Carlos Alcaraz certainly had a big challenge in successfully defending his Wimbledon title at the All England Club.
The Spaniard did, however, head into the third major of the year in superb form, having won the French Open.
He achieved major wins on all surfaces with that success at Roland Garros, with the clay-court win following his glories on hard and grass surfaces.
The Spanish star is clearly a talented player across all three, with Alcaraz believing he can adapt ‘very well on every surface’.
