Carlos Alcaraz sets up Queen's final against De Minaur and closes in on No 1 ranking

Carlos Alcaraz inched closer to winning his first grass court title and reclaiming the world number one ranking from Novak Djokovic after easing past Sebastian Korda 6-3, 6-4 to reach the final at Queen's Club on Saturday.

The Spaniard will face Australia's Alex de Minaur, who beat second seed Holger Rune 6-3, 7-6 (7/2), in Sunday's title match.

Playing in just his third grass court tournament of his career, Alcaraz adapted quickly to the conditions after a tough first round match against Frenchman Arthur Rinderknech.

The US Open champion had to recover from a slow start as he was broken for the only time in the opening game.

But Korda committed a number of double faults at key moments as Alcaraz broke back and edged a tight first set after breaking again in the eighth game.

What a way to do it!
