Britain’s Tennis Star Jack Draper to Make Return at Queen’s Club Ahead of Wimbledon
Tennis fans in Britain can look forward to the return of rising star Jack Draper to the Queen’s Club this summer as part of his preparations for the prestigious Wimbledon Championships.
The 22-year-old Draper, currently ranked a career-high 37th in the world, missed last year’s Cinch Championships at Queen’s due to a shoulder injury that forced him to sit out the entire British grass-court season. This year, however, Draper is set to take the court at the west London club from June 15-23, alongside compatriots Cameron Norrie and Dan Evans.
Former World Number One Andy Murray Hopeful for Queen’s Club Participation
Meanwhile, former world number one and five-time Cinch Championships winner Andy Murray is hopeful of participating in the event if he is fully fit, having recently suffered an ankle injury at the Miami Open.
Live Broadcast of Cinch Championships
The Cinch Championships, a key warm-up tournament ahead of Wimbledon, will be broadcast live on BBC Two, BBC Red Button, and BBC iPlayer, providing tennis fans in the UK with the opportunity to catch the action.
Draper’s Significant Return and Star-Studded Field
Draper’s return to Queen’s Club will be particularly significant, as the young Tennis Serve specialist looks to build momentum heading into Wimbledon. The tournament is set to feature a star-studded field, with reigning Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz and other top-25 players such as Holger Rune, Alex de Minaur, Taylor Fritz, Ben Shelton, and Frances Tiafoe all confirmed to participate.
British Tennis Legends and Wheelchair Champions to Compete
In the doubles events, British Tennis Legends Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski will lead the home nation’s interest, while wheelchair champions Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid will compete in an exhibition match, showcasing the depth of British tennis talent.
As the tennis community gears up for the grass-court season, the return of Jack Draper and the other British stars to the Queen’s Club promises to be an exciting prelude to the eagerly anticipated Wimbledon Championships.
