Alcaraz, Norrie Clash in Wimbledon Men’s Quarterfinals

At Wimbledon 2025, World No. 2 and two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz is set to face home favorite Cameron Norrie in a highly anticipated quarter-final match. Alcaraz recently extended his grass-court Grand Slam winning streak to 18 matches by coming from behind to defeat Andrey Rublev, showcasing resilience and skill. Norrie, the last British player remaining, reached the quarter-finals after a tough five-set victory over Nicolas Jarry and is known for his energetic and vocal style on court despite some criticism from opponents. Though Norrie trails Alcaraz 2-4 in their head-to-head record, he has won their two most recent encounters and is focused on taking the tournament one step at a time. Alcaraz acknowledges Norrie's diverse game and expects to bring his best level to the match, while Norrie emphasizes the need to be tough and energetic to have a chance. The match is highlighted as a significant test for both players, with Alcaraz favored but Norrie undeterred by the challenge.
