Carlos Alcaraz loves playing on grass and is trying to win a third Wimbledon title in a row
LONDON (AP) — Carlos Alcaraz's first match on a grass court came just six years ago. He's obviously a quick study. When Wimbledon gets started Monday, the 22-year-old from Spain will play in the first Centre Court match of this fortnight, an honor reserved for the previous year's men's champion . The contest against Fabio Fognini will open Alcaraz's a bid for a third consecutive championship at the place. That's something only four men have achieved in the Open era, which began in 1968: Bjorn Borg, Pete Sampras, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic . Not bad company. Alcaraz already is 5-0 in Grand Slam finals, which includes going 2-0 at the French Open — which he won three weeks ago via a comeback from two sets down against No. 1 Jannik Sinner in the final — and 1-0 at the U.S. Open. Last year, the No. 2-ranked Alcaraz became the youngest man to win a major trophy on each surface: grass, clay and hard courts. But he's got a fondness for the green stuff. 'The most beautiful tennis that we can watch is on grass. The style that the people bring to the court when they play on grass. ... The sound of the ball,' said Alcaraz, who will go into Monday on a career-best 18-match winning streak, including a title at the Queen's Club tournament last weekend. 'The movement is really tough, but when you get it, it's kind of (as though) you're flying.' He loves that it allows him to show off the variety in his game and all of the skills he possesses. Few players smile as much as Alcaraz does while in the thick of things, no matter what challenges might be presented by the foe across the net or the tension of the moment. He is as creative as it gets with a racket in hand, sometimes to his own detriment, and admits enjoying seeing replays on arena video screens after some of his best deliveries (that technology isn't used at the All England Club, but perhaps it should be). 'I really want to hit slices, drop shots, going to the net all the time, playing aggressively,' said Alcaraz, who said he lost to two-time Wimbledon champion Andy Murray during a round of golf early in the week. 'I think on grass it's the style that you have to play, so that's what I like the most.' It's instructive to hear what Djokovic had to say about Alcaraz after a straight-set loss in last year's final at the All England Club. 'He just was better than me in every aspect of the game,' Djokovic said. 'In movement, in the way he was just striking the ball beautifully, serving great. Everything.' Those words carry weight. Djokovic has won seven of his men's-record 24 Grand Slam trophies at Wimbledon but was the runner-up to Alcaraz in 2023 and 2024. When it comes to the idea of joining an elite group by completing a three-peat in two weeks' time, Alcaraz insisted that isn't the sort of thing he really cares about or spends time considering. He wants the title, yes. But where it would place him in history? Leave that to others. 'I really want to lift the trophy,' Alcaraz said. 'But right now, I'm not thinking about who I could join if I win three Wimbledons in a row.' ___ Howard Fendrich has been the AP's tennis writer since 2002. Find his stories here: . More AP tennis:

WNBA Fans Pick Side In Caitlin Clark, Paige Bueckers Debate
WNBA Fans Pick Side In Caitlin Clark, Paige Bueckers Debate originally appeared on The Spun. Caitlin Clark may not have taken the floor in last night's game between the Dallas Wings and Indiana Fever but that didn't stop basketball fans from taking a side in the debate between her and Paige Bueckers. Advertisement Both highly-touted No. 1 picks coming out of college, Bueckers scored 27 points in her team's 94-86 defeat with six assists, two blocks and two steals. And it had people wondering whether or not the ex-UConn star is actually better than the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year. "Paige Bueckers is an all-round better basketball player than Caitlin Clark but some of you aren't ready for that conversation 🤫" a user said. "Paige Bueckers is a better overall basketball player than Caitlin Clark and will be a better WNBA player," another predicted. "Paige Bueckers might be better than Caitlin Clark bro lol.." a fan laughed. "she can score in so many different ways it's crazy." Advertisement "Paige Bueckers even beat Caitlin Clark to 200+ points and 50+ assists 👀" DraftKings Sportsbook shared. "Paige Bueckers is so much better than Caitlin Clark. Just wait for her to get better teammates!!" another person exclaimed. "Folks forget Paige Bueckers was Caitlin Clark before Caitlin Clark before injuries." "they want Caitlin Clark & Paige Bueckers to be opps so bad," another user posted. "Just enjoy watching both of them hoop and STFU sometimes." Apr 14, 2025; New York, New York, USA; Paige Bueckers is interviewed by ESPN after being selected with the number one overall pick to the Dallas Wings in the 2025 WNBA Draft at The Shed at Hudson Yards. Mandatory Credit: Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Carchietta-Imagn Images. It's hard to argue with Paige's talent as a former three-time All-American and national champion. But Caitlin's skillset is also enormous and she has the type of showmanship and following that can single-handedly change economies. Advertisement Like many sports arguments it all comes down to taste; however it's almost impossible to imagine that these two won't be among the W's best when we look back on this argument 5-10 years from now.
