Spain's tennis star Carlos Alcaraz defeated British Oliver Tarvet to advance in the third round of Wimbledon 2025.
The Spaniard, who was made to work hard by the 38-year-old Fabio Fognini earlier in the first round in the five-set match, made a relatively light work of Oliver, winning by 6-1, 6-4, 6-4.
It was his first match against world number 733 Oliver, striking 37 winners and breaking his serve six times to extend his career-best match-win streak to 20.
After the victory, Alcaraz was nothing short of praise for the 21-year-old Tarvet by saying he loves his game.
"I have to give praise to Oliver, his second match on the Tour. I just love his game to be honest. The level he played in the first match on Centre Court, which I know is really difficult, was great tennis," said the 22-year-old.
Alcaraz further added that he displayed great tennis and was happy with the way he approached during the match.
"I knew at the beginning I had to be really focused, had to play my best tennis. Today I played just great tennis and I am really happy with my game today," he said.
Previously, after registering a win over Fognini, Carlos Alcaraz became the fastest player in the Open Era to win 30 matches on grass surfaces. He has won all of his past 16 matches at Wimbledon.
The win against Tarvet was his 31st victory at the marquee event. He will now likely clash against Felix Auger-Aliassime or Jan-Lennard Struff in round three.
"I found the right way to try and enjoy after every match," Alcaraz said.
"When I step on the court, I am just trying to enjoy. It doesn't matter if I am winning or losing. That is the key for the past two or three months, having a great consecutive winning streak, and I am just enjoying," he added.
The second seed is aiming to join legendary Bjorn Borg as the second player in the Open Era to win the French Open-Wimbledon double in successive years and the fifth to lift a hat-trick of Wimbledon titles.
If he wins, this would be Alcaraz's sixth title of the season, with his fifth major title, the French Open, being his crowning achievement this year. Earlier this month, he triumphed at The Queen's Club, winning the title for the second time.
