French Open champ Alcaraz ready for Queen’s after Ibiza party

LONDON: Carlos Alcaraz will return to action at Queen´s Club next week after the world number two celebrated his epic French Open triumph by partying in Ibiza.

Alcaraz saved three match points and rallied from two sets down to beat Jannik Sinner in a fifth set tie-break in the sensational Roland Garros final on June 8. Having triumphed in one of the greatest finals in tennis history, the 22-year-old jetted off to Ibiza to soak up his second successive French Open crown.

As well as partying with friends, Alcaraz used the break as a welcome opportunity to recharge his batteries after a gruelling clay-court campaign that also included titles in Monte Carlo and Rome.

“It was fun, but honestly, I was there more mentally than physically. I had fun, just three nights, three days, and I think that was more than enough,” he told reporters at Queen´s on Sunday.

“The craziest thing was probably staying out really late. I danced a bit, but nothing more than what a normal person would do. I´m getting older, my body doesn´t keep up anymore!”
