By Chris Oddo | @TheFanChild | Saturday June 21, 2025 Carlos Alcaraz signed the camera “Grasscaraz” after his 6-4, 6-4 win over Roberto Bautista Agut, which puts him in the Queen’s final. In reality, it doesn’t matter which surface he’s on – grass, hard, clay... all Alcaraz does is win. The 22-year-old locked down his 250th career win on Saturday and became the third fastest to reach that win total in ATP history. Only Jimmy Connors and John McEnroe have reached that milestone faster.

By Chris Oddo | @TheFanChild | Friday June 20, 2025 Carlos Alcaraz has stepped into rarefied air with his latest win at Queen’s Club. The 22-year-old Spaniard has now won 27 of his first 30 matches on grass, and is the only former or current No.1 to have a winning percentage that high. Not even Roger Federer, John McEnroe, Novak Djokovic and Pete Sampras – players that have combined for 25 Wimbledon titles, can boast a winning percentage as high.

Good lil list to have. Sinner and Draper on the up on grass https://t.co/9sldK3iJSG
I'd encourage Coco Gauff to watch Maria use that forehand tomahawk slice so effectively. Something that Coco could lean on and even use as a weapon. She uses it already, but not like Maria.
Tatjana Maria befuddling opponents on grass. Joy to watch, and contemplate.
