The 23-year-old American, ranked 32nd in the world, is blessed with a smooth baseline game and a clutch serve, coming into the match with an all-time 27-17 grass record. The 2025 edition saw him lose in the semis in Acapulco and Houston, having a 19-17 record. Nakashima saw his Queen's campaign continuing after going past Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard (6-7(10), 7-6(5), 6-4) and Daniel Evans (7-5, 7-6(4)) on June 18, 2025. Against Evans, he won 60.7% of his service games and 37.5% of the return games (9/24) in 2 hours. His 2025 grass stats show that he has a 3-1 record, winning 17/28 service games (60.7%) and converting 40% of break points (4/10). The quarterfinal defeat at Stuttgart against Zverev (5-7, 4-6) on June 13 was a testament to the resilience. Nakashima's serving 10 aces versus Mpetshi Perricard are a highlight, but those four double faults could backfire against Draper's return. No recent interviews were found, yet you know that Queen's run has all the ingredients of confidence.
🇬🇧 Jack Draper
The 23-year-old Briton, ranked No. 6, is a big-serving lefty with a 9-2 grass record for the last two years. He is 26-7 for the year 2025, having won the Masters title and reached the finals on both hard and clay. Draper had a very impressive start at Queen's by destroying Jenson Brooksby, 6-3, 6-1, and on June 18, 2025, Draper fought past Popyrin, 3-6, 6-2, 7-6(5) in 2hr 10min, firing 14 aces, winning 66 percent of first serve points against Popyrin. His grass stats for 2025 show that he is 1-0 coming into Queen's, with predictive models giving him a 66 percent win probability in the first set. A russet First Round of the French Open stung, but the 2024 Stuttgart title speaks of his grass dominance. Draper told Sky Sports after his match against Popyrin, "I'm stronger and more confident," with an aim to peak at Wimbledon. X praised his battle, with @britwatchsports noting, "Draper’s into the QF!" The 14-ace bag against Popyrin shows serving prowess but missed opportunities on the break points (2/6) might be a chink in the armor.
