Five-time major winner Carlos Alcaraz wasn't in peak tennis form during his five-set first round victory over Fabio Fognini at Wimbledon on Monday. But one moment stood above anything Alcaraz did on the court in his resilient victory at the All-England Club. As Alcaraz and Fognini labored through four sets and played on into a fifth set in the near-90-degree heat, a fan fell ill in the stands, immediately catching the Spaniard's attention.
A concerned Alcaraz looked to the stands to check if the fan was okay, then made sure that a Wimbledon official gave the fan a water bottle. The match was briefly delayed as the fan was attended to be support staff.
