Struff: "It is difficult to play against Carlitos, I would have liked to take him to the fifth set"

A tough match unfolded this afternoon between Carlos Alcaraz and Jan-Lennard Struff at Wimbledon 2025, with the final victory going to the Spaniard in four sets, although it easily could have gone to a fifth. The German struggled to find his rhythm at the beginning, a factor that would eventually cost him in the outcome of the match. In the press conference that followed, this was his analysis of a game that clocked in at 2h25min.

“It's tough to play against Carlitos, for me, it was very different performing on Centre Court; initially, it took me a while to adjust, I wasn't feeling great. Then I managed to get back into the game, had a good second set, and in the third, I came close. In the fourth, I let the game slip at 4-4, it was painful, I would have loved to push it to a fifth set, but I missed the opportunity,” the German suggested.
