The Queens Club Championships is the UK’s premier grass-court tennis event and the most important warm-up tournament for Wimbledon.

The tournament has a rich history and a distinctive atmosphere, with the intimate setting at Queens Club creating a unique spectator experience.

Queens holds a special place in British tennis. Many Wimbledon champions have used it as their springboard to success at the All England Club, and the tournament often provides the first clues about who is in form on grass. The event is men’s only, but the quality of the field means it regularly produces outstanding matches and serves as an ideal appetiser for the main event at Wimbledon.

Key Matches to Watch at Queens 2026
Jack Draper is the home hope and a player perfectly suited to grass-court tennis. The left-hander’s powerful serve and aggressive game translate well to the surface, and playing at Queens in front of a home crowd will bring the best out of him. A deep run from Draper would generate enormous excitement heading into Wimbledon.
Carlos Alcaraz, the two-time Wimbledon champion (2023, 2024), has used Queens as a grass-court springboard in recent years — but he withdrew from the 2026 event, and from Wimbledon, with a wrist injury and will not feature this year.
Novak Djokovic has won the Queens title in the past and may choose to include it in his grass-court schedule. The Serbian’s record on grass is exceptional, and his presence at Queens would significantly boost the quality of the draw and provide must-watch matches throughout the week.
The British contingent always adds extra interest at Queens. Beyond Draper, several British players typically receive wildcards into the main draw, and the tournament provides an opportunity for emerging talent to test themselves against top-level opposition on home soil. The crowd support for British players at Queens is among the most passionate in tennis.
