Queen's Club Tennis Championships 2026 Today: Prize money, Wednesday order of play, schedule, odds, how to watch - as Alex de Minaur continues campaign
It’s the start of the last-16 games in the men’s singles today.
One of the oldest tennis tournaments in the world, the Queen's Club Championships can trace its history back to 1881 - when it was called the London Athletic Club Open Tournament and was held at Stamford Bridge.
It moved to its current location in 1890 and was known as the London Grass Court Championships, before taking the name of its venue in 1977.
In 1973 the women’s event was discontinued, but returned in 2024 - with home favourite Emma Raducanu enjoying a run to the final this year before being defeated by Croatia’s Donna Vekic.
It’s now the turn of the men to take to the court, although sadly defending champion Carlos Alcaraz has withdrawn due to a wrist injury - leaving .Alex de Minaur as the number one seed.
Honorary Scot Cameron Norrie sadly went out in the first round yesterday, although there is still British interest in the shape of Arthur Ferry who plays his second round game today,
He’s one of 16 players left in the men’s draw hoping to replicating the success of Andy Murray, who won a record five singles titles between 2009 and 2016.
Here’s everything you need to know about the tournament, which runs from June 15-21, today - Wednesday, June 17.
