The second stage match of Wimbledon 2023 between Carlos Alcaraz and Alexandre Muller will take place on July 6.
Carlos Alcaraz started strong at the French Open, defeating Flavio Cobolli 6-0, 6-2, 7-5. He continued his impressive form at Wimbledon, achieving the same scoreline against Jeremy Chardy, who announced his retirement. Throughout the French Open, Alcaraz displayed solid performances against tough opponents, but fell short in the semifinals against Novak Djokovic. Currently on a six-match winning streak on grass, his best performance on the surface, Alcaraz has shown significant improvement. He recently claimed a title in London. In his career, he holds a 7-2 record in the second round of Grand Slam tournaments, with a defeat at Wimbledon in 2021.
In his Wimbledon debut, Alexandre Muller impressed with a four-set victory over Arthur Rinderknech. It’s noteworthy that Muller had been competing in clay Challenger events until recently, while his opponent had been focusing on grass and even won a set against Carlos Alcaraz in London. This win adds to Muller’s successful 2023 season, where he reached his first-ever quarterfinal in Doha and came close to winning his maiden ATP title in Marrakech. Muller’s consistent performances have also led to his entry into the top 100 rankings. Facing the world number one at Wimbledon adds further excitement to his grass-court campaign.
