Carlos Alcaraz Arrives in London Ahead of Queen’s Club Championships
The world’s second-ranked tennis player, Carlos Alcaraz, touched down in London on Saturday evening, marking the beginning of his preparations for the upcoming HSBC Championships at Queen’s Club. According to a report by the ATP Tour, Alcaraz was in a relaxed mood as he stepped back onto the grass courts for the first time this year.
The 22-year-old Spaniard was seen laughing and joking with his team as he underwent a serving drill, nailing tubes of balls on the sun-kissed west London lawns. As reported by the ATP Tour, Alcaraz finished his session with a spot of tennis golf, showcasing his lighthearted side ahead of the tournament. "It was all smiles at The Queen’s Club on Saturday evening, as Carlos Alcaraz stepped back onto the grass ahead of his third appearance at the HSBC Championships," the ATP Tour reported.
Alcaraz’s arrival in London comes after a short holiday in Ibiza, where he celebrated his epic five-set win against World No. 1 Jannik Sinner in the Roland Garros final. The ATP Tour noted that the young Spaniard is looking to switch gears for the grass-court season, and his performance at Queen’s Club will be closely watched.

The ATP Tour reported that Alcaraz holds a 6-1 record at the ATP 500 event, having lifted the trophy on debut in 2023.
