Carlos Alcaraz powered through a tough four-set match against Andrey Rublev to reach the Wimbledon 2025 quarter-finals, keeping his dream of a third consecutive title alive. The 22-year-old Spaniard triumphed 6-7(5), 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 in a thrilling Centre Court showdown that tested his resilience, tactics, and championship mindset.
Rublev came out firing, taking the first set in a tense tiebreak. But Alcaraz, known for his composure under pressure, quickly regrouped. He broke Rublev in the second set and never looked back, using his signature mix of power and finesse to control the match.
“You have to stay strong mentally. I knew I was going to play better,” Alcaraz said post-match.
Alcaraz’s game plan was clear: absorb Rublev’s pace, redirect with precision, and mix in drop shots and slices to break rhythm. His ability to adapt mid-match and exploit Rublev’s weaknesses proved decisive.

Alcaraz has now won 18 straight matches at Wimbledon and remains unbeaten in 22 matches since April. He’s just three wins away from joining legends like Federer, Sampras, and Djokovic with three consecutive Wimbledon titles.
Up next, Alcaraz faces Cameron Norrie, the last Brit standing. With the home crowd behind Norrie, Centre Court is set for another electric clash. But Alcaraz, now a fan favorite himself, will bring momentum and confidence into the quarter-final.
Already a five-time Grand Slam champion, Alcaraz is chasing his sixth major title. With potential matchups against Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic looming, the road to the trophy is steep — but Alcaraz has proven he thrives under pressure.
