Alcaraz and Spiderman actor Holland chatted after the Spaniard's practice session before he crushed Britain's Cameron Norrie in straight sets on Centre Court.

Their conversation turned to golf as Alcaraz said: "Tom, I saw you playing golf as well. Good swing, good swing, eh?"

Holland, a noted tennis fan, responded by saying: "We should play. I'll give you my number and we'll get a game together".

With two days to relax before his semi-final against American fifth seed Taylor Fritz on Friday, Alcaraz accepted Holland's challenge following his quarter-final victory.

"Once we set up a match on golf, I just go for it. I see him playing sometimes. There are some videos of him playing golf. I would say he could beat me," Alcaraz told reporters at the All England Club.

Alcaraz, a five-time Grand Slam champion, is bidding to win Wimbledon for a third successive year.

In his downtime between matches, the world number two has revealed he likes to switch off from tennis by playing golf and traveling to London.

Will Tom Holland and Carlos Alcaraz hit the golf course together?

The 22-year-old has already played golf with former Wimbledon champion Andy Murray ahead of this year's tournament.

Now he wants a celebrity match-up against Holland, who has been performing on stage in Romeo and Juliet in London.

"I would love to play against him in the golf course. For me, it would be such an honor," Alcaraz said. "I will try to set it up in these two days that I will have much time to do it. So let's see if he will be available, and we'll tee it up."
