Carlos Alcaraz added another trophy to his growing collection on Sunday, capturing his second title at the prestigious Queen’s Club Championships. In a hard-fought final against Jiri Lehecka, the 22-year-old Spaniard showcased his resilience and class, prevailing 7-5, 6-7(5), 6-2 after two hours and eight minutes of thrilling tennis.
Alcaraz, who first won the Queen’s Club title in 2023, has now lifted the trophy again in 2025, reaffirming his growing dominance on grass. His latest triumph marks his fifth title of the season and the 21st tour-level title of his young career. More impressively, the win also places him among elite company—becoming just the fifth active player to claim four or more titles on grass, joining Novak Djokovic (8), Matteo Berrettini (4), Taylor Fritz (4), and Nicolas Mahut (4).
The final was far from straightforward. Facing the powerful and determined Jiri Lehecka, who was contesting his first-ever grass-court final, Alcaraz had to dig deep to secure victory. The opening two sets were tightly contested, with both players producing high-quality tennis. Lehecka matched Alcaraz shot-for-shot for much of the match, using his aggressive baseline play and strong serve to stay in contention.
After edging the first set 7-5, Alcaraz found himself locked in a tense second-set tiebreak. With the crowd fully engaged, the Spaniard delivered the shot of the week—a breathtaking rally that saw him chase down a drop shot, retreat to the baseline, and then loft a perfect lob over Lehecka’s head to win the point. Despite the heroics, he narrowly lost the tiebreak 7-5, forcing a deciding third set.
But true to form, Alcaraz elevated his game when it mattered most. In the final set, he found another gear, breaking Lehecka’s resistance with a mix of finesse, power, and precision. The Czech, who had kept up admirably until that point, couldn’t maintain the same level of intensity, and Alcaraz seized full control to close out the match.
Speaking after the win, Alcaraz reflected on how meaningful this tournament is to him: “This tournament is really special to me,” he said. “I’m just happy to lift the trophy once again. I came without expectations, just to play good tennis and get used to the grass. I was lucky to have a lot of friends and family here that made me feel really comfortable on and off the court.”
The victory extends Alcaraz’s winning streak to 18 matches—the longest of his career—and adds momentum heading into Wimbledon, where he is the two-time defending champion. Since his early exit in Miami earlier this year, the Spaniard has been on a tear, posting a near-perfect 27-1 record and securing titles in Monte-Carlo, Rome, Roland Garros, and now Queen’s Club.
With this form, Alcaraz has widened the gap over Jannik Sinner in the PIF ATP Live Race To Turin, now leading by a significant 2,240 points. As he heads to SW19, all eyes will be on him to see if he can extend his dominance and make it three straight Wimbledon titles.
One thing is certain—Carlos Alcaraz has firmly established himself as a force to be reckoned with on every surface, and his grass-court prowess is no longer up for debate.
