Tennis star Carlos Alcaraz is all set to defend his Queen's Club title, as he was recently spotted practising in the grass court arena. The young player overcame a difficult but feasible route to reach the Cinch's Club Championship final. Notably, the 2024 French Open winner could potentially make it to the Wimbledon finals following a strong run at Roland Garros. However, it seems that he may face more challenges than originally planned on his way to the Queen's Club Championships final during the warm-up match for Wimbledon.
Carlos Alcaraz has arrived in Queens.

The 21-year-old tennis star is under intense pressure to maintain his 2000 ranking points after winning his third Grand Slam title as he is prepared for the grass-court season. This challenging task acts as a reminder of the high expectations for Wimbledon since his performance is necessary to maintain his current standing.
Notably, every game at the French Open was a new test for him, from the first round to the potential title, but things are expected to get even harder for the next major event. The Spaniard will take on Francisco Cerundolo, who seems to be a formidable opponent known for his success on clay courts.
Probably this one is the moment that I’m really proud of myself: Carlos Alcaraz
“Probably this one is the moment that I’m really proud of myself, because of everything that I have done the last month just to be ready for this tournament with my team, a lot of talks with them. If I have to practice, if I can’t practice or discuss with them, has been really difficult for me, honestly,” Carlos Alcaraz said after Roland Garroswon.
"I consider myself a player who doesn’t need too many matches on my back just to get at 100%. I had a really good week here in Paris, practising with good players. I felt really good playing sets, moving and hitting my shots before the tournament began. Obviously, every match that I have played, I was getting better and better. I will do it for sure. It’s going to be in the left ankle. Wimbledon was the right one. Here is going to be the left one, I think so with the Eiffel Tower with the date of today," he added further.
