Fabio Fognini vs Carlos Alcaraz prediction
Carlos Alcaraz is arguably in the form of his life as he begins his quest for a third Wimbledon title and sixth major overall. He is on a career-best winning streak of 17 matches and has won three tournaments in a row heading into the third Grand Slam of the year. He seamlessly made the transition to grass at Queen’s Club as he won the event for a second time after beating Jiri Lehecka in the final.
He goes up against Fabio Fognini in round one. The Italian will be competing at Wimbledon for the final time after declaring his intention to retire at the end of 2025. The 38-year-old has not had a strong grass court season so far as he was dumped out of events in Stuttgart and Nottingham in the first-round. He was given a wildcard at the Mallorca Open but also fell at the first hurdle.
Alcaraz usually takes some time to get going at major events but he’s in unbelievable form right now and has won his last 14 matches at the All England Club. This is likely to be a dominant victory for the Spaniard against Fognini.
