The ATP Queen’s Club round of 16 features several intriguing grass-court matchups between experienced names and dangerous outsiders looking to continue their runs in London. Alex de Minaur arrives in strong form after another comfortable win on grass and now faces Denis Shapovalov, who survived a difficult three-set battle in his opener. Adrian Mannarino also continues to thrive on faster courts after upsetting Jakub Mensik in a marathon encounter. Still, British wildcard Arthur Fery enters full of confidence following a dominant straight-set performance. Meanwhile, Jenson Brooksby and Francisco Cerundolo meet for the first time in what could become one of the tightest and most unpredictable matches of the day.
ATP Queen’s Club 1/8-Finals
Brooksby – Cerundolo: 17.06.2026 17:00 CEST
H2H: first meeting
Jenson Brooksby has lost four of his last five matches. This week in London, Brooksby defeated Damm in the opening round in three sets.
Francisco Cerundolo has won three of his last five matches. This week at the Queens Club, Cerundolo defeated Kovacevic in three sets. Besides losing his serve once, the Argentine served well throughout the match.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Brooksby is the underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. He is a solid grass-court player. This will be a 50-50 match that could go either way.
That being said, Brooksby covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Jenson Brooksby +3.5 games handicap @1.80 @bet365
De Minaur – Shapovalov: 17.06.2026 14:00 CEST
H2H: 5-1
Alex de Minaur has won four of his last five matches. Last week in Hertogenbosch, de Minaur lost to Majchrzak in the final in three sets. Last season in London, the Australian lost to Lehecka in the opening round in straight sets. This week, de Minaur defeated Diallo in straight sets in the opening round.
Denis Shapovalov has lost four of his last five matches. This week at the Queens Club, Shapovalov defeated Pinnington Jones in three tight sets in the opening match.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, de Minaur is the favourite in this matchup, and we agree. Shapovalov struggled in the opening round against Pinnington Jones. De Minaur leads 5-1 in head-to-head meetings against Shapovalov and is in better form.
That being said, de Minaur winning in straight sets is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Alex de Minaur winning 2-0 @1.53 @bet365
Mannarino – Fery: 17.06.2026 15:30 CEST
H2H: first meeting
Adrian Mannarino has won four of his last five matches. Last week in Hertogenbosch, Mannarino lost to de Minaur in straight sets in the semifinals. This week in London, the Frenchman upset
Mensik in three tight sets after almost three hours of play.
Arthur Fery has won four of his last five matches. This week in London, the Brit defeated Samuel in straight sets. He lost only two games throughout the match. He has been granted a wild card.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, this will be a 50-50 matchup, but we disagree. Fery played out of this world and will be fully confident coming into this match. If he serves well, we expect him to win comfortably against Mannarino.
That being said, Fery winning is a value bet.
