The ATP Queen’s Club Championship always features very strong fields and 2023 is no exception in that regard, with a mix of top ranked players and grass-court specialists, including returning veterans like and rising youngsters. Day two of the tournament is certain to bring a lot of excitement, with tight matches and high quality grass-court tennis. As always, we here at LWOT will be offering our predictions for every match on the schedule. But who will come out on top?<\/p>\n
Head-to-head:<\/strong> Thompson 1-1 Raonic<\/p>\n Jordan Thompson won when the pair met last week, winning a tight first-set tiebreaker and then running away with the second. However, it was Milos Raonic’s first tournament back from a very long layoff and he’s bound to be better this week. Besides, Thompson is likely to feel a bit tired, both physically and mentally, after making the final last week and coming so close to a first career title. This time around, the Canadian should be able to come through and take another step in his comeback path.<\/p>\n Prediction: Raonic in 2<\/em><\/p>\n [cta id=445 type=cta]<\/p>\n Head-to-head:<\/strong> Dimitrov 1-0 Ruusuvuori<\/p>\n Grigor Dimitrov won with relative ease when the pair faced off at Roland Garros a couple of weeks ago, but this time things should be a bit closer. Emil Ruusuvuori played well last week on grass, scoring a fantastic over over the hard-hitting world #9 Jannik Sinner, but Dimitrov is also very comfortable on grass himself. The Bulgarian is a former- champion at the ATP Queen’s Club Championships (he lifted the title in 2014) and should have enough grass-court nous to prevail here.<\/p>\n Prediction: Dimitrov in 2Grigor Dimitrov vs Emil Ruusuvuori<\/h4>\n
