Men’s No. 2 seed Carlos Alcaraz of Spain heads into the second round at the 2025 Championships at Wimbledon today where he’ll face England’s Oliver Tarvet on Center Court at approximately 9:40 a.m. ET. Tarvet, a UC San Diego college student, is an amateur who’s currently ranked No. 733 in the world. He earned one of 16 spots held for competitors who participate in the qualifying tournament the week prior to Wimbledon’s main event. Tarvet has won four matches in a row on the grass at Wimbledon and regardless of what happens when he faces Alcaraz, he plans to continue as an amateur so he can return to San Diego and play there during his final year of college.
