Alcaraz made his debut after defending his title at the 2025 French Open, making a good start to the Queen's grass-court tournament in London

After completing the second consecutive clay Grand Slam men's singles victory at the 2025 French Open, Alcaraz won the Queen's Lawn Tournament in London on the 17th local time. The Spanish top seed defeated Australia's "Lucky Carrier" Walton 6-4, 7-6 (7-4) to advance to the last 16 of singles.

'I realised I was going to play against Walton after the warm-up, he's played a few games and I think he's playing really well. In this ATP 500 level grass court tournament, Alcaraz was originally going to stage a "Spanish Civil War" with Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, but his compatriot temporarily withdrew due to illness and was replaced by Walton on the sidelines. Alcaraz, who won the title here in 2023, adjusted and adjusted, defusing two late points in the second set and then coming up to close the game in straight sets with seven straight sets, "which surprised me a little. I know it's going to be a bit of a struggle today, but I'm really happy to win, and it's even more fun to be back on grass, which is very special for me. ”

The 22-year-old Alcaraz is extremely popular, extending his 14-game winning streak since the Rome Masters and warming up for the Wimbledon title defence at the end of June. He will compete with compatriot Jaume Munar for a ticket to the last 8.
