Moving within one victory of a third consecutive Wimbledon championship at age 22, Carlos Alcaraz defeated Taylor Fritz in the semifinals.

There are a number of factors which turn an exciting rivalry into an epic, enduring duel that transcends the sport.The core talent. The blend of personalities. The gripping encounters on the biggest stages.

After an all-time classic in Paris, the world’s two best tennis players get a coveted Wimbledon rematch.

Taylor Fritz knows that elite tennis can be an unforgiving classroom at times, but he is determined to learn lessons from painful defeats like the one he suffered at the hands of Carlos Alcaraz at Wimbledon on Friday.

A first eye-opening, record-breaking sale occurred June 27 when Alcaraz’s 2024 Topps Royalty one-of-a-kind autographed card with the inscription “2024 Indian Wells Champ” and bearing the knob of his used racket in the card sold for $222,000 through Fanatics Collect. It only took one day for that record sale to be broken.
