Spanish tennis phenom Carlos Alcaraz is one step closer to rewriting the record books after cruising into the Queen's Club final with a dominant 6-4, 6-4 win over compatriot Roberto Bautista Agut. The World No. 2’s victory sets up a Sunday clash with Czech underdog Jiri Lehecka – and a chance to become only the second Spaniard to win this prestigious Wimbledon warm-up event twice. 🏆
🔥 By the numbers: • 17-match winning streak (career best!) • 36 winners & 15 aces in semifinal • 5th consecutive final this season
Alcaraz, fresh off his Roland Garros triumph, showed why he’s tennis’ ultimate crowd-pleaser: 'I try to have fun and bring joy on the court – that’s when I play my best,' the 22-year-old told fans after executing his signature drop shots and laser-guided forehands. 🌟
Standing in his way? World No. 30 Jiri Lehecka, who stunned British hope Jack Draper in a three-set thriller. But with Alcaraz’s 2023 Queen’s-Wimbledon double still fresh in memory, all eyes are on whether he can channel that grass-court magic again. 🌱
Fun fact: If Alcaraz wins, he’ll join Feliciano Lopez as the only Spaniards with multiple Queen’s Club titles. Not bad for someone who once said grass made him feel 'like a baby deer learning to walk'! 🦌
