Alcaraz vs Muller live stream: How to watch Wimbledon 2023 second round tennis online today

Carlos Alcaraz of Spain plays a backhand against Jeremy Chardy of France in the Men's Singles first round match during day two of The Championships Wimbledon 2023 at All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club

Carlos Alcaraz, the champion at Queen's Club, is on a six-game winning streak on grass after making it through to the second round of the men's singles at Wimbledon 2023. But don't write off today's Alcaraz vs Muller match as a one-sided affair; Alexandre Muller has already notched up one shock victory at the All England Club, and he could do it again...

Wimbledon is airing for FREE in some countries. But don't worry if you're on holiday while it's on — because you can watch Alcaraz vs Muller live streams from anywhere with a VPN.

Alcaraz vs Muller live streams: TV schedule, dates

Carlos Alcaraz is enjoying life out on the grass more than ever, an ominous sign for anyone in the Wimbledon draw not called Novak Djokovic. The Queen's champion opened his account on SW19's manicured lawns for 2023 with a surprisingly routine 6-0, 6-2, 7-5 defeat of grass court specialist Jeremy Chardy under the Court 1 roof on Tuesday evening. 

After watching videos of Andy Murray's movement on this surface, the Spanish world number one is now seeking out former Wimbledon king Roger Federer for some tips as he seeks to dominated on the green stuff like the Swiss. "Honestly, I want Roger Federer to watch one of my matches," he said after the Swiss watched Murray on Centre Court. "I wish to talk a little bit with him." Alcaraz's bludgeoning baseline game may be more suited to clay, but the 20-year-old's outrageous raw talent means he's a dangerous on any surface.

Alexandre Muller started his first round match against Arthur Rindernech as the underdog, but upset the form book to win 7-6 (5), 1-6, 6-3, 6-4 in two hours 38 minutes. The world number 84 saved 13 of the 18 break points he faced, keeping his head when all around him were losing theirs. 

Also something of a clay court specialist, the natural baseliner has already equalled his best grand slam return in reaching the second round proper in south west London and will go all out for victory against his more illustrious opponent. This will be the first meeting between the pair, so what better time for the Frenchman to put one over his near neighbour?

Make sure to catch all the Wimbledon action by tuning into a Alcaraz vs Muller live stream. Scroll down for details, the daily schedule and the seeds. 

FREE Alcaraz vs Muller live streams

How to watch Alcaraz vs Muller live streams for FREE in 2023

If you're lucky enough to live in the U.K. then you can look forward to a FREE Alcaraz vs Muller live stream in 2023.

That's because the free-to-air BBC and BBC iPlayer has the rights to the action and will be showing wall-to-wall coverage of Wimbledon 2023. 

But what if you're usually based in the U.K. but aren't at home for a particular Wimbledon live stream? Maybe you're on holiday and don't want to spend money on pay TV in another country, when you'd usually be able to watch for free at home?

Don't worry — you can watch it via a VPN instead. We'll show you how to do that below.

Alcaraz vs Muller live streams around the world

How to watch the 2023 Alcaraz vs Muller live streams from anywhere with a VPN

A VPN, or virtual private network, makes it look as if you're surfing the web from your home country, rather than the one you're in. That means you can access the streaming services you already pay for, from anywhere on Earth. Or anywhere that has an internet connection, at least.

For instance, a Brit who's currently in the U.S. could watch Wimbledon – including the Alcaraz vs Muller live stream – on BBC iPlayer, even though they're not in the U.K. 

They're totally legal, inexpensive and easy to use. We've tested lots of the best VPN services and our favorite right now is ExpressVPN. It's fast, works on loads of devices and even offers a 30-day money-back guarantee. 

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're in the U.S. and want to view a U.K. service, you'd select U.K. from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to BBC iPlayer and watch the Alcaraz vs Muller live stream.

Tennis fans in the U.S. will want ESPN to catch the Wimbledon live streams, including today's second round clash featuring Carlos Alcaraz and Alexandre Muller.

The cable service will have extensive coverage from the All England Lawn Tennis Club on ESPN, ESPN2 and the ESPN Plus streaming service, while ABC will also broadcast some live matches. In total, there'll be 1,500 hours of action across all 18 courts, plus highlights and more.

ESPN is available through most cable packages as well as some of the best cable TV alternatives, including Sling TV, Fubo.TV, YouTube TV and Hulu with Live TV.  

Our pick of these would be Sling TV. The Sling Orange package costs just $40 per month and comes with more than 30 channels including ESPN. Plus, right now Sling is offering new subscribers a $25 discount for the first month

Tennis Channel is available on both Sling TV (with the Sport Extra add-on) and Fubo. 

Fubo costs $75 per month for 166 channels and includes ESPN and the Tennis Channel. It also offer a 7-day free trial.

If you already use those services but aren't in the U.S. right now, you can watch Wimbledon live streams by using a VPN such as ExpressVPN. And if, for whatever reason, you can't get it working, do remember that you have the comfort of a 30-day money back guarantee with ExpressVPN.

Aussies can watch the 2023 Wimbledon live streams on Channel Nine, which means the big games such as Alcaraz vs Muller will also air on the on-demand service 9Now.

That's great news wherever you are, because 9Now is available for free if an Australian postcode. Aussies who aren't in the country right now will simply need to sign up to a VPN such as ExpressVPN in order to watch all the action as if they were back home.

However, 9Now won't have every single match — so to watch it all, ad-free and in up to 4K resolution, you'll need a subscription to Stan Sport.
