Carlos Alcaraz has decided whether he will compete at the 2025 Queen's Club Championships after a demanding clay-court part of the season.
There weren't many busier players than Alcaraz in the past few weeks. The Spaniard started his clay-court part of the season in Monte Carlo, winning an ATP Masters 1000 title. He then reached the Barcelona Open final, but lost it, mostly due to being injured.
As a result, Alcaraz missed the Madrid Open, but he returned at the Italian Open in Rome, winning another ATP Masters 1000 title. He crowned the clay-court part of the season by winning his fifth Grand Slam title at Roland Garros.
After such a demanding few weeks, the 22-year-old understandably took a few days off, celebrating his Roland Garros triumph on a short vacation in Ibiza. But that vacation can't be too long, as the Wimbledon Championships start already on June 30th.
Alcaraz has a chance to appear on the tennis courts before that, and at the moment, it seems he will do that. The two-time Wimbledon champion should compete at the Queen's Club Championships from June 16th to June 22nd as planned.
His participation was previously doubtful after his coach, Juan Carlos Ferrero, stated that Alcaraz might skip the tournament. However, the latest update from Spanish journalist Manuel Sánchez, who works for the Spanish news agency EFE, suggests that Alcaraz has made up his mind and will travel to London to compete at the Queen's Club Championships.
"Carlos Alcaraz will begin his training tomorrow at Queen's. The Murcian will arrive in London this Saturday and intends to test himself directly on the grass."
This update will certainly delight the tournament organizers at the Queen's Club. Defending champion Tommy Paul, last year's finalist Lorenzo Musetti, and two-time champion Matteo Berrettini have all withdrawn from the tournament.
Losing the biggest star would certainly be costly for the tournament, but that worry is now a thing of the past. Or that will be once the Spanish player arrives in the British capital.
If Alcaraz indeed appears in London, he won't be the only Roland Garros finalist competing during the second week after the clay-court Grand Slam. In fact, all four singles finalists should compete during the upcoming weeks.
Jannik Sinner has already arrived in Halle, and Aryna Sabalenka has made her way to Berlin after taking some time away at Mykonos. Coco Gauff has yet to travel to Berlin, and the same applies to Alcaraz and London.
