Our 2023 ATP Queen’s Championships Predictions & Picks
Carlos Alcaraz has played a grand total of eight matches on grass since he turned pro. His best appearance came at last year’s Wimbledon where he reached the round of 16 and lost to Jannik Sinner.
Even with his limited experience on grass, Alcaraz is extremely adaptable and should not have any issues in adjusting to the demands and technicalities of grass court tennis.
Alcaraz admitted to feeling tensed prior to and during the match against Djokovic at the French Open. He succumbed to cramps and was easily defeated by the Serb. But he’s been pictured on the practice courts and is expected to be in London this week.
I’m intrigued to see how Taylor Fritz will do here. He’s got an explosive power game tailor-made for the slick lawns.
Fritz is due to play in the Stuttgart quarterfinals at the time of writing, and could arrive here with sufficient matches under his belt – look out on the American to challenge Alcaraz.
Five-time champion Andy Murray sacrificed the French Open and has put all his eggs in the grass-court basket.
So far the Briton has been rewarded, taking home the Surbiton Challenger and is also on course to make it back-to-back titles in Nottingham (due to play the quarterfinals at the time of writing). Murray’s pedigree on grass makes him an attractive pick in the outrights and grass doesn’t significantly hamper his physical shape here.
- Outright Winner Tip: Carlos Alcaraz
- Outright Winner Dark Horse Tip: Andy Murray
