Queen's Club Championship: Carlos Alcaraz reaches final to close in on reclaiming top ranking

Firstpost  

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 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. He’s going to be very dangerous.” Alcaraz and Korda played their first career semifinal on grass.
