Carlos Alcaraz Wins Second Queen’s Club Title Extending 18-Match Streak

Carlos Alcaraz secured his second Queen's Club title with a hard-fought 7-5, 6-7 (5), 6-2 victory over Jiri Lehecka, extending his career-best winning streak to 18 matches and marking his fifth title of the 2025 season. The 22-year-old Spaniard, a two-time defending Wimbledon champion, demonstrated resilience and grass-court prowess as he prepared to defend his Wimbledon crown starting June 30, aiming to become the fifth man in the Open Era to win three consecutive singles titles there. Alcaraz’s recent run includes victories at the Italian Open, French Open, and now Queen’s, consolidating his position as the ATP Tour leader and a dominant force across multiple surfaces. Despite a momentary lapse with a double fault in the second set tiebreak, Alcaraz refocused and showcased improved consistency and an enhanced serve, highlighting his growing maturity on court. His opponent, Jiri Lehecka, who reached his first grass-court final and was the first Czech finalist at Queen’s since Ivan Lendl in 1990, pushed Alcaraz to a deciding set but ultimately could not overcome the top seed's experience and skill. Alcaraz’s triumph places him among the elite players with four or more grass-court titles and sends a strong message to his Wimbledon rivals about his readiness to defend his title.
