Now entering its 132nd edition, the HSBC Championships at Queen’s Club offer players a final high-level test on grass before the spotlight shifts across town to Wimbledon. The event’s ATP 500 status and rich tradition make it a must-play for those eyeing deep summer runs.
Playing Conditions & Weather
- Grass Court Speed: Medium-fast with low bounce, rewarding players with aggressive, precise shots and quick reflexes.
- Weather Forecast:
- Daytime Highs: 24°C to 29°C (75°F to 85°F)
- Nighttime Lows: 14°C to 17°C (57°F to 63°F)
- Rainfall: Low to moderate chance of showers over the weekend; the main draw week (June 16–22) is expected to stay mostly dry with sunshine and occasional clouds.
- Court Conditions: Warm and dry conditions should speed up the courts as the week progresses, encouraging quicker rallies and more offensive play. Early qualifying rounds may see some minor dampness, but the lawns are expected to settle into classic Queen’s form.
Unusually warm weather for a London June means quicker courts, livelier bounces, and ideal preparation for Wimbledon — though players must still be wary of slick patches early on.

Players to Watch at ATP London 2025
🇬🇧Jack Draper ★★★★☆
The British No. 1 arrives in peak form and playing the best tennis of his career. With a strong connection to the Queen’s Club and a game tailor-made for grass, Draper is poised for a breakout showing. The crowd will be firmly in his corner, and he thrives in these conditions.
🇺🇸Taylor Fritz ★★★☆☆ A proven force on grass, Fritz is coming off a confidence-boosting run in Stuttgart. His powerful serve and flat groundstrokes suit the London lawns perfectly, and he’s showing signs of another deep week if he maintains this momentum.
🇪🇸Carlos Alcaraz ★★★☆☆ Despite being a former champion here, Alcaraz underwhelmed last year and enters this week straight off a post-Roland Garros vacation. He’s still shaking off the hangover from his French Open triumph, so expectations are tempered for now — even if his talent remains unquestioned.

Verdict
Jack Draper stands out as a strong pick this week. He’s been building serious momentum on grass and has the confidence, crowd support, and game style to go deep. A semifinal or better is well within reach.
Taylor Fritz is trending in the right direction after a solid showing in Stuttgart. His grass-court instincts are sharp, and he’s a reliable bet to win a few rounds at minimum — possibly more with the right draw.
Carlos Alcaraz might not hit full stride just yet. With limited prep and signs of a post-RG cooldown, backing him for the title carries risk. He’s still dangerous, of course, but others look better positioned this week.
