Under the blazing heat of Wimbledon's fiercest opening day, Carlos Alcaraz emerged victorious against Fabio Fognini in an intense five-set showdown. The Spaniard, who is on an impressive 18-match winning streak, overcame sweltering conditions to secure his place in the next round.

Aryna Sabalenka, the women's top seed, had no such trouble as she easily dispatched Canadian qualifier Carson Branstine. However, the heat proved too much for some, with high-profile exits including Daniil Medvedev and Stefanos Tsitsipas affecting the men's draw.

Wimbledon's prestigious courts witnessed several dramatic encounters as the tournament kicked off. Alcaraz's win was among the highlights, with his charm and skill captivating spectators, including David Beckham.
