Spanish star targets London grass courts following wrist problem
Carlos Alcaraz is preparing for his competitive schedule following an injury-plagued 2026 season. A tournament spokesperson announced on Thursday that the Spaniard has entered the 2027 Queen’s Club Championships, becoming the first confirmed competitor for the London grass-court event.
Alcaraz missed substantial playing time during the summer months after sustaining a wrist injury at the Barcelona Open in April. Among the tournaments he had to bypass was the ATP 500 competition at West Kensington, which is set to stage its men’s and women’s singles competitions between June 5 and June 20 next year.
Previous performances at the West Kensington tournament
Alcaraz first competed at Queen’s Club in 2023, dropping a single set across the entire tournament. He secured the trophy and recaptured the world number one ranking by defeating Arthur Rinderknech, Jiri Lehecka, Grigor Dimitrov, Sebastian Korda, and finally Alex de Minaur. Speaking after that victory, Alcaraz expressed how much the win meant to him, noting his satisfaction at proving his capability on grass.
His title defense in 2024 ended early. After winning an opening match against Francisco Cerundolo, Alcaraz was knocked out in the second round by Jack Draper in straight sets, 6-7, 3-6. He reflected on the setback at the time by acknowledging that such defeats remain an unavoidable reality in sports.
In 2025, Alcaraz bounced back to capture his second Queen’s Club crown. The Spaniard advanced past Adam Walton, Jaume Munar, Rinderknech, and Roberto Bautista Agut to reach the final on the Andy Murray Arena. There, he overcame Lehecka in a three-set battle, finishing 7-5, 6-7, 6-2 to lift the trophy again.
