Carlos Alcaraz ready to do 'great results' on grass after impressing again at Queen's ahead of Wimbledon tilt

Carlos Alcaraz says his expectations have changed after impressing again at Queen's ahead of his Wimbledon tilt. In ominous signs for the rest of the tour, Alcaraz appears to be finding his feet quickly on grass — his self-confessed weakest surface — as he now has two wins from two in West London this week after seeing off Jiri Lehecka. Ad Alcaraz had spoken in earlier media appearances about having low expectations on grass this term — given his lack of experience on the it — but talking after his victory on Thursday, the Spaniard seemed delighted with his quick progress.

I'm enjoying every single second here, and of course I will go into the next round with a lot of confidence and I will go for it. «Playing these kind of matches, the level that I played — I'm ok with that. »I feel really comfortable here on grass so I’m really happy getting experience on grass, getting hours.

Knowing that I have this level, I’m really happy about it." Alcaraz had revealed after his first-round win over Arthur Rinderknech that he was most concerned about his movement on grass, and said he had been taking inspiration from some illustrious performers on the lawn. That seems to be paying off with some stunning shots during his win over Lehecka. «I've always said that you have to move well on grass and from there everything else follows,» Alcaraz said.
