Watch: Carlos Alcaraz Delights Fan With Signed Cap After Wimbledon 3rd Round Win
The young tennis ace wore a big smile on his face, seeing a woman completely lose control as he received a special signature on a cap at the sidelines of Wimbledon.
A woman present in the Wimbledon stands to cheer for Carlos Alcaraz has gone viral for her hilarious reaction to the rising tennis ace giving away his autograph. As Alcaraz defeated Jan-Lennard Struff in the third-round singles encounter on Friday, July 4, he made time for his fans present at the edge of the stands and gave away signed shirts, caps and selfies.
A lady, who had asked for the defending champion's signature on a white cap, lost it completely as Alcaraz obliged and made her day. Later on, during a post-match show, the tennis star wore a big smile on his face while watching a funny clip of the woman in utter shock and disbelief. Thrilled, the woman was nearly left on her haunches after she raised her hands to the large crowd and proudly shared the Alcaraz-signed cap.

When asked to react to the woman's gleeful expressions and pure emotions for her favourite tennis star, Alcaraz said: 'Yeah I saw, I remember (the lady). I couldn't laugh (initially) because I had to just stay a little serious but I was happy." Alcaraz also said the woman's reaction made his Wimbledon event, saying he feels delighted to give his fans something to cheer about. 'It makes my day, honestly, feels amazing," he added.
Did Carlos Alcaraz Win At Wimbledon?
The five-time Grand Slam winner started on a terrific note by dominating the first set. Alcaraz also showed his great adaptability by bouncing back from the difficult second set and continuing the momentum from there. Alcaraz's victory meant that Jan-Lennard's wait for a Wimbledon title continued, having never progressed past the third round.
Speaking about his win later on, Alcaraz said: 'I knew it was going to be difficult. His game is suited pretty well to the grass — big serve — so I tried to put it to the net as much as I could. I'm just proud about getting the win in four sets. It was stressful! To be honest, I was suffering in every service game that I did today. It was stressful; it was about surviving."
The 22-year-old Spaniard now takes on 14th seed Andrey Rublev in the fourth-round Wimbledon clash with a place in the quarterfinals up for grabs on Sunday, July 6.

Carlos Alcaraz's Wimbledon win streak reaches 18. Sabalenka gets to another Slam quarterfinal
LONDON — Carlos Alcaraz's latest up-and-down Wimbledon performance began with a dropped set. Later Sunday, he was in danger of getting broken to fall further behind in the third. And then, as he so often does, Alcaraz seized the moment, produced some magic and moved closer to a third consecutive title at the All England Club. Carlos Alcaraz's Wimbledon win streak reaches 18. Sabalenka gets to another Slam quarterfinal Alcaraz stretched his winning streak in the grass-court Grand Slam tournament to 18 matches — and his current unbeaten run across all events to 22 — by coming back to beat No. 14 seed Andrey Rublev 6-7 , 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 at Centre Court to return to the quarterfinals. In this fortnight's first matchup between two men ranked in the top 20, No. 2 Alcaraz brought out his best while down 3-2 in the third set. First, he needed to fend off a break chance for Rublev, doing so with a forehand passing winner. After eventually holding to 3-all, Alcaraz earned his own break opportunity and didn't let Rublev escape. On an eight-stroke exchange, Alcaraz sprinted from one corner of the court to the other and, with a stomp of his right foot and a bit of a slide, he flicked a cross-court forehand winner. Oh, did he relish that one. Alcaraz spread his arms wide, pointed to his right ear and basked in the crowd's loud adulation, the noise bouncing off the underside of the stadium's closed roof. Rublev sat in his sideline chair, looked up at his guest box and made a sarcastic 'OK' hand signal. Just 10 minutes later, that set belong to Alcaraz, who will face 2022 semifinalist Cam Norrie — the last British player in singles — on Tuesday for a berth in the final four. 'I always said that it's just about belief in yourself. It doesn't matter that you are one-set-to-love down,' Alcaraz said. 'Tennis is a sport that can change in just one point. One point can change the match completely, turn around everything.' The 61st-ranked Norrie, who played college tennis at TCU in Fort Worth, Texas, advanced with a 6-3, 7-6 , 6-7 , 6-7 , 6-3 win over qualifier Nicolas Jarry, who hit 46 aces. Norrie had a chance to close things out much earlier than he did but failed to convert a match point while ahead 6-5 in the third-set tiebreaker. The other men's quarterfinal Tuesday will be No. 5 Taylor Fritz vs. No. 17 Karen Khachanov. Fritz, last year's U.S. Open runner-up, had a short day because his opponent, Jordan Thompson, quit after about 40 minutes with back and leg injuries that he'd been dealing with throughout the tournament. Alcaraz is just 22 and already owns five Grand Slam trophies, the latest arriving in June at the French Open. He hasn't lost a match anywhere since April 20 against Holger Rune in the final at Barcelona. There have been lapses, of course, including when Alcaraz fell behind by two sets against No. 1 Jannik Sinner in the final at Roland-Garros. Or when the Spaniard lost four points in a row after going up 5-3 in the opening tiebreaker against Rublev. He hasn't been as close-to-perfect as others over the past week: Sinner, No. 10 Ben Shelton and No. 22 Flavio Cobolli haven't dropped a set heading into their fourth-round contests. So, sure, Alcaraz has ceded five sets already, but all that matters is that he hasn't lost a match. No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka reached the quarterfinals at her 11th consecutive Grand Slam tournament, defeating No. 24 Elise Mertens 6-4, 7-6 , and will play unseeded Laura Siegemund, the 37-year-old German who followed up her elimination of Australian Open champ Madison Keys by beating lucky loser Solana Sierra 6-3, 6-2. Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova overcame a missed call late in the first set — when the electronic system accidentally was off — and beat Sonay Kartal 7-6 , 6-4 to return to the grass-court major's quarterfinals for the first time in nine years. Pavlyuchenkova's opponent Tuesday will be Amanda Anisimova or Linda Noskova. Monday's fourth-rounders include Novak Djokovic against No. 11 Alex de Minaur at 1:30 p.m. local time . They were supposed to face each other in last year's quarterfinals at Wimbledon, but de Minaur was forced to withdraw with a hip injury. That'll be followed at Centre Court by Mirra Andreeva vs. Emma Navarro, and then Sinner vs. No. 19 Grigor Dimitrov.

