Alcaraz vs. Tiafoe Wimbledon Predictions

Tiafoe has had a tough time getting in the groove since last summer, falling from a career-high world No. 10 ranking to No. 29. But Wimbledon might be the 26-year-old’s opportunity for a comeback — especially if he can take down Alcaraz.

Whether you’re a diehard tennis fan or not, you might remember the last time Tiafoe and Alcaraz went head-to-head. It was the semifinals of the 2022 U.S. Open when both young players were being celebrated as breakout stars. The American and the Spaniard were both hyped up throughout the tournament and, when it came time to play each other, they lived up to the drama with one of the tennis’ most electric games of the last few years. Alcaraz ended up winning after five sets (6-7(6), 6-3, 6-1, 6-7(5), 6-3), and went on to secure his first major title by defeating Casper Ruud.

Since Tiafoe’s fire seems re-ignited after his slump, fans are hoping for another exciting match between the young superstars. However, considering Alcaraz’s dominance over the last few years, oddsmakers are giving the 21-year-old the edge with a -1800 moneyline against Tiafoe’s +920.
