Carlos Alcaraz says his expectation levels are changing on grass after reaching quarterfinals at Queen's

Hindustan Times  

So much for Carlos Alcaraz being a novice on the grass. Carlos Alcaraz strikes a forehand to Jiri Lehecka during their Men's singles round of 16 match on day four of the Championships at The Queen's Club The new big thing in men's tennis looked quite at home on the lush green surface at the Queen's Club Championships in beating Jiri Lehecka of the Czech Republic 6-2, 6-3 to reach the quarterfinals on Thursday. Indeed, these are his first professional games on grass outside the All England Club, where he'll head next month seeking his second Grand Slam title after the U.S. Open last year. Alcaraz said his expectation levels on grass “are going to change” given the way he dispatched Lehecka, who came in at a career-high ranking of No. Mistakes started to creep into both players' games in the second set — there were 41 unforced errors between them overall in the match — but Alcaraz's defense and coverage at the net impressed as he wrapped up victory in 1 hour, 25 minutes on his third match point when Lehecka hit a forehand long.
