In London, the Queen’s Club hosted a gripping ATP 500 clash on grass where Spanish star Carlos Alcaraz met Australia’s Alex de Minaur in a high-stakes final. Earlier, Alcaraz defeated American Sebastian Korda with a confident 6-3, 6-4 win, setting the stage for a compelling championship match.
Ranked second in the world, Alcaraz continued to adapt to the swift surface and the distinctive British atmosphere. With eyes on the upcoming Wimbledon championship, the Murcia native showed his skill on grass as he extended his campaign into the later rounds. He breezed past Korda in one hour and 23 minutes to secure his sixth final appearance of the year, underscoring his consistency across surfaces and events.
The Spaniard from El Palmar hardly faced resistance on the day, maintaining crisp serves and aggressive baseline play that kept his opponent on the back foot. He steadied his level, erased errors, and kept the tempo high, making it difficult for anyone to disrupt his rhythm as the match wore on. The focus then shifted to the title decider where De Minaur awaited, having earlier outlasted Denmark’s Holger Rune with a straight-set victory of 6-3, 7-6(2) to reach the final. The atmosphere was electric, with the audience anticipating a dramatic finale that would cap a week of fast-paced tennis on grass. The match was scheduled for Sunday at 14:30 local time, promising a showdown that would feature two players at the peak of their forms and hungry for more silverware in a season filled with important results. The result would also add another chapter to a season defined by resilience, tactical evolution, and the ever-present chase for major titles on the tour.
