The Cinch Championships at The Queen’s Club for 2024 is here, so The Tennis Gazette looks into everything you need to know from how to watch, the prize money and more.
Tennis fans have flooded to west London to watch the stars of the sport in action ever since 1890. It is the oldest and most recognised tennis tournament in the world and today serves as an ATP500 event. Queen’s will welcome the WTA for the first time since 1973 come 2025.
Queen’s saw Carlos Alcaraz win the championship trophy in 2023 for the Spaniard’s first win on its grass courts. He also returns to the English capital 12 months on from beating Alex de Minaur as the No1 seed, on the back of the 21-year-old also winning the 2024 French Open.
So, with that in mind, The Tennis Gazette brings everything that you need to know about the 2024 Cinch Championships as the ATP Tour returns to The Queen’s Club once again in June.

How to watch the Cinch Championships at The Queen’s Club in the USA?
The Tennis Channel will be the home for all fans in the USA to watch the 2024 edition of the Cinch Championships at The Queen’s Club.
Predictions:
Our team of expert writers at The Tennis Gazette have predicted who they think will win the 2024 Cinch Championships and leave The Queen’s Club with the prize money this summer…
Callum Davies: “Despite Carlos Alcaraz standing out as the obvious favourite – having just added to his impressive list of Grand Slam titles and as the defending champion – Ben Shelton emerges as an alternative set to enjoy a quietly impressive grass-court season.
“The young American has a monstrous serve, which will translate well to the grass. And having secured just his second ATP title in Houston earlier this year, grass is the only surface left for Shelton to claim silverware on. Expect him to impress at Wimbledon, too, especially if he thrives as expected at Queen’s.”
Peter Lynch: “Stopped only by the brilliance of Carlos Alcaraz last year, Alex de Minaur should be confident of another strong showing this time around, and he may just go one better.
“The Australian’s big serve and groundstrokes make him a force to be reckoned with on grass, while his confidence should be high thanks to a record of 29-11 in 2024, which includes one title and a French Open quarter-final trip.”
