Welcome to ATP Weekly, your roundup of the biggest stories from the grass-court swing as Wimbledon approaches. Frances Tiafoe claimed the biggest title of his career at the Halle Open, defeating fellow American Taylor Fritz 6-4, 6-4 in the final. Tiafoe produced a near-flawless performance, breaking early in both sets and protecting his serve throughout. He also became the first American champion in Halle since 1993, a significant milestone heading into Wimbledon. In London, Francisco Cerúndolo defeated Tommy Paul 6-7(4), 6-4, 6-3 to win the Queen's Club Championships. The Argentine battled through a marathon final lasting more than three hours, the longest championship match in the tournament's history. After dropping the opening set, Cerúndolo steadily wore down Paul and completed a memorable comeback to secure his first ATP 500 crown. The triumph makes Cerúndolo the first Argentine ever to win Queen's and further establishes him as a genuine threat on grass after previously winning Eastbourne in 2023. One of the most anticipated stories of the week is the return of British star Jack Draper. After months on the sidelines with injury problems, Draper is set to make his comeback at the Eastbourne Open. Draper has spoken positively about working with former Wimbledon champion Andy Murray, whose guidance has helped him through a difficult rehabilitation period. The Brit opens his campaign against Brandon Nakashima. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
