Wimbledon 2025 LIVE!
The quarter-final action is underway at Wimbledon, where Cameron Norrie faces Carlos Alcaraz in the standout tie on Centre Court on Tuesday. A huge challenge lies ahead for Norrie, who is the last Brit standing at the All England Club for 2025 after his thrilling and feisty five-set win over Nicolas Jarry on Sunday followed Sonay Kartal’s defeat by Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.
The world No61 is looking to match his best-ever run at Wimbledon, when he reached the semi-finals in 2022 as the ninth seed before losing to eventual champion Novak Djokovic in four sets. The resurgent Norrie has also seen off Roberto Bautista Agut, Frances Tiafoe and Mattia Bellucci during another memorable spell at SW19, but faces an altogether tougher assignment against Alcaraz.
The Spaniard is looking to become the first player to win three consecutive titles at Wimbledon since Roger Federer, having seen off Djokovic in the final in back-to-back years and bounced back from dropping the first set to beat Andrey Rublev at the weekend, following victories over Fabio Fognini, Oliver Tarvet and Jan-Lennard Struff. Follow Norrie vs Alcaraz live below, with game-by-game updates from Standard Sport’s Dom Smith on Centre Court.

GAME, SET AND MATCH ALCARAZ -- Norrie 2-6 3-6 3-6 Alcaraz

And then comes a double fault, Alcaraz feeling the pressure all of a sudden! Hint of a break back for Norrie here?
Perhaps not. An ace gets the defending champion back to 30-30, and a volleyed winner earns him another match point.

15-40 when he hits an unreturned serve onto the line.
But he’s broken once more, for the first time in this third set, when he goes long again. It is hard to see how Alcaraz doesn’t comfortably see out a straight-sets victory from here. Let’s see...

Norrie 2-6 3-6 2-2 Alcaraz
18:31 , Dom SmithThat was probably the finest point of the entire match, and it came not from Alcaraz but from Norrie - a drop shot which danced JUST over the net and curled away into the corner, past Alcaraz. No wonder the Briton called on the Centre Court crowd to raise the volume levels after that.
With a missed drop shot from Alcaraz, Norrie holds serve and gains an almighty roar from the crowd once more. Level at two games all in the third.

18:22 , Dom SmithAlcaraz winds up a forehand winner and although Norrie returns it, he returns it into the net. 30-15.

Norrie 2-6 1-3 Alcaraz
17:58 , Dom SmithThings are not going Norrie’s way right now, encapsulated by the fact the journalist next to me just whispered: “This might get messy.” Hopefully not, for Norrie’s sake. But yes, it might well, if Alcaraz keeps this level up.

Norrie 2-6 1-0 Alcaraz
17:44 , Dom SmithThere is just no stopping Alcaraz at the moment. He is in the best form he’s shown this Wimbledon so far.

Norrie 1-5 Alcaraz
17:33 , Dom SmithAlcaraz is into the groove and in the mood here. With an ace he serves up a 40-0 lead on serve, and with an unmet winner down the line it’s game. 5-1. The first set is within touching distance.
Norrie 1-4 Alcaraz
17:30 , Dom SmithReally excellent point from Norrie, who is deep at the baseline and senses his moment when Alcaraz approaches the net, firing a forehand winner past him.
But the 22-year-old wants a double break here and has every chance of getting it at 15-40 ahead.
And Alcaraz does manage to break with a spellbinding winner which flies up and over the advanced Norrie at pace and lands on the line, to the awe of those in Centre Court. It’s 4-1 and Alcaraz serves next. Not a good start (scoreline-wise) for Norrie...
Norrie 1-3 Alcaraz
17:27 , Dom SmithWhich player is serving seems to matter very little at the moment in this rather strange opening set, and Alcaraz has to pull off a show-stopping winner to escape from 0-30 down. An ace gets him back level. Fair enough.
With his fourth successive point, Alcaraz holds.
Norrie 1-2 Alcaraz
17:23 , Dom SmithNorrie faces two breaks points on HIS serve now, and saves the first with a stunning ace down the T.

Norrie 1-1 Alcaraz

Alcaraz stays in the game with an unreturned first serve, and saves the second break point with a backhand volley putaway at the net. The third is saved too!

Alcaraz holds! That’s a relief for the Spaniard, but encouraging for Norrie.
Norrie 1-0 Alcaraz
17:12 , Dom SmithAlcaraz goes 30-15 up on Norrie’s serve in the first game of the match as the Brit hits long after an excellent forehand from the Spaniard, but it’s 30-30 when Alcaraz himself hits too far.

Underway

Standard Sport prediction
17:04 , Dom SmithCarlos Alcaraz has seemed to struggle with a few of his matches en route to this quarter-final stage, but then it hasn’t been plain-sailing for Cameron Norrie either, and his match against Nicholas Jarry must have taken a bit out of him.
