The third stage match of Wimbledon 2023 between Carlos Alcaraz and Matteo Berrettini will take place on July 10.
Matteo Berrettini, initially underestimated, now stands as Carlos Alcaraz’s primary obstacle for a rematch with Novak Djokovic. Alcaraz faced difficulties against Nicolas Jarry’s powerful serving in the third round, gaining valuable experience for future grass-court challenges. Alcaraz’s unbeaten streak on grass continues in his debut season, with a win at the ATP London and only one set dropped en route to the Wimbledon round of 16. The reigning US Open champion aims to secure his first-ever Wimbledon quarterfinals, following his round of 16 defeat by Jannik Sinner in the previous edition. Berrettini’s formidable serving poses a greater threat, making their upcoming match crucial for Alcaraz’s tournament progression.
Matteo Berrettini’s unexpected and impressive improvement has transformed the top half of the draw at Wimbledon. Despite doubts raised by his lackluster performance against Lorenzo Sonego in Stuttgart and a slow start in the current tournament, Berrettini’s turnaround on the grass court has been remarkable. Last year, he also overcame a three-month injury hiatus before excelling on grass, winning nine consecutive matches and securing two ATP titles. Unfortunately, his momentum was halted by a COVID-related withdrawal from Wimbledon. In his previous three Wimbledon appearances, Berrettini faced tough opponents, losing to Roger Federer in the 2019 round of 16 and falling to Novak Djokovic in the 2021 final. His current form poses a significant challenge for his competitors.

With a head-to-head record of 2-1 in favor of Carlos Alcaraz, this upcoming match against Matteo Berrettini represents the most significant challenge the young Spaniard has faced on grass. Unlike Jannik Sinner, who defeated Alcaraz at the same stage in Wimbledon last year, Berrettini is a formidable opponent in these conditions. Unless Berrettini encounters physical issues or a decline in performance as the match intensifies, he stands a genuine chance of preventing Alcaraz from seeking revenge against Novak Djokovic.
