Carlos Alcaraz had to sweat it out—literally and figuratively—as he narrowly dodged a major upset on Day 1 at Wimbledon, edging past seasoned Italian campaigner Fabio Fognini in a dramatic five-setter. He is in supreme form as he stepped into the semi-finals with ease.
The reigning two-time champion and tournament's No. 2 seed, who should have been brimming with confidence after capturing titles in Rome, the French Open and Queen's Club Championships in the lead-up to the grasscourt Grand Slam, was far from his fluent best under the scorching Centre Court sun but managed to grind out a gritty 7-5, 6-7 (5), 7-5, 2-6, 6-1 win.
Alcaraz, currently riding an 18-match unbeaten run, had to lean on nerves of steel and a champion's instinct rather than pure form to see off a spirited challenge from veteran Fognini, who rolled back the years with fearless shot-making and a nothing-to-lose attitude.
The Spaniard was keen to make it a hat-trick of Wimbledon titles, but the world number one Jannik Sinner had his number this time. Sinner made it look easy by trouncing Alcaraz in four sets.
