Carlos Alcaraz Has Quick Response to Fan Emergency at Wimbledon originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Tennis star Carlos Alcaraz showed his caring side on Monday when he rushed to help a fan who fell ill during his match on Centre Court, earning cheers and respect from the Wimbledon crowd.

The two-time defending champ eventually asserts himself in the last set to pick up a 7-5, 6-7 (5), 7-5, 2-6, 6-1 victory amid record-breaking Day 1 heat at the oldest Grand Slam tournament.

Carlos Alcaraz, locked in a five-set struggle at Centre Court, looked toward his coach Monday and shouted something about how Fabio Fognini — 38 years old, retiring after this season, winless in 2025 — looked as if he could keep playing until he’s 50.
