WATCH: Alcaraz Uncharacteristically Furious During Queen's Club Meltdown

Carlos Alcaraz is known worldwide for having an upbeat demeanor during matches, which made his outburst at the 2025 Queen's Club Championships surprising.

The two-time Roland Garros champion was a significant favorite to defeat his compatriot Jaume Munar. Despite being a solid competitor, Munar has never been past the second round of Wimbledon or any Grand Slam.

Alcaraz was on course for a straight-sets victory after winning a competitive opening set. Instead, the ATP world No. 2 lost an incredible 102-minute second set after Munar took it 9-7 on a tiebreak.

One of the most significant upsets of 2025 was close when Munar went up 4-2 in the deciding set. Alcaraz ultimately managed to raise his level enough to secure a 6-4, 6-7, 7-5 victory after an epic battle.

The degree to which Munar frustrated Alcaraz and got inside of his head was demonstrated by the 22-year-old raging after being broken to go 2-3 down. The rant was in Spanish, meaning Munar understood every word.

Alcaraz shouted and swore three times at his team during the sit-down. The Queen's Club Championships' civilized tone and culture might have been why he chose to swear in Spanish instead of English. It prevented most of the fans from knowing what he was saying.

Fans are used to seeing Alcaraz smile during matches, even on the most significant stages. His ability to do that makes the young star unique and is one of the reasons why fans worldwide love watching him play.

However, Alcaraz is prone to occasional outbursts. At the 2024 ATP Finals, the former world No. 1 slammed his racket down after losing the opening set to Alexander Zverev. He ultimately exited the tournament after falling in straight sets.

Alcaraz also repeatedly smashed his racket during the third set of a surprising defeat to Gael Monfils at the 2024 Cincinnati Open. The Spaniard was out of sorts throughout that contest before losing.

That incident with Monfils might have been influenced by Novak Djokovic's beating him in the Olympic gold medal match a few weeks earlier, which left him in tears afterward.

Alcaraz's first match since that defeat was against Monfils. He may not have fully gotten over his heartbreaking Olympic defeat, leading to his bad performance and racket smash in Cincinnati.

Jannik Sinner's words after falling in the 2025 Halle Open round of 16 to Alexander Bublik also showed the lasting impact of brutal setbacks. Less than two weeks ago, the Italian lost the 2025 Roland Garros final to Alcaraz despite having three championship points in the fourth set.

Sinner admitted after exiting in Halle that it was difficult for him to play again so soon after the toughest moment of his career. For that reason, the world No. 1 was pretty happy with winning two matches before resting for Wimbledon.

Alcaraz and Sinner will be among the men trying to win the title at Wimbledon. Novak Djokovic hopes to win an eighth title at SW19, which would equal Roger Federer's record.
