Wimbledon is getting closer. After the French Open, after a week of 250 tournaments, there will be two ATP 500 events next week, the only two highest-level grass court tournaments outside of Wimbledon. Let's take a look at the latest draw for reigning Wimbledon champions Acre in the Queen's Cup.
After successfully defending the French Open, the Arca team made a statement: It is necessary to look at the physical condition before deciding whether to play in the Queen's Cup. However, the good news came recently that the Spaniard decided to attend the grass court tournament where he won the title for the first time in his career in order to defend his Wimbledon title. Last year, he was upset by Draper in the event, who was far less ranked and prestige than he is now, and now he is the first British brother and the world's top five, which can be described as a popular fried chicken.
Acre's quarter is also home to two Americans, Shelton and Opelka. With Sheldon in the top 10 in the world, Paul and Fritz are currently in the elite tier. At the same time, three American players are in the top 10 in the world, which is a grand occasion not seen in more than a decade. Acre will face compatriot Fokina in the first round, and the overall strength of the district is relatively weak, and Acre is expected to go straight to the semi-finals.
The quarters are led by Rune and Mensic. The Danes and Arnaldi met in the first round, while Mensik faced the former British No. 1 and Wimbledon semi-finalist Norrie. In the other two matchups, the old friends of Monfils and Dimitrov are interesting. The region is also home to another former Wimbledon semi-finalist, with Agut set to face Boggs in the first round.
The three-quarters are led by Fritz and De Minaur, two of the world's top 10 players who have achieved the best Wimbledon finish in their careers so far in the quarter-finals, and both are eager to go one step further, and Fritz was very promising last year but was beaten by Musetti, who was ranked lower at the time.
The last district is led by the local brother Draper, which is full of powerful people. The Briton faced former Rookie of the Year winner Brooksby in the first round, while Perrichard, who served well on grass, will face Brandon Nakashima in the first round. Another seeded player, Tiafoe, who reached the quarter-finals for the first time at the French Open, will face former homegrown first-man Evans, a wildcard, in the first round.
There are also two hot spots in this Queen's Cup. First, the women's event is back after 52 years, and the men's event will be held again after a week of the women's competition, and it will be a big test whether the grass can withstand it; Secondly, the tournament will be officially opened this year after the most successful British player in history, Murray.
How did the three British brothers perform? What kind of performance will Acre bring? Let's wait and see!(Source: Tennis Home Author: Luo Cheng Qiye)
