Carlos Alcaraz has revealed that he struggled to get to grips with the playing surface on Court One during his quarter-final triumph over Tommy Paul.

“I felt the difference playing on Centre Court and on Court One, the grass is different,” said the Spaniard.

“Obviously I feel like it was more sand on Court One than Centre Court. I don’t want to say holes.

“There were more matches on Court One than Centre Court, I had to adapt my game on that.

“I didn’t feel comfortable at all playing on Court One with the conditions on it. As I said, I had to adapt my game on it. I tried to play my best tennis on it.

“Yeah, I think at the end I found it, I found my best tennis and my good tennis just to feel comfortable on it.”
