Thanks to his latest victory at the All England Club, Carlos Alcaraz is compiling some pretty impressive numbers.
The Spaniard recovered from losing the first set to beat Andrey Rublev in four on Centre Court, returning to the Wimbledon quarterfinals for the third straight year.
It’s his 12th Grand Slam quarterfinal at just 22 years and 56 days, making him the youngest man in the Open era to achieve this feat.
Given he’s the two-time defending champion, it’s been a long time since Alcaraz tasted defeat at Wimbledon.
It last occurred in 2022, in the fourth round, against Jannik Sinner – now the world No.1 whom No.2 seed Alcaraz is projected to meet in a second straight major final.
Since that four-set loss to Sinner three years ago, Alcaraz has built an 18-match winning streak at the tournament.
He stands three wins away from a Wimbledon title hat-trick, something only Pete Sampras, Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Bjorn Borg have achieved among men in the Open era.

Alcaraz is also gunning for his third consecutive grasscourt title, after winning last year’s Wimbledon and Queen’s two weeks ago.
He has won 16 consecutive matches on grass, and 29 of his past 30 on the surface dating back to 2023.
Just three players – Federer, Djokovic and Andy Murray – have built longer winning streaks on grass this century.
A two-time champion at both Queen’s and Wimbledon, Alcaraz boasts a career record of 33-3 on grass. It’s a winning rate of 91.7 per cent, the best of any man in the Open era.
Alcaraz is now 9-0 on grass in 2025, part of a 22-match winning streak which stretches back to the start of the Rome Masters.
This is by far the longest winning streak of his career; his previous best was 14 matches in 2023, an unbeaten run which ended at the Canada Masters.
Among active ATP players, only Sinner and Novak Djokovic have compiled longer ones.
Alcaraz is also on track to complete a second consecutive ‘Channel Slam’, the achievement of winning Roland Garros and Wimbledon back-to-back on either side of the English Channel.
Bjorn Borg is the only other man in the Open era who managed to complete the feat in successive years; he did so three times in a row, from 1978 to 1980.
The clay of Roland Garros and the grass of Wimbledon have come to be known as the ‘natural’ surfaces – as opposed to the hard courts used at the Australian and US Opens – and it is on these Alcaraz has built a 32-match winning streak at Grand Slam level.
His last Slam loss on either clay or grass came in the 2023 French semifinals to Djokovic, before he went on to win Wimbledon in 2023, the Roland Garros-Wimbledon double in 2024, and Roland Garros again in 2025.
Borg is the only man in the Open era to have won more consecutive matches at Roland Garros and Wimbledon than Alcaraz.
Alcaraz will look to extend all of his active winning streaks when he returns on Tuesday to face British hope Cameron Norrie in the last eight.
