Queen’s Club draw could see Alcaraz face Draper early on

Carlos Alcaraz’s defence of the cinch Championships at Queen’s Club could see him face Britain’s Jack Draper in the second round.

The French Open champion, who won at Queen’s Club on the way to winning Wimbledon last season, begins his quest against Francisco Cerundolo of Argentina.

Draper faces another Argentine, Mariano Navone, as he aims to book a tie against the 21-year-old Spanish superstar, who is top seed in a draw that also includes Alex De Minaur, Grigor Dimitrov and Taylor Fritz among the top names for the tournament which takes place between June 17 and June 23.

Cameron Norrie starts his quest against Canadian veteran Milos Raonic, while Andy Murray has been given a wildcard and will face a qualifier in his first-round match.
