Queen’s 2025: England’s Jack Draper to join Carlos Alcaraz in pre-Wimbledon tournament


British number one Jack Draper will join two-time Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz at Queen’s in 2025.

Draper, 22, won his first two ATP titles in 2024, while he also reached the semifinals of the US Open and achieved a career-high ranking of world No. 15.

World number three Alcaraz lifted the title at Queen’s Club on his tournament debut in 2023, but lost to Draper in the second round last year.

However, the 21-year-old Spaniard won the Wimbledon title on both occasions after playing at Queen’s.

Draper said: “Playing at Queen’s, in front of a British crowd – there’s nothing like this. I used to watch this tournament every summer as a kid and made my Tour debut here, so it holds a lot of special memories for me.

“This year has been great in so many ways – but next season I’m excited to build on this year’s success.”

The men’s tournament takes place June 16-22.

American Tommy Paul beat Italian Lorenzo Musetti in the final of last year’s event.

Alcaraz said: “Lifting the title two years ago gave me the confidence to go on and win Wimbledon for the first time, so competing there always means a lot.

“I loved playing in front of the fans in London and I hope I can have another successful summer in England.”

Queen’s will also host a women’s tournament in 2025 for the first time in more than 50 years.
