Match Preview

Carlos Alcaraz is a red-hot favorite to make a winning defense of his Wimbledon title, having won each of the last two editions of the Grand Slam. The Spaniard boasts a stunning record at the All England Club, winning 90% of his matches at the major.

Despite needing five sets in his opening round match, Alcaraz has still cruised through to this deep stage of the competition. However, he was forced to come back from a set down against Andrey Rublev in the round of 16, eventually winning in four.

Cameron Norrie has a strong appetite for playing on the grass, reflected by his run to the semi-finals at Wimbledon in 2022. The Brit has put weak form behind him this summer, with a notable win coming against American Frances Tiafoe in the second round.

Norrie showed his character in the previous round after squandering a two set advantage, before winning the crucial fifth set against Nicolas Jarry.

Norrie has enjoyed an excellent run to this stage of the competition. However, he will come up against a star playing at the highest level on Tuesday.
