Tom Holland Challenges Carlos Alcaraz to Golf Match After Wimbledon Meet-Up: ‘You Got a Good Swing’

A lighthearted moment between tennis sensation Carlos Alcaraz and actor Tom Holland has sparked excitement among fans, hinting at a friendly off-court showdown that could add some extra fun to the Wimbledon buzz.

Alcaraz, gearing up for his Wimbledon semi-final against Taylor Fritz, was spotted chatting and sharing laughs with Holland during a practice session before his quarterfinal win over Cameron Norrie. The British actor, best known for his role as Spider-Man, paid a visit to the young Spaniard’s session and quickly turned their conversation to golf.

“Tom! I saw you playing golf as well. Good swing, good swing, eh?” Alcaraz complimented in a video published by Wimbledon. Holland didn’t hesitate: “We should play!” he responded with enthusiasm.

Despite the pressure of a crucial match on the horizon, Alcaraz was eager to accept the challenge. “Once we set up a match on golf, I just go for it,” he told reporters, expressing excitement about the prospect. “I saw him playing sometimes. There are some videos of him playing golf. I would say he could beat me. But yeah, I would love to play against him. It would be such an honour.”

The pair’s banter adds a new dimension to Alcaraz’s Wimbledon story, where he’s already impressing fans with his remarkable on-court prowess. Holland, a known tennis fan who recently attended the BNP Paribas Open final with Zendaya—an event Alcaraz also won—is now poised to become Alcaraz’s challenger not just on grass but on the golf course.

“We’ll try to set it up in these two days when I have a bit of time. Let’s see if he’s available—and we’ll tee it up,” Alcaraz said, looking forward to some relaxed competition after the intensity of Wimbledon.

The Wimbledon Semi-Final Showdown

Before the golf match can tee off, Alcaraz faces a formidable opponent in World No. 5 Taylor Fritz. Fritz secured his semi-final spot after a hard-fought victory over Karen Khachanov, describing a rollercoaster match that tested his resolve. “I was playing great, felt in control—and then suddenly, I just started making a ton of mistakes. So I really had to fight to reset in the fourth and get it back to neutral,” Fritz said post-match.

Fans Excited for Both Tennis and Tee-Off

As anticipation builds for the high-stakes Wimbledon semi-final, fans are equally thrilled about the potential Alcaraz-Holland golf match. Whether battling on the tennis court or competing on the greens, Carlos Alcaraz continues to capture imaginations and keep audiences entertained.

With Tom Holland’s challenge now in play, the tennis star’s summer promises plenty of excitement—both on and off the court.
