World number two Carlos Alcaraz is in fine form ahead of Wimbledon, having captured the French Open and Queen’s Club titles.
The 22-year-old is attempting to do something that Pat Cash labelled as ‘almost impossible’ by winning the French Open and Wimbledon in the same year.
The rambunctious young player, known for his high-energy play and a forehand described as the best ever by Mats Wilander, came through a stunning five-setter against Jannik Sinner in the French Open final, before dismissing Jiri Lehecka to win Queen’s.
Former British tennis player Naomi Broady has revealed she spoke with the Spaniard at the Queen’s Club to discuss his physical condition ahead of Wimbledon.
Carlos Alcaraz told Naomi Broady that his recovery after the French Open has been ‘really easy’
Speaking on BBC Sounds’ Wimbledon podcast, commentator Naomi Broady – who reached number 76 in the world during her playing career – revealed a discussion with Carlos Alcaraz during the Queen’s Club Championship.
Alcaraz was surprised by his own recovery after the marathon French Open final, Broady said.
She said: “I actually spoke to him at Queen’s and asked had he recovered, how was he feeling, and how did he recover.
“He said it was surprisingly really easy.”
Broady, 35, provided some humour for her audience before detailing Alcaraz’s physical state in the days after the French Open final.
Broady added: “I thought oh to be in your early 20’s, how nice that must be! He said that the next day he felt pretty terrible and was obviously very tired but by the end of day two he said he felt pretty good again.
“So he had a couple of days off and was right back to the grass.”
Carlos Alcaraz has lost one match in his last five tournaments
Alcaraz has been showing tremendous form for much of this season, even when discounting his dominant French Open and Queen’s Club performances.
Remarkably, the Spaniard has only lost one match in his last five tournaments in 2025, only losing to Holger Rune in the final of the Barcelona Open in April.
| Tournament | Performance | Opponent in Final |
| Queen’s Club Championships | Champion | Jiri Lehecka |
| French Open | Champion | Jannik Sinner |
| Rome | Champion | Jannik Sinner |
| Barcelona | Finalist | Holger Rune |
| Monte-Carlo | Champion | Lorenzo Musetti |
Alcaraz will be looking to add another trophy to his 2025 collection when he suits up for Wimbledon during June and July.
The two-time defending champion is looking to achieve something only Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, Bjorn Borg and Pete Sampras have done: to win three consecutive Wimbledon Men’s Singles titles.
The Spaniard will find out his first-round opponent on June 27, when the Wimbledon draw is released.
