Alcaraz Extends Wimbledon Streak With Straight-Sets Win Over Tarvet

Carlos Alcaraz, the two-time defending Wimbledon champion, advanced to the third round with a straight-sets victory over British qualifier Oliver Tarvet, winning 6-1, 6-4, 6-4 on Centre Court. Despite being pushed early in the match, Alcaraz showcased his trademark power and consistency, breaking Tarvet's serve six times and extending his career-best 20-match winning streak. Tarvet, ranked 733rd and making his Grand Slam debut, earned widespread admiration for his spirited performance and ability to thrill the home crowd, though he ultimately could not match Alcaraz's intensity. Alcaraz praised Tarvet's game and the respectful support from the crowd, expressing his enjoyment of playing on Centre Court. With this win, Alcaraz continues his pursuit to become only the second man to win the Roland Garros-Wimbledon double in consecutive years and aims for a third consecutive Wimbledon title. He will next face either Felix Auger-Aliassime or Jan-Lennard Struff as he remains a dominant force on grass.
