Alcaraz marches confidently into the next round of Wimbledon!

On July 2, 2025, the defending champion Carlos Alcaraz was able to convince again and confidently prevailed in his second game of the Wimbledon Championships. With a clear victory over the British player Oliver Tarvet, Alcaraz triumphed 6:1, 6:4, 6:4. These performances cement his status as one of the favorites in this prestigious tournament, considered the oldest and most traditional tennis event in the world, held at Wimbledon, London.

Alcaraz praised his opponent Tarvet, currently ranked No. 733 in the world and a college player, for his strong performance in the game. With this result, Alcaraz moves into the third round, where he will now face Jan-Lennard Struff or Felix Auger-Aliassime. The 2025 Wimbledon Championships will take place from June 30 to July 13 and will offer total prize money of £53.5 million, of which the singles winners will each receive £3 million.
