Carlos Alcaraz may have experienced a journey full of difficulties at the Queen's Club Championships, but in the end he still finishes with a remarkable milestone in his career.
The No. 1 Spanish seed has overcome the great challenge from compatriots Jaume Munar, winning with a score of 6-4, 6-7 (September 7), 7-5 to raise a series of consecutive victories to 15, the longest in his professional career. Alcaraz missed two match-point in the Tie-Break series, before coming back from the 2-4 lead in the decision set to close the match lasting 3 hours 23 minutes.
Just crowned in two major tournaments, ATP Masters 1000 Rome and Roland Garros, Alcaraz continues to conquer London audiences with fiery play, class handling phases on the net and a series of early Winner. However, he was caught up in the struggle in Set Ba, where the tactics shorten the score and avoid prolonging the ball that he applied thoroughly.
On the other side of the net, although only 4 victories at the ATP Tour level on the pitch, Munar still shows superior potential. The 59 world ranked player caused Alcaraz to strain himself in the decision set, when constantly pressing the field with high depth and accuracy, thereby winning 4 games to lead 4-2.
However, in the moment the sunset falls down and the opportunity seems to gradually close, Alcaraz once again showed the spirit of steel. This was something that helped him win Jannik Sinner in the final of Roland Garros two weeks ago.
With a sympathetic victory over Munar, Alcaraz has raised the performance on the pitch since the beginning of the 2023 season to 22-1, including the title launched at the Queen's Club last year and the Wimbledon championship in a row.
In the 9th time in the quarterfinals in the 2025 season, the most at the ATP Tour to the present, Alcaraz will face Arthur Rinderknech. This player has just defeated Reilly Opelka with a score of 7-5, 7-6 (3).
After a choking time, Carlos Alcaraz shared: “It was really a difficult battle. Jaume Munar was a very stubborn opponent, he made it clear how hard he defeated himself.
I am very proud of today's performance, even though this is my second match on the pitch this season. There are so many things happening, but I'm happy to be present in the quarterfinals. Both my physical and mental are extremely challenging. To be honest, I still do not understand what kind of overcome. I just know I'm very happy because there is another chance. ”
