Carlos met Jan-Lennard Struff in the third round and notched a 6-1, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 victory in two hours and 25 minutes. Struff's booming serve and aggressive grass-court play made life extremely difficult for the five-time Major winner.

Alcaraz’s unseeded opponent was ranked 125th in the world and was competing in the Wimbledon third round for the fourth time, having never gone beyond. The Spaniard ensured the wait continues for the 35-year-old, who was a 2018 Australian Open doubles semi-finalist.

Carlos Alcaraz kept his Wimbledon three-peat campaign chugging along by beating Jan-Lennard Struff 6-1, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 on Centre Court on Friday to reach the fourth round.
