Carlos Alcaraz Reaches Final To Close In On Reclaiming Top Ranking

London
Carlos Alcaraz is starting to feel like a veteran on grass, despite playing in only the third tournament of his young career on the surface. The 20-year-old Spaniard reached his first ATP final on grass and moved one win away from reclaiming the top ranking by taking out Sebastian Korda 6-3, 6-4 at the Queen’s Club Championships on Saturday. Right now I feel like I’m playing for 10 years on grass, it’s something crazy for me, Alcaraz said. I didn’t expect to adapt my movement, my game so fast on grass. I’m really happy with that.
Since the first match, I feel the love from the crowd. I would say that it’s impossible to win these kinds of matches without them, without the energy they bring to me.
Alex de Minaur stands between Alcaraz and the trophy and No. 1 ranking. Alcaraz is wary of him. It’s going to be a big challenge for me. His game is really good on grass, Alcaraz said. He serves so flat. He’s going to be very dangerous.
