Carlos Alcaraz keeps winning at Wimbledon. On Friday, he beat Taylor Fritz in a hard match. The score was 6-4, 5-7, 6-3, 7-6(6). Now he plays in the Wimbledon final for the third year straight. He could win Wimbledon three times in a row.
The 21-year-old Spanish player had to work hard. Fritz, from America, played very well. Fritz wanted to be the first American man in the Wimbledon final since 2009. But Alcaraz showed why he’s a champion. He stayed calm when the match was close.
Alcaraz won the first set but lost the second. He played better in the third set. His strong shots and smart moves helped him win. The fourth set was very close. It went to a tie-break. Fritz almost won the set twice. But Alcaraz saved one chance with a soft shot. Then he won four points in a row. This was his 24th win without losing.
Now Alcaraz can do something special. Only four men have won Wimbledon three times straight. The last was Bjorn Borg. Alcaraz could also win both French Open and Wimbledon two years in a row. Borg did this in 1980.
On Sunday, Alcaraz will play Sinner or Djokovic. Both are very good players. Alcaraz beat Sinner at French Open in a close match. He beat Djokovic in the last two Wimbledon finals. But Djokovic has beaten him more times.
This year has been great for Alcaraz. He won five big tournaments already. He won 48 matches and lost only 5. He will probably be number one at the end of the year.
Fans are excited for Sunday’s final. Alcaraz plays exciting tennis. He wins tough matches. Many people think he will be the best player for many years. His skill and fighting spirit make him fun to watch. The young star keeps showing he is the future of tennis.
