“It’s amazing to get into the third round for the first time here in Wimbledon,” said Alcaraz.
“I’ve enjoyed playing here a lot. In front of you ‒ great energy, great crowd so I’m really, really happy.
“This is the key – to enjoy playing tennis. I love playing tennis. I enjoy every single second I’m on court since the beginning of the year until now. I will do the same thing, enjoy playing tennis, and the results are coming with it.
