The esteemed Queen’s Club is anticipating an exhilarating lineup this summer as prominent British tennis players, including Andy Murray, Jack Draper, Cameron Norrie, and Dan Evans, are poised to grace the courts in preparation for Wimbledon.
This marks a particularly noteworthy event for Jack Draper, 22, who unfortunately missed out on last year’s Cinch Championships due to a shoulder injury, leading to his absence from the entire British grass-court season. Determined to make a comeback, Draper currently holds a career-high ranking of 37th in the world.
Accompanying Draper at the Queen’s Club are his compatriots Cameron Norrie and Dan Evans, with the potential participation of a completely fit Andy Murray keen on leaving his mark on the tournament.
Scheduled to take place from the 15th to the 23rd of June at the distinguished west London club, the Cinch Championships will be broadcasted live on BBC Two, BBC Red Button, and iPlayer.
However, the involvement of former world number one Andy Murray is not completely confirmed, given his ongoing recovery from a recent ankle injury sustained at the Miami Open. Nonetheless, he remains open to the prospect of competing in the tournament.
The roster for the tournament also includes formidable international opponents, such as reigning Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz, as well as top-25 players Holger Rune, Alex de Minaur, Taylor Fritz, Ben Shelton, and Frances Tiafoe.
In the men’s doubles, Grand Slam champions Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski will lead the British contingent, while wheelchair major winners Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid are scheduled to compete in an exhibition match, adding an additional layer of anticipation to the tournament.
The appearance of these top-tier players, both British and international, promises an action-packed and highly anticipated event that is guaranteed to captivate tennis enthusiasts and fans alike.
With the countdown to the Cinch Championships underway, all attention is focused on the Queen’s Club as it prepares to showcase a thrilling display of tennis prowess and sportsmanship in the build-up to the much-anticipated Wimbledon tournament.
