How to watch Queen's Club Championship: Live stream HSBC tennis free from anywhere
The road to Wimbledon continues in the traditional way, as a selection of the world's best players head to London's historic Queen's Club to test their skills on the grass. The men's singles tournament has now reached the quarter-final stage, and we're explaining how to watch the Queen's Club Championship as the last eight vie to reach Sunday's final. With previous champions including Jimmy Connors, John McEnroe, Pete Sampras, and — with a record five titles — Sir Andy Murray, Queen's is the traditional but competitive appetizer for the two weeks at SW19. Carlos Alcaraz is seeded No. 1 and came into the tournament fresh off his French Open victory as the favorite to win his second title here, with hometown hero Jack Draper the man most likely to please UK tennis fans. You can see a full rundown of Friday's quarter-final matchups at the bottom of this article. While Alcaraz and Draper remain likely to clash in Sunday's final, plenty of other seeds have already perished. That includes first-round defeats for American trio Taylor Fritz, Ben Shelton, and Frances Tiafoe. And after 37-year-old Tatjana Maria shocked pundits with her win in the women's draw last week to become the first female Queen's champion in 52 years, it shows that anything can happen on these capricious grass courts. With Wimbledon starting on June 30, this is a chance to find out who is taking the best grass court form into 2025's third major.

Aaron Rodgers Omits Manifestation, Hits Right Notes in Steelers Debut
Aaron Rodgers Omits Manifestation, Hits Right Notes in Steelers Debut originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Two years ago during an interview that ran on ESPN just minutes before his debut with the New York Jets, Aaron Rodgers pontificated about his power of positive thinking. Advertisement "I believe in the power of manifestation, turning the desires of your heart into reality," he told interview and tennis legend John McEnroe. "First you've got to believe it. First we've got to believe we can go and make the run, and then once we start believing, and start playing the right way, then you see everyone else start believing. You won't be saying (bleep) like, 'What if it doesn't go right?' And then when everyone else in the city is believing, there's a never-ending, unstoppable wave of positivity and energy." Just four snaps into that game, Rodgers suffered a torn Achilles that ended his season and threw a wet blanket on his manifest destiny. Fast-forward to Tuesday at Pittsburgh Steelers' minicamp. There was Rodgers, digging deep again. Say what you want about the four-time MVP and future Hall of Famer, but there's no denying the dude takes himself very seriously. After making the Steelers twist in the wind for three months this offseason before signing a one-year contract last week to be their starter, the 41-year-old Rogers enlightened us all to a decision-making process in which football won out over retirement. Advertisement "I don't need it for my ego," he said. "I don't need it to keep playing. A lot of decisions that I've made over my career and life from strictly the ego, even if they turn out well, are always unfulfilling. But the decisions made from the soul are usually pretty fulfilling. This was a decision that was best for my soul." Other than getting a little sappy about his soul - at least he didn't invoke his manifestation, yet - Rodgers said all the right things about joining the Steelers. About his teammates. About his opportunity. About head coach Mike Tomlin. "There were conversations with other organizations, for sure," he said. "But again, the rapport that fell in between me and Mike made it to where, as I was going through my personal stuff, there wasn't any other option for me. It was here or not play. It starts with Mike Tomlin. I've been a fan of his for a long time. There's a few iconic franchises in the NFL. I played for one of 'em for 18 years. This is another one of those. There's something special about obviously this area. So many great quarterbacks are from Pittsburgh. I feel like Pittsburgh has been a part of my career from the beginning."
