CARLOS ALCARAZ reached the Wimbledon quarter-finals for the first time - then declared he was hungry for more.
Next he faces Holger Rune in the first last-eight match of the Open era between two men under the age of 21.
But while getting to the latter stages may be child's play, the spectre still haunting all the next generation is Novak Djokovic in the other half of the draw.
And by coming from a set down to beat Matteo Berrettini 3-6, 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 in 3hr 5min, the Spaniard has served notice that he may be ready for the challenge.
The world No.1 has always dreamed of winning this title, and even when you are still only 20, there is no time like the present. Alcaraz said: "I'm hungry for more. It's something I really wanted.
"I came in this year with that goal, get into the quarterfinal. Now I'm wanting more. I want to play the final here and maybe win it.
