Carlos Alcaraz is eyeing a 17-match winning streak as he advances to the semifinals of the Queen’s Club Championships, where he will face fellow Spaniard Roberto Bautista Agut.

The 22-year-old top seed and 2023 Queen’s Club champion extended his streak to 16 matches by defeating Arthur Rinderknech 7-5, 6-4 in a match that tested his resilience against big serving.

"I still don’t know how I’m standing here. But I’m really happy I’ve given myself another chance in the quarter-final," Alcaraz said after a gruelling three-hour, 26-minute second-round match against Jaume Munar.

Despite making 53 unforced errors, Alcaraz produced 49 winners, showcasing his aggressive style and mental toughness on grass.

His career record on grass now stands at an impressive 27-3, reflecting his growing dominance on the surface.

Alcaraz’s victory over Rinderknech improved his Lexus ATP Head2Head record to 3-0 against the French player.

Currently, Alcaraz leads the PIF ATP Race To Turin by 1,940 points over second-placed Jannik Sinner, positioning him strongly for the ATP Year End No. 1 honor.

The upcoming semifinal against Bautista Agut promises a compelling showdown between two Spaniards, with Alcaraz aiming to extend his career-long winning streak to 17 matches.

This run highlights Alcaraz’s exceptional form and determination as he seeks to consolidate his status as one of the top players on the ATP Tour.
