Alcaraz Extends Winning Streak, Prepares For Third Consecutive Wimbledon

Carlos Alcaraz has secured his second Queen's Club title with a hard-fought win over Jiri Lehecka, extending his winning streak to 18 matches and sending a strong signal ahead of Wimbledon, where he aims for a third consecutive title. Alcaraz, currently world number two and seeded second at Wimbledon behind Jannik Sinner, adapted quickly to grass courts, winning his fourth grass-court title and joining Novak Djokovic as one of the most successful players on this surface. His team, including former Spanish champion Juan Carlos Ferrero, is preparing intensively for Wimbledon, with Ferrero set to join Alcaraz in London to refine his preparation. Meanwhile, the top French player, currently ranked 15th, will miss Wimbledon due to a back injury, with other French players stepping up to represent their country. Alcaraz’s recent form and resilience, notably his comeback victory at Roland Garros, have led experts like former Wimbledon champion Pat Cash to regard him as the clear favorite for Wimbledon 2025. The Wimbledon draw will be revealed on June 27, with potential high-profile matchups such as Alcaraz versus Djokovic anticipated in the later rounds.
