Hopman Cup: Carlos Alcaraz beats David Goffin in first match since winning Wimbledon

Carlos Alcaraz won his first match since his victory at Wimbledon, beating David Goffin at the Hopman Cup in France.

The Spaniard beat 23-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic on Sunday to win the Wimbledon title.

The Hopman Cup is an international mixed-teams indoor tennis tournament.

The event made its return this week after a four-year absence, having been replaced by the short-lived ATP Cup men's team event.

Alcaraz did not have the smoothest transition back to clay on his debut in the event.

The 20-year-old dropped his serve twice to surrender the opening set to Goffin, but responded by levelling the match before he came from 0-4 down in the super tie-break to wrap up victory.
