The ATP 500 event at London’s Queen’s Club might not have had the strongest field on paper this year, but it has certainly produced some great tennis all week and now some quite intriguing semifinal matchups with players with great track records on grass like the 2024 champion Tommy Paul and a former Halle champion in Ugo Humbert. It will certainly be a fantastic Saturday of tennis in London<\/a>.<\/p>\n

ATP Queen’s Club Semifinal Predictions<\/h2>\n

Brandon Nakashima vs Francisco Cerundolo<\/h4>\n

Head-to-head:<\/strong> Cerundolo 1-0 Nakashima<\/p>\n

Nakashima and Cerundolo are certainly two players most wouldn’t expect to see at this stage of the tournament–Nakashima becuase he had to get past Alex de Minaur<\/a> to get to this stage and Cerundolo because he doesn’t usually make deep runs on grass, despite having won Eastbourne in 2023. That said, both players have been playing at a very high level all week and are certain to be extremely motivated given this amazing opportunity to reach the final of an ATP 500 and maybe even win the title. On clay, you would give the edge to Cerundolo in this matchup, but on a faster surface it’s fair to give Nakashima the slight edge, even if it should be quite a close match either way.
\nPrediction:<\/strong> Nakashima in 3<\/p>\n

Tommy Paul vs Ugo Humbert<\/h4>\n

Head-to-head:<\/strong> Paul 3-0 Humbert<\/p>\n

Both players have won 500 events on grass before and shown the ability to play at a very high level on grass. That said, Humbert has been very far from his best level so far in 2026 and even this week he has been far from convincing, with Paul delivering far stronger performances so far. Judging by current form and the history of their matchup (which Paul has dominated), the American should be able to pull through here and have an excellent chance to win a second career title at Queen’s Club.
\nPrediction:<\/strong> Paul in 3<\/p>\n
