Alex de Minaur, Jiri Lehecka and Tommy Paul are among the players who have learned their potential path to another HSBC Championships final at Queen’s Club in London.
The top-seeded Australian De Minaur opens his campaign against big-serving Gabriel Diallo at the grass-court ATP 500 event, it was revealed following Saturday’s official draw. De Minaur is seeded to meet fast-rising 19-year-old Rafael Jodar in the quarter-finals.
De Minaur reached the final in west London in 2023 and returns this year after a first-round loss against Lehecka in 2025. Last year's runner-up Lehecka, who starts against Kamil Majchrzak, reached his first ATP Masters 1000 final in Miami in March and is now at a career-high No. 12 in the PIF ATP Rankings.
#NextGenATP star Jodar is competing in his first tour-level event on grass following a breakout start to the 2026 season. The Spaniard, who was outside the world’s Top 600 this time last year, is now the World No. 23 and will begin his Queen’s Club debut against Ignacio Buse, who is also competing in his first ATP Tour event on grass.
Returning to Queen’s Club for the first time since he won the title in 2024, Paul begins his quest against Jaume Munar. The eighth-seeded American could meet Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in the quarter-finals and Lehecka in the semis.
Two-time champion Marin Cilic and 2021 finalist Cameron Norrie are also in the draw. Cilic, who triumphed in 2012 and 2018, faces lefty Ugo Humbert, who leads their Lexus ATP Head2Head series 1-0. British No. 1 Norrie takes on fourth seed Davidovich Fokina.
Three British wild cards have also learned their fate at their home ATP 500 event. Jack Pinnington Jones plays Denis Shapovalov, while Arthur Fery and Toby Samuel have been drawn against each other in the first round.
