Tommy Paul Faces Zachary Svajda in Queen's Club Championships 2026

Tommy Paul will face Zachary Svajda in the first round of the Queen's Club Championships 2026 on June 15, 2026. Paul is the eighth seed in the tournament.

Paul has been consistent this year, with a 26-11 record and one title from three finals. He won the Queen's Club title in 2024 but couldn't defend it in 2025 due to an injury.

This will be the first meeting between Paul and Svajda, with the head-to-head currently standing at 0-0.

Paul kicked off the clay swing with a title in Houston, his maiden career title on clay. He advanced to the final of the Hamburg Open but lost to Ignacio Buse. Svajda made headlines with his fourth-round finish at the French Open, his best result at a Major so far.

Paul withdrew from the tournament in Stuttgart last week due to an injury, which may affect his performance against Svajda. Despite this, Paul is still the firm favorite to win the match.

Svajda is a novice on grass, with this being just his second tournament on grass at the ATP level. He previously lost in the first round of the Hall of Fame Open 2024 in Newport, his only main draw match on grass on the ATP Tour.

The match will be played on grass at the Queen's Club in London, UK, with a prize money of €2,583,330. The live telecast will be available on Tennis Channel in the USA, Sky Sports in the UK, and TSN+ in Canada.

Paul's experience and achievements on grass make him the favorite to win. However, if he's still recovering from his injury, Svajda may have a chance at an upset win.

The pick is for Paul to win in straight sets. Betting tips include the match having at least 18 games and Paul winning at least one set with a score of 6-2.
