World number two Carlos Alcaraz triumphed over compatriot Jaume Munar in a thrilling match at Queen's Club Championships, winning 6-4 6-7(7) 7-5. The encounter lasted an exhausting three hours and 26 minutes, marked by Alcaraz's resilience as he fought back from a break down in the deciding set, stretching his winning run to 15 matches, the longest of his career. "It was a really tough battle that we had today," Alcaraz commented after an intense contest, which took place shortly after his victory at the French Open against Jannik Sinner, noting the extreme conditions during play, according to Channel News Asia, BBC, and Reuters.

Alcaraz exhibited his usual competitive spirit but faced unexpected challenges, particularly during the second set where he squandered two match points and ultimately lost in a tiebreaker.
