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.

Queen's Club Championships prize money 2025: How much is up for grabs at iconic tournament?
SOME of the world's best tennis stars are chasing Queen's Club Championship success ahead of Wimbledon - and the 2025 prize pot has been confirmed! Tommy Paul wrote his name in the history books last year when he beat Italian Lorenzo Musetti in straight sets to win the title. And the American superstar banked approximately €395,205 (£336k) for winning what was his third ATP tour crown of the season. However, there will certainly be a new champion by default this year as Paul was forced to withdraw due to a lower abdominal injury. This also means it presents the opportunity for someone else to receive a huge payday just days before Wimbledon. Queen's Club Championship prize money 2025 The overall prize pot has increased from last year's winnings, with the total standing at €2,522,220. Here is the full breakdown of this year's Queens Club Championships 2025. Singles Winner: €471,755 Finalist: €253,790 Semi-finalist: €135,255 Quarter-finalist: €69,100 Round of 16: €36,885 Round of 32: €19,670 Doubles (€ per team) Winner: €154,930 Finalist: €82,620 Semi-finalist: €41,800 Quarter-finalist: €20,910 Round of 16: €10,820 How to watch Queen's Club Championships 2025 The historic Queen's Club tournament will be broadcast for FREE on BBC TWO in the UK as long as you own a valid TV license. Fans can also stream the entire action on BBC iPlayer without paying a penny. Popular TV host Clare Balding will be the BBC's anchor presenter throughout the competition. What happened to Emma Raducanu at the Queen's Club Championships? Emma Raducanu broke a tennis rule as she was dumped out of Queen's. The Brit was beaten in straight sets by top seed Qinwen Zheng, who was booed on multiple occasions. The first came in the opening set after Zheng took a break to change her footwear. Raducanu decided to maintain her sharpness during the pause in play by practising a serve. In doing so she broke a rule, with players only allowed to practise serves before a match. BBC commentator Annabel Croft said: "I don't know if Raducanu is meant to hit a ball like that. "She's just practised a serve and normally you're not meant to do that!"

Andy Murray issues career update after Novak Djokovic split and makes 'diabolical' admission
Andy Murray issues career update after Novak Djokovic split and makes 'diabolical' admission The three-time Grand Slam winner has revealed what's next for him in retirement Murray says he is open to taking on another coaching role (Image:for LTA ) Sir Andy Murray has revealed that he is open to taking on another coaching role after parting ways with Novak Djokovic, but is not planning on making an immediate return to the world of professional tennis. The three-time Grand Slam winner joined forces with Djokovic in a stunning move in November and was by the Serbian star's side as he reached the Australian Open semi-finals earlier this year. However, last month it was confirmed that the two had decided to go their separate ways after just six months and four tournaments working together. Appearing at the Queen's Club Championship on the day that the centre court at the club was officially inaugurated as the Andy Murray Arena, the 38-year-old was quizzed on his split from Djokovic and whether he was open to pursuing new coaching roles, having been linked with British stars Emma Raducanu and Jack Draper. In an interview with BBC Sport, Murray said: "I would do it again at some stage. I don't think that will happen immediately. "I was not planning on going into coaching as soon as I finished playing but it was a pretty unique opportunity. It was a chance to learn from one of the best athletes of all time. "You also learn a lot about how to work with a team. As an individual athlete, you have a team of people around you, but you're the focal point whereas when you're coaching an individual, you're working with a physio, physical trainers, agents. Article continues below "You need to know how to get your message across to the player and find out what makes them tick. "That was the thing I learned and something I need to work on if I want to do it again in the future," he added, as he reflected on his stint as Djokovic's coach. "It was a brilliant opportunity for me. We got to spend some really nice moments away from the court. Results weren't as we wanted but we gave it a go. We'll see about coaching in the future but I don't think that will happen for a while." During his appearance at Queen's, Murray took to the court alongside former British number one Lauara Robson and two children for a ceremonial two-round rally, but admitted to the crowd that his tennis skills had already become a bit rusty in retriement. 'My tennis is diabolical nowadays," he joked. "So, apologies for what you're about to witness but I'll give it a go." Reflecting on his new life away from tennis, Murray later added: "I've obviously missed being out here. Article continues below "It's the first time, obviously, not being involved in a grass court season for a while, but I've got a new life now and I'm enjoying being away from the sport a little bit." It comes after the tennis legend revealed he has taken up a new role as a venture capitalist, becoming an an associate partner at Redrice Ventures in London. In his new job, Murray will head up a group of athlete advisors - the Redrice Sports Collective - to help find investment opportunities, particularly in the sports business.
