Sunday, 09 July 2023 at 11:47

Nicolas Jarry had a commendable gesture after his defeat against Carlos Alcaraz at Wimbledon.

The Chilean faced his first match on Centre Court, against none other than the world No. 1, Carlos Alcaraz. This was their second encounter, with the previous one taking place in the semifinals of the Rio Open 2023, which Alcaraz won and went on to lift the Brazilian trophy.

Despite a strong performance from the 25th seed, Alcaraz secured another victory, although he dropped his first set of the tournament at Wimbledon 2023. Jarry received great support from the crowd.

After Alcaraz's 6-3, 6-7(8), 6-3, 7-5 victory, Jarry left the Centre Court but not before stopping to sign autographs for several fans and giving away three rackets to children in the crowd. This act was applauded by the entire stadium, including Alcaraz, who was ready for the on-court interview.

Nevertheless, Jarry can be proud of his achievements at Wimbledon, as he secured his first two victories at the All England Club by defeating Marco Cecchinato and Jason Kubler. He exits the tournament after putting up a great fight against the world No. 1. Jarry is also set to achieve his highest ranking so far, currently sitting at world No. 26 in the live rankings.

The Chilean will take a break in the coming weeks, although he may appear at the ATP 250 Bastad Open in two weeks' time, for which he would need to request a wildcard entry to participate in the tournament he won in 2019.

On the other hand, the former US Open champion, Carlos Alcaraz, continues his journey at SW19 with great confidence after overcoming a strong opponent. In the fourth round, he will face a Grand Slam finalist, as Alexander Zverev or Matteo Berrettini, both former top-5 players, will compete against each other. Berrettini reached the Wimbledon final in 2021, where he lost to Novak Djokovic in four sets.
