Carlos Alcaraz is making a name for himself as an all-court master, and his recent performances on grass are solidifying that claim. Fresh off his second consecutive French Open title, the 22-year-old Spaniard has seamlessly transitioned to the green lawns, showcasing his versatility and dominance.

Alcaraz is currently ranked No. 2 in the world. In 2025, Alcaraz has already captured five titles, including his first indoor hardcourt title. He also became the youngest man to win ATP 500 titles on four surfaces and the youngest to win titles on all four modern surfaces. He has continued his dominance on clay, securing his first Monte Carlo and Italian Open titles, completing his set of major clay titles. He is also on an 18-match winning streak.

Alcaraz's journey on grass is relatively recent. He hadn't played a tour-level match on the surface until 2021. However, he has quickly adapted, amassing an impressive 29-32 win record, a win percentage that surpasses even grass-court legends like Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic in their early years. To date, Alcaraz has secured four grass-court titles, matching Rafael Nadal's career total.

Alcaraz's success on grass can be attributed to several factors. According to Infosys ATP Beyond The Numbers, his ability to excel on first-serve returns sets him apart. He wins 32.56% of his first-serve return points on grass, the highest mark on record. His return game is not limited to grass, as he leads active players on all surfaces with 34.65%. Furthermore, Alcaraz's win rate in return games on grass is the best among active players at 26.51%.

His adaptability and court positioning are also crucial. Alcaraz positions himself closer to the baseline on grass compared to clay, enabling him to take the ball earlier and create opportunities for winners. He also feels at home at the net and isn't afraid to serve and volley.

Alcaraz's serve, once considered a weaker aspect of his game, has become a weapon. During the Queen's Club final, he fired 18 aces and didn't drop serve in his last three matches. This improvement is attributed to offseason adjustments that have allowed him to spot-serve with greater precision.

Looking ahead to Wimbledon 2025, Alcaraz is aiming for a third consecutive title. If he succeeds, he will join Bjorn Borg as the only men in the Open Era to achieve the Roland Garros-Wimbledon double in consecutive years. He will begin his quest against Fabio Fognini in the first round. While Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic are on the same side of the draw, Alcaraz has a potentially easier path to the final.

Alcaraz's confidence is sky-high after his recent victories, and he has expressed his love for playing on grass. He feels that grass allows him to be aggressive and approach the net frequently.
