Spanish player Alcaraz qualifies for Wimbledon Round of 16

Match highlights The second-ranked Alcaraz secured his place in the Round of 16 with a hard-fought win against Struff, with scores of 6-1, 3-6, 6-3, and 6-4 in the third round. Meanwhile, American player Madison Keys, ranked sixth, joined the list of early exits. Performance analysis Alcaraz committed 28 unforced errors during a performance that was not up to his usual standard on the main court. However, he showed enough technical brilliance to defeat the world number 125 and secure his spot in the Round of 16. Previous matches Alcaraz had previously faced significant challenges, overcoming Italian Fabio Fognini (ranked 38) in five sets during the opening round. His performance was also below par in the second round against British amateur Oliver Tarvit.

Alcaraz remains on course for 3rd consecutive Wimbledon title, Pavlyuchenkova downs Osaka

Carlos Alcaraz survived another erratic performance on Friday, battling to a 6-1, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 win over Germany's Jan-Lennard Struff to stay on track for a third straight Wimbledon crown. Alcaraz made 28 unforced errors in an inconsistent display on Centre Court but conjured enough moments of magic to eventually subdue the world number 125 and book his place in the last 16. The world number two had been pushed to the brink in a five-set win over 38-year-old Italian Fabio Fognini in the first round and looked below his best again in a second-round victory over British amateur Oliver Tarvet. After grinding out his latest underwhelming win, the Spaniard has plenty of room for improvement. In contrast to Alcaraz's laboured efforts, world number one Jannik Sinner -- his main rival at the All England Club -- has dropped just 12 games in his first two matches. It is hardly time for Alcaraz to panic, however. He has won his past 21 matches since losing to Holger Rune in the Barcelona final in April, a streak that has brought him titles at the Rome Masters, the French Open and Queen's Club. The 22-year-old, who fought back from two sets down to beat Sinner on clay in an epic final at Roland Garros last month, has won 32 of his 35 Tour-level matches on grass. The five-time Grand Slam winner's last defeat at Wimbledon came against Sinner in the fourth round in 2022. Having vanquished Novak 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. Struff had shocked 25th seed Felix Auger-Aliassime in the second round and the 35-year-old proved a tricky opponent for Alcaraz as well. Having fretted about his misfiring serve in the first two matches of his title defence, it was a worrying moment for Alcaraz when he started the match with a double-fault. The Spaniard managed to win that game and quickly broke Struff's serve twice to wrap up the opening set in just 27 minutes. Alcaraz looked in complete control when he broke again early in the second set. Yet his serve woes suddenly returned as he was broken in the next game and again in the eighth, allowing Struff to level the match. Alcaraz, then still a precocious teenager, had to come from two sets to one down to beat Struff in the Wimbledon first round in 2022. He was not in quite such a perilous position this time, but the Spaniard was still relieved to take the third set after landing the crucial break in the second game. Alcaraz was pushed hard in the fourth set before at last delivering the knockout blow. Pavlyuchenkova advances : Naomi Osaka might be more comfortable on grass courts these days but she will once again leave Wimbledon in the third round after a 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 loss to Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. Osaka is a former No. 1 now ranked 50th and a four-time Grand Slam champion, all on hard courts — she won the US Open and Australian Open twice apiece. Osaka arrived at the All England Club this year having lost three of her last four matches at the place and with a career record of 5-4 there. Her best showing was getting to the third round in 2017 and 2018; she missed the tournament in 2021, 2022 and 2023. From 4-all in the third set, Pavluchenkova grabbed eight of the match's last 10 points, holding at love, then breaking in the final game with the help of a trio of forehand unforced errors by Osaka. 'A majority of you were cheering for Naomi, but that's OK,' Pavlyuchenkova, who turned 34 on Thursday, told the crowd at Court No. 2. 'I'm mentally tough, so that didn't bother me at all. The opposite: It gave me energy.' Agencies

Alcaraz marches on at Wimbledon after tough test, Keys and Osaka crash

Defending Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz was put through the wringer again on Friday (July 4, 2025) before moving into the fourth round but fellow Grand Slam winners Naomi Osaka and Madison Keys fell by the wayside at the All England Club. It was a good day for British fans after Sonay Kartal and Cameron Norrie sailed through, with the nation's big hope Emma Raducanu taking on top seed Aryna Sabalenka to round off the Centre Court action in the evening. That match began a tad belatedly with Alcaraz pushed to the limit and taken to four sets by German Jan-Lennard Struff before the second seed prevailed 6-1 3-6 6-3 6-4 after some luck towards the end of the match. A missed volley with an open court in front of him halted Struff's momentum after eight games and Alcaraz pounced shortly afterwards for the break he needed to lay the platform for a hard-fought victory. "He missed that volley... I still can't believe that I'm standing here," Alcaraz said, admitting it had been a difficult day for him in the office. "I was suffering in every service game that I did... 0-30s and breakpoints down. It was stressful. Every time he could push me, he did. I was trying to survive." Struff's compatriot Laura Siegemund, the oldest woman left in the singles draw at 37, earlier sealed a 6-3 6-3 victory over Australian Open champion Keys, who joined the exodus of star players at the year's third Grand Slam. Sixth seed Keys looked a far cry from the player who lifted her maiden major in Melbourne this year, the American racking up 31 unforced errors and producing wayward serves on her way out of the door. Taylor Fritz ensured that there would still be some Fourth of July celebrations for Americans at Wimbledon as some final-set fireworks moved him into the last 16 with a 6-4 6-3 6-7(5) 6-1 win over Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. The fifth seed, who has spent more than nine hours on court across 14 gruelling sets, said he was fresher than ever ahead of his meeting with Australian Jordan Thompson. "This is going to sound crazy," said Fritz, who has been suffering tendinitis in his knee and had to deal with a bruised arm after a fall. "My body is actually feeling better after each match," he said. "I feel like somehow it felt the worst after my first round but now it's getting better." Ben Shelton, who was left seething after his second-round clash with Rinky Hijikata was suspended late on Thursday, hit three aces -- two clocked at 140 mph -- and an unreturned second serve to take his place in the last 32. Amanda Anisimova progressed to the fourth round with a 6-3 5-7 6-3 win over Hungarian Dalma Galfi. Home Hopes Local favourite Kartal moved on with a remarkable display against French qualifier Diane Parry, claiming nine games in a row to come from 1-4 down to win 6-4 6-2. Fellow Briton Norrie then saw off Mattia Bellucci 7-6(5) 6-4 6-3 to set up a meeting with Chilean Nicolas Jarry, who overcame Brazilian wonder kid Joao Fonseca 6-3 6-4 3-6 7-6(4) in a South American showdown on Court Two. At 38, tennis showman Gael Monfils is two decades older than Fonseca and the Frenchman was more sage than sour after his 6-4 1-6 4-6 7-6(5) 6-4 defeat by Hungary's Marton Fucsovics. "To tell you that I would have won the match is too much," Monfils said. "I don't really know. I wish I could win this match today but that's sport. I'm going to rest a couple of days and go back on court and try to be ready for the U.S. tour." It was the end of the road for Monfils's wife Elina Svitolina too as the Ukrainian 14th seed fell 6-1 7-6(4) against 24th seed Elise Mertens. Osaka may not be seeded these days but looked every bit the Grand Slam great for a set before losing 3-6 6-4 6-4 to Russia's Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. Rublev also kept alive Russian hopes with a 7-5 6-2 6-3 victory over Adrian Mannarino to set up a clash with Alcaraz.
