Carlos Alcaraz is not just taking over the tennis world – he’s breaking it. He won his second consecutive Queen’s Club title a few days ago, beating Jiří Lehečka in a tightly contested final. That nail-biter of a final match on June 25 showed us all just how Alcaraz’s resilience is incredible. He came back from two sets down and won the championship 7-5, 6-7, 6-2. This victory further enhances his already strong resume. It makes him the man to beat for the duly awaited Wimbledon title.
Just last month Alcaraz — age 19! — pulled off one of the most amazing and memorable French Open victories ever. During last year’s historic final against Jannik Sinner, he set the record for the longest match ever contested at Roland Garros. Demonstrating his extraordinary skill, he managed to stage a comeback from two sets down, sealing the match in five intense sets.
Since his claiming of the French Open title, Alcaraz has been a force on the court, sporting a 27-1 win loss record so far. His only loss was to Holger Rune in the final of the Barcelona Open. He most recently won at Queen’s Club, winning his fifth title of 2025. This success brings a temporary close to this beautiful winning streak, his unprecedented streak to 18 matches!
Since 2023, Alcaraz owns an incredible 25-1 record on grass. As he readies to defend his Wimbledon title beginning June 30, he is head-and-shoulders above the competition as the overwhelming favorite. Allowing him to pivot deer in space, the young star has quickly become one of the tour’s most intimidating, dynamic players. In only three months, he has already claimed a staggering four championships.
Alcaraz expressed his mindset going into the tournament, stating, “I came here with no expectations at all.” He explained how his priority was having fun playing the game as he was adjusting to the new grass pitch. “I just came to play good tennis and try to get used to the grass as soon as possible,” he added.
The unexpected triumph at Queen’s Club firmly establishes Alcaraz as a five-time Grand Slam winner. It further highlights his promise to win consecutive Wimbledon titles following last year’s victory.
Fans of the iconic tournament are counting down the days to the start of Wimbledon. They’ll be tuned in to see whether Carlos Alcaraz can continue his brilliant run of form and claim another illustrious title for his growing CV.
