Alcaraz ends Tarvet's advanture at Wimbledon, Paolini crashes out

Carlos Alcaraz ended Oliver Tarvet's advanture at Wimbledon on Wednesday, seeing off the British amateur in straight sets to reach the third round.

Two-time defending champion Alcaraz needed two hours and 17 minutes to subdue World No. 733 Tarvet, who produced flashes of his emerging talent to delight the partisan crowd.

"First of all, I have to give big praise to Oliver. In his second match on the [ATP] Tour, I just loved his game to be honest," said the Spaniard after his 6-1, 6-4, 6-4 victory. "I knew I had to play my best tennis. I was really happy with my performance, but big praise to him as well."

Meanwhile, China's Buyunchaokete bowed out in four sets against the USA's Brandon Nakashima in the first round. The World No. 71's appearance at the All England Club means he has now competed in all four Grand Slam main draws, but the 23-year-old remains winless.

"This has been my strongest showing in a Grand Slam main draw so far. I executed all of my abilities and strategies perfectly. Just like at Roland-Garros, I thoroughly enjoyed competing here. I believe I'm improving with each match. And at a Grand Slam like this, once you adjust to the level and pressure, you block out all distractions, and just focus entirely on the match," Buyunchaokete said after the match.

On the women's side, top seed Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus battled to a 7-6(4), 6-4 win over Marie Bouzkova of the Czech Republic. But returning runner-up Jasmine Paolini of Italy, joined a mass exodus of high-seeded players, after crashing out against Kamilla Rakhimova of Russia 4-6, 6-4, 6-4.
