Overview

  • Alcaraz begins his 2025 grass-court campaign at Queen’s Club this weekend, facing Alejandro Davidovich in his opening match.
  • The 22-year-old Spaniard secured his second straight French Open title by besting world No. 1 Jannik Sinner in a dramatic final.
  • Sitting at No. 2 in the ATP rankings, Alcaraz trails Sinner by 2,030 points and aims to narrow the gap with strong grass-court results.
  • A solid run at Queen’s will serve as his final tune-up before Wimbledon, where he seeks a third consecutive men’s singles title and would match Björn Borg’s consecutive Grand Slam doubles.
  • He has drawn acclaim from Rafa Nadal, Boris Becker and Andre Agassi, and uses pickle juice mid-match to prevent cramps.
