It has been over two months without Carlos Alcaraz, who continues his recovery process from the wrist injury he suffered last April at the Conde de Godó in Barcelona. Since then, he has not played in Madrid, Rome, Roland Garros, or Queen’s, with Wimbledon being the next major tournament he will miss.

Oliver Tarvet reveals what it means to play against Carlos Alcaraz at Wimbledon

Even though he is absent from the circuit, his presence is felt through plays, anecdotes, and testimonials from other players. The latest case is that of Oliver Tarvet. The English prospect faced the Spaniard in the second round of Wimbledon 2025, which was both his first Grand Slam tournament and his debut on Centre Court.

Reflecting on that day and the match with Alcaraz, where he lost 6-1, 6-4, 6-4, Tarvet told Tennis365: "I was so ignorant that I simply was not thinking about what was happening. I feel like I was just playing tennis. I tried not to focus too much on the other side of the net. I feel like I just tried to take care of my own game and what I could control."

The Brit took the opportunity to express what it means to play against Alcaraz on Wimbledon's Centre Court: "Clearly, it was tough, so I felt like sometimes I got some really good shots and yet it wasn't enough. Some of the things he comes up with on court are not normal. Obviously, there is a clear gap in level between how Alcaraz and I play, but maybe I was a bit surprised by the extent of that difference, as I competed with him for two sets."
