Alex De Minaur Set for Gabriel Diallo Open at Queen's Club

Alex de Minaur was set to open his Queen's Club campaign against Gabriel Diallo on day two of the men's event. The top seed was the next featured name on a schedule that had already delivered one completed comeback and one interrupted match in London.

Queen's Club Day Two

Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard and Corentin Moutet resumed after their match had been suspended the previous night because of bad lighting. When play continued, Moutet led 3-2 in the final set and went on to win 7-6 in the deciding set to reach the next round at Queen's Club.

That result kept the focus on a packed day-two order of play in the men's event, with TV coverage available in the UK only. Alongside de Minaur's first-round match, Britain's Cameron Norrie was scheduled to follow against Spain's Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, while 2025 runner-up Jiri Lehecka was set to close play against Kamil Majchrzak.

Mannarino Beats Mensik

Adrian Mannarino added another result to the day's ledger by beating Jakub Mensik after fighting back from a set down. Mannarino won the second set 7-6 after a tie-break and finished with 12 winners and 9 unforced errors.

The win came in Mannarino's 11th appearance at Queen's Club. For Mensik, it left the opener as one more early exit in a draw that had already shifted once with Moutet's comeback from the previous night into day two.

De Minaur Awaits Diallo

De Minaur's assignment against Diallo was the headline first-round match still to come from the day's schedule. As top seed, he entered a section of the draw that had already seen movement from Moutet's advance and Mannarino's three-set turnaround, with the focus now turning to whether the Australian would handle the pressure of opening at Queen's Club the same way those matches had handled theirs.
