Carlos Alcaraz has learned his projected path to winning the title in his debut at the Queen's Club.

Alcaraz, seeded at No 1, will be kicking off his Queen's campaign against a qualifier.

In the Queen's round-of-16, Alcaraz is projected to meet fellow Spaniard Alejandro Davidovich Fokina.

The Queen's quarterfinal could feature some fireworks as Alcaraz could meet Matteo Berrettini, who captured back-to-back Queen's titles in 2021 and 2022. 

In the Queen's semifinal, Alcaraz is projected to meet No 5 seed Cameron Norrie. 

The projected Queen's final is projected to be between Alcaraz and second-seeded Holger Rune.

Alcaraz returns to action after an unfortunate end to his French Open run

Alcaraz last played at the French Open, where he suffered a four-set semifinal defeat to Novak Djokovic.

After the first two sets, Alcaraz and Djokovic were tied to one set apiece and there wasn't much separating them.

Then, Alcaraz started battling cramps early in the third set as Djokovic 12 of the last 13 games of the match to seal a 6-3 5-7 6-1 6-1.

Although Alcaraz was clearly limited after experiencing cramps, he refused to quit.

After the match, Djokovic comforted Alcaraz.

“I told him that he has got plenty of time and I am sure he is going to win Roland Garros multiple times in the future. I have no doubts about it. I mean, he’s an amazing player who just possesses so many qualities, so dynamic, so much power in his shots. He is a very complete player. And he has already won a Grand Slam. He is the youngest ever number one in the history of the game.So, there is lot to be excited about for him, for the future,” Djokovic said after the match.

Fortunately for Alcaraz, he is able to start his grass season in time. 

It remains to be seen how well can Alcaraz do in his Queen's debut.
