Carlos Alcaraz is the 2025 Queen’s champion, after defeating Jiri Lehecka over three sets in a thrilling final in West London.
Alcaraz won 7-6, 6-7, 6-2, securing the 21st title of his career, and his fifth of this season already.
The Spaniard is now on an 18-match winning streak heading into Wimbledon, having sealed 12 consecutive wins on grass.
Following his victory over Lehecka, Alcaraz spoke on the upcoming championships, where he is in pursuit of a three-peat.
What Carlos Alcaraz has already told his family about Wimbledon
After the match, Alcaraz said of his title defence in July: “Wimbledon is really special. I think every player feels how special Wimbledon is.
“I am super excited. I am excited. I have talked with my team and my family, that I am super excited to play the first match on Centre Court once again. It is going to be a really beautiful moment.
“This tournament and lifting this trophy is the best preparation I could ask for, and I will try to keep the good work on this week just to keep the good feeling and starting the tournament and Wimbledon the best way possible.
“Two weeks could be pretty long but I will try to start the tournament in a good way and let’s see how far that will be.”
Carlos Alcaraz’s chance of making history at Wimbledon this year
Should Alcaraz emerge victorious again at Wimbledon this year, he will have completed the three-peat.
He has won back-to-back titles at the All England Club in 2023 and 2024, defeating Novak Djokovic in the final both times.
Now, the five-time Grand Slam champion has the chance to become the fifth man in the Open Era to win three Wimbledon titles in a row, and the first Spaniard in tennis history to do so.
The other players to have completed the feat since 1968 are Bjorn Borg, Pete Sampras, Roger Federer, and Djokovic.
