Alcaraz Extends 18-Match Grass Win Streak with Second Queen's Title

Carlos Alcaraz captured his second Queen's Club title by defeating Jiri Lehecka in a tightly contested three-set final, extending his winning streak to 18 matches ahead of Wimbledon. The 22-year-old Spaniard, who has won five titles in 2025 and boasts an 11-1 career record at Queen's, is the clear favorite to claim a third consecutive Wimbledon title, a feat not achieved since Roger Federer. Alcaraz credited his recent rest and time off with family and friends in Ibiza for helping recharge his energy and maintain his hunger for competition. Despite Lehecka's resilience and strong performance, especially in the second-set tiebreak, Alcaraz's powerful serve and aggressive play in the final set secured his victory. His dominance on grass surfaces has become evident, with successes transitioning from clay and hard courts, signaling his readiness to defend his Wimbledon crown starting June 30. Alcaraz's confident post-match remarks and consistent high-level play send a strong message to his rivals as he prepares for the upcoming Grand Slam challenge.
