Carlos Alcaraz has reached his third consecutive Wimbledon final, battling past Taylor Fritz in four sets in the semifinals of the grass-court major on Friday afternoon, 6-4, 5-7, 6-3, 7-6 (6).
With that victory, the two-time defending champion joins a very exclusive list—he’s just the fourth man this century to reach three consecutive finals at Wimbledon, after, of course, the Big 3 of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.
He’s the 10th man in the entire Open Era to achieve the feat, and the first born in 2000 or later—or even 1990 or later—to do it.
