Alcaraz will play the final of the Queen's Club Championship against Alex de
Minaur, and he has the chance to reclaim the world No. 1.
The young
star has been showcasing his exceptional skills on grass. Alcaraz has displayed
an impressive level of tennis throughout the tournament, securing victories
against Arthur Rinderknech, Jiri Lehecka, Grigor Dimitrov, and Sebastian Korda.
"Right
now I feel like I'm playing for 10 years on grass, it's something crazy for
me," said Alcaraz, who is playing just his third tournament on the surface
and entered London with a 4-2 grass-court record. "I didn't expect to
adapt my movement, my game so fast on grass. I'm really happy with that,"
Alcaraz said.
Carlos
Alcaraz will compete in the final with the mission of reclaiming the world No.
1 ranking from Novak Djokovic. Since winning the 2022 US Open, Alcaraz has lost the
top spot three times to Djokovic and will aim to regain it once again in the
Queen's final against Australian player Alex de Minaur:
"It's
going to be a big challenge for me. His game is really good on grass," Alcaraz
claimed.
"He
serves so flat. He's going to be very dangerous here on grass,” he added.

Alcaraz has
reached his first final on grass and has the opportunity to win his 11th title,
which would be his fifth of 2023.
"I'm
playing great, I'm feeling great.”
"I'm
really happy to play here in Queen's. Since the first match, I feel the love
from the crowd. I would say that it's impossible to win these kind of matches
without them, without the energy they bring to me," Alcaraz concluded.
Alcaraz and
De Minaur will play this Sunday, June 25th, starting at 13:30 hrs on the Centre
Court at Queen's.
