2-seed Carlos Alcaraz celebrates after winning match point against Fabio Fognini in the first round at Wimbledon.
"I don't know why it's his last Wimbledon," Alcaraz said later, "because the level he has shown, he can still play three or four more years.
After splitting the first four sets with Fabio Fognini in his first-match at Wimbledon, second-seeded Carlos Alcaraz found his rhythm in the deciding set to extend his winning streak to a career-best 19 matches.
And when Alcaraz pushed a forehand long to cede the fourth set, Fognini nodded toward his guest box, where a member of his entourage stood to snap a photo with a cellphone.
When they resumed, Alcaraz outplayed Fognini the rest of the way.
