He hasn't lost a five-setter since falling to Sinner at the Australian Open in January.
In addition, Alcaraz has not been as dominant this year at Wimbledon as he was last year en route to winning the title. Last year, Alcaraz dropped just four sets over the course of the entire tournament. This year, he has already lost four sets at Wimbledon. You can see who to pick here.
