French Open Champion Alcaraz Returns to Queen's Club for Grass-Court Season

Carlos Alcaraz, fresh off his dramatic victory at the 2025 French Open where he saved three match points to defeat Jannik Sinner, has returned to the Queen's Club in London to begin his grass-court season in preparation for Wimbledon. After celebrating his second consecutive Roland Garros title with a brief holiday in Ibiza, Alcaraz emphasized the importance of mentally and physically recharging before the intense grass season. He is set to defend his Queen's Club title, having won the tournament in 2023 and lost early last year, with his first-round match scheduled against compatriot Alejandro Davidovich-Fokina. Despite the physical demands of transitioning from clay to grass, Alcaraz remains confident and committed to maintaining his peak form ahead of Wimbledon, where he has won the last two years. The Queen's Club tournament, which begins June 16, is a key Wimbledon warm-up event and features a strong field, though some top players like Tommy Paul and Lorenzo Musetti are absent due to injury. Meanwhile, Jannik Sinner, the reigning world number one and Alcaraz's recent French Open opponent, is starting his grass campaign at Halle, aiming to recover from his tough loss.
