Carlos Alcaraz won his first title on grass and regained the world number one ranking with an impressive victory over Alex de Minaur in the Queen’s Club final on Sunday. His 6-4 6-4 triumph means he moves above Novak Djokovic and will be the top men’s seed at Wimbledon, which starts on 3 July.

The 20 year-old Spaniard, who was playing only his third grass-court tournament, has won five titles this season. The US Open champion will now set his sights on a Queen’s-Wimbledon double.

However, he needed a final-set tie-break in his first round match to escape with a narrow victory against French qualifier Arthur Rinderknech, before surging to the title without losing a set for the rest of the week. I met him at the players’ entrance after that opening match, where he kindly signed my sketch.
