After a grueling quarterfinal match, Carlos Alcaraz demonstrated his exceptional skill and resilience by defeating Arthur Rinderknech in straight sets, 7-5, 6-4, to secure his spot in the Queen's Club semifinals. This victory marks Alcaraz's 16th consecutive match win, a career-best streak that underscores his current form and determination.

Alcaraz, the reigning Wimbledon champion, faced a challenging match the previous day against fellow Spaniard Jaume Munar, which lasted over three hours in intense heat. Despite the physical toll, Alcaraz managed to pull through, showcasing his mental and physical toughness.

In contrast, his match against Rinderknech was far more straightforward. Alcaraz capitalized on both of his break points, maintaining control throughout the match. "I could be better physically. Honestly, I was thinking I was going to feel much worse than I did today," Alcaraz commented post-match. "I'm glad it was only one hour 20 minutes today."

Looking ahead, Alcaraz is set to face another Spaniard, Roberto Bautista Agut, in the semifinals. Bautista Agut secured his spot by defeating fourth seed Holger Rune in a thrilling three-set match, 7-6 (5), 6-7 (4), 6-2. This victory marks Bautista Agut's first win over Rune in their four encounters.

Meanwhile, Jack Draper of Britain continued his impressive run at Queen's, reaching the semifinals for the first time with a hard-fought victory over Brandon Nakashima, 6-4, 5-7, 6-4. Draper's performance not only keeps him in contention for the ATP 500 title but also ensures a top-four seeding at Wimbledon, where he will be a strong home favorite.

Draper, reflecting on his achievement, said, "I kept getting asked about that by the journalists but I've got to reach the semifinals first. But it is an incredible position. I was at Wimbledon last year ranked 40 so to go there as fourth seed is a testament to all the hard work my team has done, so very proud of that."

As the tournament progresses, all eyes will be on Alcaraz and Draper as they aim to continue their winning streaks and build momentum ahead of Wimbledon.
