THE PREDICTION
This should be a thrilling, fascinating Queen’s final between world number two Carlos Alcaraz, who can move up to world number one in time for Wimbledon with victory here, and number 18 Alex de Minaur who has probably been the best performer this week. 24-year-old De Minaur beat Holger Rune in straight sets on Saturday for one of his best results of the season and he has proven his credentials on grass this week with some stunning tennis, both efficient and exciting, en-route to his second ATP 500 final of the season. 20-year-old Alcaraz has been finding his feet on the surface all week, though, and the Spaniard’s straight-sets win over Sebastian Korda was a third in a row without dropping a set after his early scare in the first round against Arthur Rinderknech. If this match were only about their respective games’ suitability on grass we could confidently pick De Minaur to win through but Alcaraz has that elite mentality that will see him a contender at Wimbledon next month despite his clear deficiencies – for now – on the surface.
Alcaraz beat De Minaur in three tight sets at last season’s Barcelona Open to suggest that this could need a decider but backing the world number two to earn at least a set is the sensible pick to avoid siding with a winner. If forced, Alcaraz’ sheer will is why he is a top five player and the very talented De Minaur is yet to break the top 10.
