Queen’s Club: Field Boosted By Draper Addition

British tennis player Jack Draper will be back at Queen’s Club as part of his preparations for Wimbledon this summer.

A shoulder injury sidelined Draper from last year’s Cinch Championships and the entire British grass-court season. The 22-year-old is now healthy and looking to make a strong return.

This year, he has climbed to a career-high ranking of 37th in the world.

Draper, Cameron Norrie, and Dan Evans will compete at Queen’s.

Also, Andy Murray aims to play in the tournament if he’s fully fit.

The Cinch Championships take place at the west London club from 15-23 June.

Former world number one Murray, a record five-time champion in the singles, ruptured ankle ligaments at the Miami Open recently and has not yet put a timeframe on his return.

The 36-year-old Scot has indicated he does not “plan to play much past summer” as he contemplates retirement.

The four Britons are on an entry list that also includes reigning Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz, plus fellow top-25 players Holger Rune, Alex de Minaur, Taylor Fritz, Ben Shelton and Frances Tiafoe.

Grand Slam champions Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski will lead the British interest in the men’s doubles, while wheelchair major winners Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid will compete in an exhibition match.