Alcaraz survives Rublev test to stay on course for Wimbledon hat-trick
Carlos Alcaraz again tested the nerves of his legions of fans on Sunday before dismissing Andrey Rublev to reach the Wimbledon quarter-finals and stay on track for a third straight title. HT Image The Spaniard lost the first set to the Russian 14th seed under the Centre Court roof but found his feet to win 6-7 , 6-3, 6-4, 6-4, roared on by a partisan crowd. While Alcaraz's main rivals, seven-time winner Novak Djokovic and world number one Jannik Sinner, are in ominous form, the second seed has blown hot and cold so far. It was the same story on Sunday as he struggled to find his rhythm early in the match, despite occasional flashes of brilliance, before raising his level. Rublev took the first set on a tie-break but Alcaraz engineered a break in the eighth game of the second set and served out to level the match. The Russian matched his opponent blow for blow in the third set but squandered chances and Alcaraz brought the crowd to its feet with a sensational forehand winner to force a break, sealing the set with an audacious drop shot. The writing was on the wall when Rublev lost his serve in the fifth game of the fourth set and Alcaraz made no mistake. The Spaniard was taken to five sets by veteran Italian Fabio Fognini in his opening match and also dropped a set against journeyman Jan-Lennard Struff in the third round. Sinner, by contrast, has not dropped a single set, losing just 17 games on his way to the fourth round, and Djokovic was in imperious form in dispatching Serbian Davis Cup teammate Miomir Kecmanovic. Alcaraz and Sinner are the undisputed top dogs of men's tennis, sharing the past six Grand Slams between them as the era of the "Big Three" fades. But the 22-year-old has the edge on grass, winning 33 of his 36 Tour-level matches on the surface. The five-time Grand Slam winner's last defeat at Wimbledon came against Sinner in the fourth round in 2022 and he is on a career-best 22-match winning run since April. Having vanquished Djokovic in the past two Wimbledon finals, Alcaraz is looking to join an elite group of Wimbledon icons. He hopes to become the fifth man in the Open era to win at least three consecutive Wimbledon titles after Bjorn Borg, Roger Federer, Pete Sampras and seven-time champion Djokovic. jw/lp This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.
