For the third consecutive year, Carlos Alcaraz is in the Wimbledon final. And he already knows what it means to win it: he was crowned in the two previous editions. The player from Murcia beat Taylor Fritz 4-6, 7-5, 3-6, 6-7(8) in the first round of the center court and his opponent for Sunday's final is: Jannik Sinner. Meanwhile, the young tennis player from El Palmar continues to add to his legacy with impressive numbers. The most amazing thing? He is only 22 years old.

Wimbledon, where Alcaraz is already king

Alcaraz now boasts 20 consecutive wins at Wimbledon, surpassing the best streak of Rafael Nadal at the tournament. The Spaniard from Manacor won seven matches in 2008 and another seven in 2010 to claim two titles, missing 2009 due to injury. Carlos, chasing his third straight Wimbledon crown, hasn’t lost at the event since falling to Sinner in 2022.

He is now the second Spanish male player in history to reach three Wimbledon singles finals, behind only Nadal, who reached five. This is also his sixth Grand Slam final, placing him second all-time among Spanish men, again trailing only Nadal (30).

His name is already among the greats

Alcaraz becomes the 14th player in the Open Era to reach three or more Wimbledon men’s singles finals. Among active players, only he and Novak Djokovic who’s aiming for his 11th Wimbledon final have achieved multiple finals at the All England Club.

He also joins an elite group as just the 10th man in the Open Era to reach three consecutive Wimbledon finals.

At 22 years and 69 days old, Alcaraz becomes only the fourth player in the Open Era to reach three Wimbledon men’s singles finals before turning 23. He joins a legendary trio: Boris Becker (5 finals before 23), Björn Borg (3), and Rafael Nadal (3). (Age is calculated as of the end of the tournament.)

With this latest final, Alcaraz ties Becker and Pete Sampras for fifth-most Grand Slam men’s singles finals reached by a player aged 22 or younger, with six.

Alcaraz and Wimbledon: A special connection

There’s no doubt that Carlos Alcaraz feels at home on the grass of Wimbledon a place where many dream of triumph and few actually succeed. If he lifts the trophy again this Sunday, he will break several historic records once thought unreachable for someone so young. But as the saying goes, records are made to be broken and Alcaraz is rewriting history one match at a time on the sacred lawns of London.
