Wimbledon Thriller: Alcaraz Faces Rublev in Round 4!
The highly anticipated Round 4 match at Wimbledon pits the No. 2 seed, Carlos Alcaraz, against No. 14 seed Andrey Rublev. Alcaraz, considered a massive favorite, had a shaky start, needing five sets to overcome Fabio Fognini. However, he quickly regained his composure, securing straight-set victories against Oliver Tarvet and a four-set win over Jan-Lennard Struff.
Rublev, on the other hand, is aiming to equal his best-ever Wimbledon result, a quarterfinal appearance achieved in 2023. He reached this stage by defeating Laslo Djere, Lloyd Harris, and Adrian Mannarino, all in four sets or fewer. This marks Rublev's tenth Grand Slam quarterfinal appearance, but he's yet to break through to a semifinal.
