Alcaraz takes second title at Queen's
Carlos Alcaraz has won the Queen's tennis tournament in London for the second time. The 22-year-old Spaniard was too strong for the Czech Jiri Lehecka in the final in three sets on Sunday: 7-5 6-7 (5) 6-2. In 2023 Alcaraz won Queen's for the first time, last year he lost in the second round.
It was Alcaraz's first tournament since winning Roland Garros two weeks ago. At Wimbledon, the next Grand Slam tournament, he will defend his title starting next Monday.
Alcaraz has now won 18 matches in a row, the longest streak of his career. Lehecka did test the world number 2 quite a bit, as did Spaniard Jaume Munar earlier in the tournament. After Lehecka won the second set in the tiebreak, Alcaraz was back on track in time. Lehecka could have become the first Czech winner at Queen's since Ivan Lendl in 1990. The current world number 30 has won two tournaments so far, in Adelaide (2024) and Brisbane (2025).
Alcaraz recorded eighteen aces and 33 winners in the final.
