Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz is set to return to Wimbledon’s Court 1 this Friday for a scheduled clash against a German opponent in a third-round showdown. The match will feature a player who is seeded 32 and is hoping to climb higher in the London tournament as the week advances.
Alcaraz had earlier claimed a victory over the Dutch player Tallon Griekspoor, a breakthrough performance that marked his first appearance on the famed Court 1 since the tournament began. In the same round, Jan-Lennard Struff faced Griekspoor, continuing the strong early rounds for the German side as the field narrows for the weekend’s fixtures.
Following the press conference, Alcaraz expressed a personal wish to play on the central stadium one day, acknowledging the prestige and tradition of that arena. He also reflected on the presence of other prominent tennis players who have earned the spotlight, noting that their experiences and achievements deserve the main stage as well.
Alcaraz’s upcoming match on Court 1 is slated to be the third order of play, following a mixed schedule that includes the British player Heather Watson taking on Slovenian Kaj Juvan and a slate featuring Angel Kerber of Germany and Elise Mertens from Belgium. The day promises a blend of rising talents and established stars, all vying for a deep run at Wimbledon as the Championship heads toward its later rounds.
