He closed the match with a 6-1, 6-4, 6-4 victory after nearly 2 hours of competition.

“I have to praise Oliver. This is just his second match at ATP Tour. I really like his play.
Playing the first match on the central field and still having a performance like this is really respectable. From the beginning, I knew I had to really focus, I had to play my best tennis. Today, I did that and was very satisfied with my performance. ”
With this result, Alcaraz has become the third male tennis player in the history to win 20 or more wins at both Roland Garros and Wimbledon before the 23rd birthday. The other two do this is Bjorn Borg and Rafael Nadal. The next opponent of Carlitos in the third round will be the winner in the match between the No. 25 Felix Auger -anssime and Jan-Lennard Struff. This match was postponed due to darkness.
With Tarvet, the first Grand Slam journey ended, but it would certainly be an unforgettable experience.
