It is one of the tournaments with the oldest history in tennis, and Matteo Berrettini won it twice in 2021 and 2022. The Roman would have been at Queen’s in this edition, but he will not show up because, due to the events in Stuttgart, his presence was “diverted” to Halle.
There will therefore be two Italians who will go to one of London’s historic clubs, with some of the most iconic views of the entire ATP circuit. In particular for Matteo Arnaldi there is the difficult challenge to the Frenchman Ugo Humbert, but above all a really difficult side in which there are Dimitrov, Mannarino (against), Korda and Tiafoe. All players who know what they’re doing on grass.
It got even worse Lorenzo Musetti, however coming from an excellent semi-final in Stuttgart. For him, in fact, there is the Australian Alex de Minaur, who is often the protagonist of at least fluctuating performances on the lawns. Also in this case, an area full of dangers, starting with the British Daniel Evans.
Carlos Alcaraz also returns to the field: the Spaniard defends both the Queen’s and Wimbledon titles: 1500 full points, which in fact puts his status as number 2 in the rankings dangerously in the balance. And the path isn’t easy either, given a potential second round with the British Jack Draper, which isn’t exactly one of the most advisable ones.
