LONDON: Top seed Carlos Alcaraz roared into the Wimbledon quarter-finals with a formidable display of firepower to down big-serving Italian dark horse Matteo Berrettini on Monday .
Berrettini was unseeded after an injury-plagued year but is a potent threat on grasscourts having reached the final two years ago when he lost to Novak Djokovic. He broke serve in the third game of the second set on the way to levelling the match and did the same in the third set with a thumping smash as he picked up speed.
"I'm hungry for more," Alcaraz said on Centre Court."It's something I really wanted. I came in this year with that goal - get into the quarter-final, I'm wanting more.Any doubts that Alcaraz would struggle to adapt to grass have now been banished for good. The forehand proved more than a match for the Italian's, his movement was sublime and his serve potent.
There were a couple of late hiccups when he sent a volley long on one match point and double faulted on another but he sealed victory as a weary Berrettini hit a forehand wide, the Spaniard raising his fists and roaring in delight.
