Carlos Alcaraz is set to face Tommy Paul for a spot in the 2024 Wimbledon semi-finals.
Last year, Alcaraz won Wimbledon by defeating Novak Djokovic in an unforgettable final. This year, while he’s shown some strong play, there have been moments of inconsistency.
He’s already had one five-set match and nearly faced another against Ugo Humbert . This suggests his preparation for Wimbledon wasn’t as solid as last year’s. In contrast, Paul has had perfect prep, winning the Cinch Championships and maintaining a 10-1 record on grass this season.
Head-to-head:
Paul seems to have a knack for challenging Alcaraz. They’ve met four times on the ATP Tour, with each winning twice—a pretty balanced record. Their matches are usually tight and all have been on hard courts, so no clear patterns emerge there.
Error: No data found.
Fans might think this matchup will be thrilling due to Paul’s current form. He’s playing exceptionally well right now and is tough to beat when he’s in such good shape.
Here’s a quick comparison:

Prediction:
Alcaraz is generally the stronger player overall. If they played many matches, he’d win most of them. However, there’s potential for an upset here given Paul’s past performances against him and his current winning streak on grass.
Prediction:: Carlos Alcaraz to win in five sets.
What do you think? Will Alcaraz pull through or will Paul surprise us?
