Fritz, meanwhile, played two tight five-setters against Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard and Gabriel Diallo in the first two rounds before beating Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, Jordan Thompson, and Karen Khachanov with relative ease.

Carlos Alcaraz vs Taylor Fritz prediction
Alcaraz has won the Wimbledon title on each of the last two occasions. In addition to that, he has won three tournaments in the European clay swing and also the HSBC Championships at Queen's Club. Hence, he is the favorite in any match he plays at the All England Club this year.
However, Fritz is no pushover and remains one of the top players in the world. The big American has one of the most powerful serves in world tennis and can also dictate terms with his forehand.
Alcaraz has a slightly weaker backhand than his forehand. Hence, the ideal tactic for Fritz will be to play his inside-out forehand to the Spaniard's backhand as often as possible. The American can also play his down-the-line forehand to put pressure on Alcaraz's backhand.
Alcaraz might consider altering the rhythm of play by using his drop shots to drag Fritz to the net. Given Alcaraz's defensive skills, Fritz's serve should enable him to win points, but he will not find it easy to hit through the Spaniard. Overall, it should be a tight match, and Alcaraz should start as the favorite.
Pick: Alcaraz to win in five sets.
