Yardbarker on MSNCarlos Alcaraz nearly achieved a feat that eluded even the Big 3Bjorn Borg remains the only player to pull off the clay-grass-court major double in back-to-back years, doing so in 1978 and 1979 and again in 1980 for good measure. On Sunday, Carlos Alcaraz came tantalizingly close to joining him in the rare club following his wins at the 2024 French Open, 2024 Wimbledon and 2025 French Open.
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.
Carlos Alcaraz is looking to win a third successive Wimbledon title and next faces Taylor Fritz in the semi-finals.
Former player Jim Courier picked Taylor Fritz over Carlos Alcaraz as the likely winner of the Wimbledon semifinals, reasoning that he would like to help the gamblers place big bets.
