The Spanish tennis ace won the Queen's title for the second time on Sunday (22.06.25) as he warmed up for Wimbledon in perfect fashion but revealed that he has been surprised by how well he has performed on the surface just weeks after his dramatic triumph on clay at the French Open.

Alcaraz - who defeated Czech Jiri Lehecka in three sets to win the final - said: "It’s really complicated, the switch from clay to grass in just few days, because that’s the time I had before the tournament began.

"Just two days of practising and then I had to compete here. So I came here with no expectations at all.

"I just came here with a goal to play two, three matches, try to feel great on grass moving, and, you know, give myself the feedback of what I have to improve, what I have to do better.

"So what I’m more proud about this week is the way that I have been improving every day. You know, since the first day until today, I think I’m a different player on grass. I just got used to it really quick."

Alcaraz enjoyed a brief holiday in Ibiza before heading to Queen's but won't be celebrating his latest win with a trip to the party island.

The five-time Grand Slam winner said: "I wish. I’m a player who needs days off, days to enjoy, days for myself to spend with my friends, with my family, just to turn off my mind. I need that, and the good thing is that I know that.

"The days in Ibiza helped me a lot, just to feel like I’m not a tennis player, just to enjoy life a little bit with my friends, have fun, enjoy those days, and then come back to the court with more energy, I mean, be more hungry to play again.

"So that was really helpful for me. I’m not going to say that I won the tournament because of Ibiza, but, after this tournament, I can’t go back home. I’m going to stay here in London, hopefully enjoy London a little bit.

"I’m going to have my days off to rest up, to enjoy, and then be back and preparing Wimbledon the best way possible."
