London: Alcaraz, the reigning Wimbledon champion, dispatched Bautista Agut 6-4, 6-4 in just 90 minutes, extending his personal-best winning streak to 17 consecutive matches. With this victory, he secured a spot in the Queen’s final for the second consecutive year, as he eyes back-to-back titles on London’s grass courts.
The 21-year-old powerhouse fired 36 winners and 15 aces during the semi-final clash, underlining his growing dominance on grass ahead of Wimbledon. Alcaraz is chasing his fifth straight tournament win, having already claimed titles on clay in Monte Carlo, Barcelona, Rome, and Paris this season.
He will now face Czech player Jiri Lehecka, ranked 30th in the world, in Sunday’s final. Lehecka pulled off a surprise victory over British No. 1 Jack Draper in a thrilling three-set semi-final, 6-4, 4-6, 7-5.
