Spanish tennis player Carlos Alcaraz captured his second Queen's Club championship on Sunday, defeating Jiri Lehecka 7-5, 6-7 5/7, 6-2 in a thrilling final that served as the perfect prelude to his Wimbledon title defence.
The world number two fired 33 winners and delivered 18 aces during the two-hour, 10-minute contest in west London, eventually breaking the Czech world number 30's stubborn resistance.
With this latest success, the 22-year-old Spaniard has now amassed five titles in 2025, having previously triumphed on clay in Monte Carlo, Rome, and at the French Open, as well as on hard courts in Rotterdam. His victory at Queen's also extends his unbeaten run to 18 matches-the longest winning streak of his career-since losing to Holger Rune in Barcelona in April.
Alcaraz joins Feliciano Lopez as only the second Spanish player to win the prestigious Queen's Club title twice, with Lopez having done so in 2017 and 2019.
Although raised on Spain's clay courts, Alcaraz has quickly become a dominant force on grass. His victory at Queen's in 2023 was a springboard for his first Wimbledon title weeks later, a crown he successfully defended last year. With an 11-1 career record at Queen's, he now heads into Wimbledon, starting June 30, seeking a third consecutive All England Club title.
