London, June 23 (UNI) Top seed Carlos Alcaraz defeated Czech hopeful Jiri Lehecka 7-5, 6-7(5), 6-2 to claim the title at the Queen's Club Championships on Sunday.
Alcaraz, who also won the grass-court ATP 500 event in 2023, admitted he didn't expect to lift the trophy this time, having only practiced on grass for two days after taking time off following his successful French Open title defense earlier this month.
The 22-year-old Spaniard was tested by Lehecka, dropping the second set, but gained the upper hand during key moments in the decider.
