At this Stage
Tommy Paul's grass credentials were in order — a run to the Queen's Club final, then a 6-1 6-2 6-1 dismantling of Alexandre Müller — while Kwon Soon-woo's presence was its own story: a qualifier climbing back after a season spent ranked outside the top 500. The No. 21 seed kept the comeback tale to two rounds, winning 6-3 7-6(4) 6-2 for a third straight head-to-head win over the Korean and a first on grass after two on hard courts. Paul moves into a last-32 meeting with Hubert Hurkacz, the Queen's form travelling, so far, without a scratch.
