Carlos Alcaraz A party has been given on court number 1 at Wimbledon to qualify for the round of 16 after forcefully getting rid of the German oscar otte by 6-3, 6-1 and 6-2. In just over 1 hour and 40 minutes, the young Murcian tennis player displayed spectacular tennis to present his candidacy for the title. At the moment he is already among the last 16 applicants.
