Alcaraz Claims Second Queen’s Club Title in Three-Set Victory

He arrives at Wimbledon on an 18-match winning run after capturing five titles on clay, hard-court and grass courts this season

Overview

  • Carlos Alcaraz defeated Jiri Lehecka 7-5, 6-7(5), 6-2 to secure his second Queen’s Club championship.
  • The win extended Alcaraz’s career-best streak to 18 consecutive match victories, the longest of his professional career.
  • Jiri Lehecka reached his first ATP grass-court final and became the first Czech finalist at Queen’s Club since Ivan Lendl in 1990.
  • Jack Draper withdrew from his semi-final match due to tonsillitis, and Casper Ruud has pulled out of Wimbledon because of a lingering knee injury.
  • Alcaraz will enter Wimbledon as the top seed and strong favourite to defend his title when the Championships begin on June 30.
