Carlos Alcaraz has delivered a commanding performance at the 2025 Queen’s Club Championships, showcasing his evolution into a clay-and-grass-season juggernaut. His emphatic 7-5, 6-7(5), 6-2 victory over Czech rising star Jiri Lehecka in the final not only secured his second Queen’s title (first in 2023) but also sent a bold message ahead of Wimbledon.
Formidable Form: Road to Triumph
Unbeaten streak: The win in London extended Alcaraz’s unbeaten run to 18 consecutive matches—an extraordinary streak fueled by titles in Monte Carlo, Rome, and the French Open earlier this season.
Key victories: His journey included a tense three-hour, 26-minute win over Jaume Munar—the longest Queen’s match in 34 years—and a clinical semifinal against Roberto Bautista Agut, marking his 250th tour-level match win.
The Final Showdown
First set by a hair: Alcaraz seized control in the opener at 5-5, breaking Lehecka and closing out 7-5
Lehecka equals the fight: The Czech responded in a tense tiebreak, forcing a deciding set after edging Alcaraz 7-6(5)
Decider dominated: Unshaken, Alcaraz surged to a 4-1 lead early in the third and sealed victory 6-2—breaking Lehecka twice to close out the match
He hit 18 aces and remained unbeaten on serve, never facing a single break point across the final
Season Recap & Implications
This marks Alcaraz’s fifth title of 2025—joining Rotterdam, Monte Carlo, Rome, and Roland Garros—with a near-perfect 27–1 record since April (his lone loss coming at Barcelona). The title signals he remains the man to beat on all surfaces, especially grass as Wimbledon looms.
As the second seed behind Jannik Sinner at Wimbledon, his form and fitness make him the overwhelming favorite. Alcaraz’s on-court demeanor reflects both poise and hunger: “This is really special" — he said post-final — praising Lehecka's effort and emphasizing the tournament’s value to him.
