The upcoming third round of Wimbledon on Friday, July 5 will see defending champion Carlos Alcaraz face off against Frances Tiafoe once again, renewing their rivalry. Alcaraz began his title defense with an impressive 7-6 (5), 7-5, 6-2 victory over qualifier Mark Lajal. In the second round, Alcaraz met Aleksandar Vukic and dominated the match after a closely contested first, securing a 7-6 (5), 6-2, 6-2 win. This marks his ninth consecutive victory at the venue and in Major tournaments, which started with his recent French Open triumph. Tiafoe faced a challenging first round but managed to turn the tide after being two sets down, ultimately triumphing with a 6-7 (5), 2-6, 6-1, 6-3, 63 win over Matteo Arnaldi. The second round proved to be smoother sailing for Tiafoe as he defeated Borna Coric with a score of 7-6 (5), 6-1, 6-3.
Alcaraz and Tiafoe have split their previous two meetings evenly, with a head-to-head record of 1-1. Alcaraz emerged victorious in their most recent encounter at the 2022 US Open, winning in five sets. On the other hand, Tiafoe won their first match at the 2021 Barcelona Open in straight sets.
Tiafoe has not performed up to his usual standards this season and has expressed his frustration about it. However, he seems to be finding his form just in time.
