Carlos Alcaraz arrived at Wimbledon and was greeted by a simple question from Aryna Sabalenka, which got both champions laughing together.
The moment happened as Alcaraz made his way to the tennis courts at the All England Club. Sabalenka, already sitting courtside, spotted the Spanish star and asked him a playful question.
As Alcaraz waved hello to her, she shot back with a cheeky inquiry: “Do you know how to lose?”
Carlos Alcaraz Arrives at Wimbledon 2025 in Top Form
It’s a fair question considering Alcaraz’s current hot streak. The 22-year-old Spaniard hasn’t lost a match in over two months, racking up 18 consecutive wins dating back to his loss in the Barcelona final. The playful exchange highlights the mutual respect between two of tennis’s biggest stars.
Sabalenka currently holds the world number one ranking in women’s tennis, while Alcaraz is ranked second in the men’s game. The Belarusian star knows a thing or two about winning herself, having captured three WTA titles this season.
Alcaraz comes to Wimbledon with serious momentum. The Spanish player just won his second Queen’s Club title, beating Jiri Lehecka in a thrilling three-set final that showcased his grass-court prowess.
This victory marked his 18th straight win and his fifth title of 2025. He hasn’t lost a match since April 20, when he fell to Holger Rune in the Barcelona final. That’s more than two months of pure dominance across multiple surfaces.

The two-time Wimbledon champion has been in excellent form this year, collecting 21 career titles so far. His 2025 season includes victories at major tournaments like the French Open, where he successfully defended his title in an epic five-hour comeback against world No. 1 Jannik Sinner.
He also won the Monte Carlo Masters and the Italian Open, completing his collection of big clay-court titles. The victory in Rome was particularly sweet as it made him just the third man after Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic to win all four major clay titles.
At Queen’s Club, Alcaraz didn’t lose serve in his final three matches, showing the kind of grass-court adaptation that makes him so dangerous at Wimbledon. His ability to transition from clay to grass in just days demonstrates why he’s considered one of the most complete players in tennis.
Alcaraz enters Wimbledon as the favorite, aiming for a historic three-peat. His grass court record speaks for itself: He’s 24-3 on grass in his career, with both Wimbledon titles coming in dominant fashion over Novak Djokovic.
Aryna Sabalenka Seeks First Wimbledon Title
For Sabalenka, Wimbledon 2025 presents a chance to capture the one major title that’s been missing from her trophy cabinet. The 27-year-old Belarusian star has reached the semifinals at Wimbledon twice before, in 2021 and 2023, but she was forced to miss last year’s edition due to a shoulder injury.
Sabalenka has had a strong 2025 season, winning three titles, including the Brisbane International, Madrid Open, and Miami Open. She reached the finals at both the Australian Open and French Open, though she lost both matches. Her current record stands at 42 wins and five losses this year.
The world number one has won three Grand Slam singles titles in her career – the 2023 and 2024 Australian Opens and the 2024 US Open. She also has two Grand Slam doubles titles from 2019 and 2021, making her one of only eight players to hold both singles and doubles No. 1 rankings.
Despite her success on other surfaces, Wimbledon remains the one major championship missing from her collection. Her powerful game seems tailor-made for grass; her serve can reach 124 mph, and her groundstrokes can overwhelm opponents.
Sabalenka enters as the women’s favorite for the tournament. Her current form, combined with her aggressive baseline style and improved net play, makes her a serious contender to break through at the All England Club finally.
The playful exchange between Alcaraz and Sabalenka shows the camaraderie among tennis’s elite. Both players have dominated their respective tours in 2025, with Alcaraz’s incredible winning streak and Sabalenka’s consistent excellence keeping them at the top of the rankings.
As Wimbledon 2025 begins, all eyes will be on whether Alcaraz can complete his three-peat and whether Sabalenka can finally capture that elusive Wimbledon crown. If their current form is any indication, both stars are primed for deep runs at the All England Club.
