From June 19th to 25th, the WTA 500 event in the Queen's Club will take place, known as the Cinch Championships.
The entry list for the tournament that is played in London is always star-studded and 2023 will be no different. Last year, Matteo Berrettini won the title in the Queen's Club and the Italian will want to defend his crown also this season.
But his title defence will be more challenging than ever. The new World No. 1, Carlos Alcaraz, is set to make a debut at the tournament. But he won't be the only youngster competing at the 2023 Cinch Championships.
Holger Rune played two ATP 1000 clay-court finals and he will want to take his form also to the grass courts. The young Dane doesn't want to be viewed as the 'bad boy', but he's certainly viewed as an incredible talent, and has another chance to prove it on the grass courts in London.
Also American players will want to prepare for the grass-court Grand Slam at Wimbledon. Taylor Fritz, Frances Tiafoe, Sebastian Korda, and Ben Shelton will all compete at the event in the Queen's Club.
The home crowd will be delighted to see Andy Murray among the participants too, as the Brit withdrew from the Roland Garros to focus on his grass-court preparation. Another interesting name is Milos Raonic, as the Canadian is coming back to the professional circuit after almost 2 years.
