The 2025 HSBC Championships at Queen’s Club in London will be the 122nd installment of this prestigious ATP 500 tournament. It will be comprised of 32 players in the singles draw, with the star attraction set to be French Open champion Carlos Alcaraz.

The Spaniard is a major doubt to feature after a record-breaking final in Paris, and could potentially join Lorenzo Musetti and defending champion Tommy Paul in the list of absentees. In case that happens, British No. 1 Jack Draper will receive an unexpected bump in the seedings and will lead the field.

Taylor Fritz, Holger Rune, and Alex de Minaur will strengthen the Top 10 presence in the event. In addition to the confirmed entry list, three wild cards have been named as part of the main draw.

Three Players Receive ATP Queen’s Wild Cards

Former British No. 1 Cameron Norrie is the first wild card. Norrie reached his first final on grass in this tournament four years ago, losing to Matteo Berrettini. He’s had consistently good results on this surface, with a memorable semifinal run at Wimbledon and a quarterfinal run at Queen’s in subsequent years.

The second wild card has gone to Billy Harris. The 30-year-old is not far off from making the Top 100. He has already competed in two grass-court tournaments at Challenger level this month. Harris has a knack for raising his game on home soil, and it remains to be seen if he can repeat last year’s quarterfinal run.

The final wild card entrant is Dan Evans. The 35-year-old has endured a disjointed season with 16 losses. Evans picked up his first main draw win on grass in this week’s Libema Open. Having been ranked as high as No. 21 during his peak, Evans finds himself grappling to return to the Top 200. Although he has an accomplished grass-court resume, Evans has lost in the first round at Queen’s seven times.

Main draw action is scheduled to begin on Monday, June 16
