Top seed Carlos Alcaraz takes on Nicolas Jarry in the third round of The Championships Wimbledon 2023 at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club (AELTC) in London on Saturday.
The clash is scheduled to be the first match on the Centre Court on the sixth day of this year’s edition.
When and where to watch?
World No. 1 Alcaraz comes into the match after a slightly wobbly second-round win over Frenchman Alexandre Muller on Friday. The 20-year-old Spaniard made 39 unforced errors during his 6-4, 7-6(2), 6-3 triumph of World No. 84 Muller.
Alcaraz has rapidly improved on grass this season, claiming his maiden title at the tune-up event at Queen’s.
He next faces 25th seed Nicolas Jarry of Chile, who comes into the third-round clash after a 7-5, 5-7, 6-3, 6-4 victory over Australian Jason Kubler.
The 27-year-old Jarry is having the best season of his life with a win-loss record of 22-10 and two titles in Geneva and Santiago. However, on grass, his all-time best performance has been a quarterfinal finish at Halle last month.
Head-to-head record
Played: 1 | Alcaraz: 1 | Jarry: 0
Alcaraz and Jarry have faced each other only once which was on clay in the semifinals of the ATP500 event in Rio de Janeiro earlier this year where the Spaniard came from a set down to win 6-7(2), 7-5, 6-0.
Jarry has never gone past the third round of Wimbledon while Alcaraz’s best performance at the grass Major came last year when he reached the fourth round.
