Carlos Alcaraz, Taylor Fritz H2H record and stats

The Spaniard has faced the American only twice. After their first two meetings, Alcaraz is leading the H2H tally 2-0 against Fritz. When they met the last time, it was during the 2024 Laver  Cup group stage. Alcaraz won that encounter easily in straight sets.

  • 2024 Laver Cup Round Robin: Alcaraz 6-2, 7-5
  • 2023 Miami Open QF: Alcaraz 6-4, 6-2

What’s your perspective on:

Can Taylor Fritz fulfill his 'major dream' and make America proud by reaching the Wimbledon final?

Have an interesting take?

Wimbledon, however, will mark their maiden face-off on grass. Considering the form they are in, it’s going to be an intense clash. Fritz has already won two titles on grass in 2025. Last month, he lifted the trophies at the BOSS Open in Stuttgart and then Eastbourne too. Out of his 14 matches this season on the green surface, the World No.5 has won 13 (including Wimbledon), with a staggering win percentage of 92.85.

But what about Alcaraz? Well, he’s been in a league of his own. Last month, straight after his second-straight French Open triumph, the World No.2 won the HSBC Championships at the Queen’s Club. So far, he’s won all of his 10 matches on grass this season with a perfect win percentage. Moreover, he’s on a 23-match win streak—the longest in his career. Since the Italian Open in May, he’s not lost a single ATP encounter.

What’s at stake for Alcaraz, Fritz in Wimbledon semi-final?

Carlos Alcaraz is on the verge of becoming the first player since Novak Djokovic to win three-straight Wimbledon titles. The 24-time slam king won the 2018, 2019, 2021, and 2022 editions back-to-back (in 2020, the event was canceled due to Covid)*. Here’s the overall list of ATP icons who have clinched Wimbledon trophies in three or more successive editions:

Consecutive Wimbledon TitlesPlayersYears
5Bjorn Borg1976-1980
5Roger Federer2003-2007
4Pete Sampras1997-2000
4Novak Djokovic2018-2022*
3Pete Sampras1993-1995

Plus, the Spaniard can also complete a Double Channel slam (French Open and Wimbledon). Last year, the five-time slam winner won Roland Garros and the Gentlemen’s trophy. If he enters the final after besting Fritz and eventually wins on Sunday, he will become only the second man ever to reach this rare milestone. Bjorn Borg is the only ATP player in the Open Era to have accomplished a Double Channel Slam in two consecutive years (1978 to 1980).

On the other hand, Taylor Fritz has the chance to become the first American man in 22 years to win a Grand Slam. Back in 2003, Andy Roddick was the last one to do it when he won the US Open after besting Juan Carlos Ferrero 6-3, 7-6, 6-3. Last year, Fritz got a massive opportunity at the 2024 US Open. But he couldn’t defeat the World No.1 Jannik Sinner in the summit clash.
