Top seed Carlos Alcaraz speaking on court:

"Good to be back here in London, back on the grass. I have to say thank you for the really warm welcome I've had in Wimbledon...sorry London! Sorry! In London! I feel at home I feel loved so thank you. First match on grass never easy to get used to the competition, get used to the grass.

"He has played a few matches already on grass so I think he's more experienced this year on grass. I'm really happy with the performance today, I feel great, a lot of things to improve and a lot of things to work on to feel more comfortable but in general I'm happy to get through.

"I had some days off and I made the most of it. To reset my mind a bit, to rest up. Then my mind is straight here. After the French Open it's just a week to switch to grass so I don't have too much time. I would've liked to have more time to relax after the French. I've had a few days back home and a few days to get back here."
