  Carlos Alcaraz Triumphs Over Jiri Lehecka to Claim Second Queen’s Club Title Ahead of Wimbledon 2025

LONDON – June 22, 2025 — Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz captured his second Queen’s Club Championship on Sunday, defeating Czech rising star Jiří Lehečka 7-5, 6-7(5), 6-2 in a hard-fought final that showcased both power and finesse on grass.

The win marks an important milestone for Alcaraz, who now eyes a rare treble — French Open, Queen’s, and Wimbledon titles in the same season — a feat last accomplished by Rafael Nadal in 2008. With Wimbledon starting June 30, the defending champion at SW19 is positioned strongly to repeat his Channel Slam.

Alcaraz’s performance at Queen’s was another reminder of his evolving prowess on grass, a surface where he once struggled. The Spaniard fired 18 aces throughout the final and consistently pressured Lehečka, especially in the deciding set where he broke early and maintained control to close out the match.

Lehečka didn’t go down without a fight. After dropping the first set, he raised his level in the second, capitalizing on Alcaraz's brief dip in accuracy during a tense tiebreak. At one point, Alcaraz even double-faulted when serving for a match point, allowing Lehečka to take the second set and force a decider.

But the third set belonged to Alcaraz. He regained command of his serve, returned with sharp forehands, and pulled Lehečka into uncomfortable positions with precise shot placement. A key break came early in the set after a clever switch from chipped forehands to a flat, deep backhand that Lehečka couldn’t handle.

The Czech, who had a strong tournament run with wins over top-15 players like Alex de Minaur and Jack Draper, showed flashes of brilliance — particularly with aggressive returning and net play — but couldn’t match Alcaraz’s consistency in the final set.

Despite the loss, Lehečka proved he’s a dangerous contender on faster surfaces. With a solid 19-8 record on grass and hard courts in 2025 — including a win over Alcaraz earlier this year in Doha — his stock continues to rise heading into Wimbledon.

As the grass-court Grand Slam looms, both Alcaraz and Lehečka will be names to watch. The Spaniard now heads to SW19 full of confidence, aiming to defend his title and further cement his legacy as one of the brightest stars in modern tennis.
