Carlos Alcaraz found time to play golf with Andy Murray, even though it was just days before he was due to defend his Wimbledon title.

Unlike his top rival Jannik Sinner – who conceded just 17 games to his opponents in the first three rounds of Wimbledon and did not lose a single set – Carlos Alcaraz has not had a perfect run so far and has had to struggle more than expected to enter the second week.

Alcaraz's tennis is so often a highlight reel but on grass, he does his most devastating work in the negative spaces of points.
