LONDON: Carlos Alcaraz was forced to dig deep on Saturday to see off the challenge of Nicolas Jarry and reach the last 16 at Wimbledon.
A single break in the first set was enough for Alcaraz to edge ahead but he faltered in the second, slipping 4-1 behind. Alcaraz regrouped and took the third set 6-3 but the errors crept in again and he found himself in trouble at 3-0 down in the fourth. He added:"It was really, really close. He has great shots... I would say the key is to believe all the time and stay focused."
