This is just a second match on grass for Alcaraz after the physical and emotional toll of the Roland Garros final.

“My journey is probably a lot different to a lot of people,” admitted Hume. “I missed out on going across the water at 16 years of age. I didn’t get picked by a lot of clubs and was told I wasn’t ready, and things like that.” Hume said he “worked my socks off” to earn...
