alcaraz chasing. But Alcaraz either got to the shots that he wasn't earlier in the match or Rublev wasn't quite as precise as when he started. The fourth set began with Alcaraz getting two aces, but Rublev didn't move further back to try and adjust to that serve. That may have been another difference as Alcaraz changed his approach and mixed up his shots as the match progressed. Those adjustments helped him recover from Rublev's early onslaught. Advertisement Rublev came back to save three break points to stay alive. But Alcaraz broke his serve to go up 3-2. If there was one adjustment Rublev appeared to make, it was with his mental and emotional approach. During breaks in play, he looked like he was trying to calm down and not lose his composure as Alcaraz took control. Under those circumstances, Rublev wasn't just battling his opponent but himself as well. Three consecutive errors demonstrated that Rublev lost that battle, despite the crowd trying to give him a lift. After eventually losing the fourth set, he quickly left the court like someone who knew that he let an opportunity for a career-making win get away. Alcaraz praised Rublev's power in his on-court interview after the match. But he credited his mental approach, saying "it was just about belief" and not getting down after losing that first set. "Andrey is one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful player that we have on tour," Alcaraz said. "Aggressive with that forehand, it's difficult to face him. He's pushing you to a limit, running side to side. But I was happy with the way I moved. I think I played intelligently, smart today." Alcaraz will face Cameron Norrie in the Wimbledon quarterfinals. The Brit could have the crowd on his side, especially after winning a thrilling five-game set over Chile's Nicolas Jarry 6-3, 7-6, 6-7, 6-7, 6-3.

I was well within the rules: Piastri fumes over penalty
It was a study in contrasts. Lando Norris exulting in his first victory at his home British Grand Prix, Oscar Piastri assessing the damage of a 10-second penalty that robbed him of a chance of glory. The McLaren pair are jostling for the world title in a two-horse race. Australia's Piastri has an eight-point lead but the force is with Norris, who has won the last two races, in Austria and here at Silverstone in front of a euphoric 168,000 crowd. The turning point was the 10-second sanction imposed by the stewards after Piastri decelerated from 135mph to just 32mph on the Hangar Straight ahead of a safety car restart. Max Verstappen was forced to take evasive action Our Osc 🏆#McLaren | #GoogleChrome | #BritishGP 🇬🇧 — McLaren (@McLarenF1) July 6, 2025 The stewards ruled Piastri guilty of "erratic driving" and that Verstappen had to take "evasive action to avoid a collision". But Piastri insisted that his move had been "well within the rules" and that he had already performed the manoeuvre once in the race. "I don't really get it. I hit the brakes, and at the same time as I did, the lights went out on the safety car. I didn't accelerate because I can control the pace from there," he said. "I didn't do anything differently to my first restart. I didn't go slower. I don't think Max had to evade me. So I am a bit confused to say the least. I know I deserved a lot more than I did today and when you don't get the result you deserve, it hurts. "Apparently you can't brake behind the safety car anymore. I had done it for five laps before but I'm not going to say more, I'm going to get myself in trouble. I still like Silverstone even if I don't like it today." Piastri even asked over the radio for McLaren to order him and Norris to swap places to cancel the effect of the penalty. The team declined to do so. He said: "I knew what the answer was going to be before I asked. But I just wanted a small glimmer of hope that I could get it back but I knew it wasn't going to happen. "Lando didn't do anything wrong so I don't think it would have been fair to swap, but I thought I should ask. It doesn't change much for the championship. I felt I did a good job and I will use the frustration to make sure I win some more races." It was joy unconfined for Norris, who said: "This victory is everything I dreamed of. Being on top at your home race is very, very special. "From a British perspective, I join a long list of pretty incredible winners - most of them are Lewis (Hamilton has won the British Grand Prix a record nine times) - so to join him and continue the reign of the British at Silverstone is amazing. "Looking up at the fans and seeing them on their feet, your mind just goes pretty blank. The main thing is just don't f*** it up. I was just trying to enjoy the moment. "But these are moments that none of you guys get to witness. This is only something that I, and very few Brits have achieved. It is a selfish moment, in a way, but so special and incredible because it is such a rare thing to feel and witness." With agencies

Max Verstappen Expresses Frustration at Red Bull Amid Mercedes Rumors
Max Verstappen Expresses Frustration at Red Bull Amid Mercedes Rumors originally appeared on Athlon Sports. One of the biggest stories swirling around the paddock ahead of the British Grand Prix this weekend wasn't even about who would take the win. It was all about what's happening off the track. Advertisement Rumors are picking up steam that Max Verstappen could be eyeing a shocking move to Mercedes, even though both he and Red Bull have tried to shut it down. But you know how Formula 1 gossip goes. Where there's smoke, there's usually fire. And Verstappen didn't exactly calm things down, either. His pointed comments during the race about the team's car development have only added fuel to the fire. In the middle of a wild race filled with safety cars, crashes and spin-outs, Verstappen didn't hold back on the team radio. He jumped on the mic to share exactly what he thought about the RB21 and let's just say he wasn't sugarcoating anything. Verstappen said, 'This car is just undriveable. [Expletive]." The British Grand Prix weekend was a real roller coaster for Verstappen and Red Bull. Friday's free practice was rough. Clips were all over the place of Verstappen wrestling with the RB21 just to keep it on the track through corners, and plenty of pundits pointed out how tricky the car looked to drive. Advertisement But in true Verstappen fashion, he pulled something special out of the bag and grabbed an unexpected pole on Saturday, even with Lando Norris, Oscar Piastri and Lewis Hamilton all looking strong. Come race day, though, things fell apart. Verstappen got jumped by Piastri a few laps into the race, lost spots to Norris and even spun, which you hardly ever see from him. He ended up finishing fifth after starting first, which is a tough pill to swallow. Max Verstappen during FP3 at Canadian Kirouac-Imagn Images He's now 69 points behind Piastri in the standings, and with Red Bull struggling to catch up to McLaren's pace, you have to wonder could this be the moment that pushes Verstappen to seriously look elsewhere? Guess we'll find out soon enough.
