<p>Carlos Alcaraz will face Taylor Fritz on Friday for the opportunity to reach the men’s singles 2025 Wimbledon Championship final and defend his title for a second successive time, as he aims to win it for a third time in a row.</p> <p>The Spaniard has produced some exceptional tennis along the way on the grass, where he seems to be uber comfortable. Fritz has also produced some magic in SW19 with his efforts, but he’ll have to produce some more if he is to get past the number 2 seed, as he is yet to beat him in his career so far.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Fritz vs Alcaraz Wimbledon Betting Preview</h2> <p>The duo has met twice in the past, first in 2023 and then again a year later. The match this year continues a trend of playing each other once a year. However, Fritz will be hoping another emerging pattern does not continue.</p> <p>Alcaraz won both those matches in straight sets. He defeated the American in Miami in 2023, winning 6-4, 6-2, before beating him again in Berlin 6-2, 7-5. Both of these matches were on a hard court (Berlin was indoor), so the grass makes for an interesting angle.</p> <p>Fritz has had to work hard to reach the semi-finals. He has needed at least four sets in each of his matches (bar his fourth-round walkover win) to advance, with tiebreaks needed in each of those victories at some point. He was almost out of the tournament in the first round, when he went 2-0 down to Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard before rallying back to win 3-2. Still, he defeated Karen Khachanov 6-3, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 (7-4) to set up a tie with the Spanish star.</p> <p>For Alcaraz, straight-set victories have also been hard to come by, although he achieved this in his quarter-final clash against Cam Norrie. He won 6-2, 6-3, 6-3. He has dropped in just one of his matches and has never appeared to face a real threat of being knocked out.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Fritz vs Alcaraz Betting Predictions</h2> <p>Alcaraz leads the <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/tennis/mens-wimbledon/taylor-fritz-v-carlos-alcaraz-9392833">latest Fritz vs Alcaraz betting odds</a> at Sportsbet and is the clear favourite to advance to the final of the 2025 Wimbledon Championships to defend his men’s singles title.</p> <p>With the Spaniard expected to dominate his opponent, the BYO Sportbet bet options can provide bettors with additional value.
