Carlos Alcaraz at Wimbledon
Coming from a victorious feat at the French Open, winning the title from World No. 1 Jannik Sinner, Alcaraz’s journey at Wimbledon was off to a wobbly start. Defeating Fognini in his retirement appearance at Wimbledon, the top seed regained control of his winning streak of 19 matches.
Carlos Alcaraz let out a roar of relief as he finally overcame Fabio Fognini’s spirited challenge, sealing the match with a wide smile and a warm embrace for his veteran opponent. Reflecting on his performance, Alcaraz admitted, “I tried my best but I can be better. I need to improve in the next round.”
Alcaraz has been experimenting with his serve this season, which may have contributed to a first-serve success rate of under 50%, giving Fognini repeated opportunities to apply pressure. Despite the age gap, the experienced Italian put on a display of smart returns and trademark variety, often unsettling the young Spaniard.
Frustration occasionally crept into Alcaraz’s game, evident in his gestures and complaints directed at his coaching box. Yet, when Alcaraz found his rhythm and played with freedom, he reminded everyone why he remains one of the most dangerous players on the tour.
Alcaraz is set to face 21-year-old Tarvet on the third day of the Wimbledon tournament, today, July 2. Tarvet gets a shot at one of sport’s superstars after beating Switzerland’s Leandro Riedi on his Wimbledon debut.
