Francisco Cerúndolo became the first Argentine to win at Queen’s in 2026, beating Tommy Paul in the longest final in the tournament’s history.
Francisco Cerúndolo became the first Argentine to win at The Queen’s Club on Sunday 21 June 2026, closing a men’s HSBC Championships played in West Kensington from Monday 15 June.
The tournament is older than its home. The London Athletic Club staged the first edition at Stamford Bridge in 1881, and the event was named the Championship of London in 1885. It came to Queen’s in 1890 with singles for men and women, and the 2026 men’s event was its 123rd edition.
Queen’s is an ATP 500 tournament on grass, played in the short season between the French Open and Wimbledon. Its main court is the Andy Murray Arena, named for the man who won the singles here a record five times.
The British wild card Arthur Fery took Cerúndolo to three sets before losing. Tommy Paul, the 2024 champion, reached the final on a nine-match winning streak at the club.
Cerúndolo, the seventh seed, trailed Paul by a set and a break. He came back to win 6-7, 6-4, 6-3 in over three hours.
The restored women’s WTA 500 event ran the week before, and Donna Vekić beat Emma Raducanu in its final.
