Carlos Alcaraz expressed pride in his victory over Fabio Fognini in the first round of Wimbledon, overcoming both nerves and extreme heat. The match lasted over four hours and ended with Alcaraz winning 7-5, 6-7 (1), 7-5, 2-6, 6-1. Despite early struggles, Alcaraz showcased maturity and a strong mindset, reflecting on his desire to be seen as a champion. This victory extends his impressive record in first rounds of Grand Slams, and underscores his current form, having secured multiple titles recently.
Grand slam titles cannot be won on the first day of competition, but they can always be lost. Alcaraz has been brilliant at ensuring that he at least gives himself a chance in every tournament.
I really want to put myself like a champion that always finds a way to win. I've been playing really, really tough matches the last year.
