Tennis: Alcaraz ends Tarvet’s Wimbledon adventure

# Tennis: Carlos Alcaraz spoiled Oliver Tarvet’s Wimbledon adventure as the defending champion moved into the third round with a 6-1, 6-4, 6-4 win over the British amateur on Wednesday. Second-seeded Alcaraz needed two hours and 17 minutes to subdue world number 733 Tarvet, who produced flashes of his emerging talent to delight the partisan crowd. Tarvet is just starting his tennis career, and as a student at the University of San Diego, the 21-year-old must maintain amateur status, which means he will have to give up most of his earnings.
