Carlos Alcaraz v Jan-Lennard Struff – Wimbledon 2025 live: Tennis scores and updates after Cameron Norrie beats Mattia Bellucci

Struff holds to love to stop the rot.

A love hold backs up the break and Alcaraz smiles and fist pumps towards his box.

Two double faults in a row could be costly for Struff as he finds himself 15-40 down.

He saves the first break point with a mammoth serve, and the second with a fine net approach, sending the backhand volley past an outstretched Alcaraz.

Danger again as the Spaniard plays a great lob – and a third double fault in this game hands over the break.

“Come on!” shouts Alcaraz as he gets to 40-0, redirecting the ball with a brilliant backhand down the line.

A delicate disguised drop shot seals the game.

Alcaraz has Struff at his mercy, the German at the net and acres of open court behind him, but thumps into the net!

Two set points for Struff… Alcaraz has the chance to attack a second serve, but nets!

One set apiece on Centre Court.

Struff is on the charge, dominating Alcaraz at the net and forcing errors, pushing the second seed deep in the court.

He earns a break point – and breaks with a brilliant return down the line!

Alcaraz tries something different, rushing to the net and staying there, essentially playing table tennis with Struff, until the Spaniard puts away a fine volley.

Struff then holds to love in little over a minute with some brilliant serving, including some sweet serve and volleys. Moving at pace through this set.

From 40-0 up Struff gets into a spot of bother, a double fault bringing him to deuce.

But he follows that up with two huge serves to back up the break.

Well, well, well. Alcaraz shanks into the net and the German has levelled things up.
