After having some ups and downs in the first week of Wimbledon, Carlos Alcaraz definitely raised his level both against Andrey Rublev in the round of 16 and against Cameron Norrie in the quarterfinals.

Taylor Fritz is still awaiting his first win over Carlos Alcaraz, and the American didn't hold back from snubbing the Spaniard once before during Wimbledon.

Alcaraz is establishing a Grand Slam pattern which spells danger for the rest of the field: get him early, or risk not getting him at all.
