Carlos Alcaraz opens his title defence at Wimbledon with a hard-fought victory over Estonian qualifier Mark Lajal.
Alcaraz is attempting to win back-to-back major titles after triumphing at the French Open last month.
"He has the level to go up a lot. He is really young, the same age as me, and I am sure I am going to see him more often." The Spaniard looked somewhat rusty as Lajal, ranked 269th in the world, surprised the Centre Court crowd when he struck the first blow for a 3-2 lead. But the qualifier's confidence started to falter when Alcaraz broke to go 6-5 up before serving out the set.
