What is the HSBC Championships?
The tournament at Queen's Club is one of the oldest on the tennis circuit. HSBC took over the mantle of title sponsor starting from this year, thus receiving the naming rights to the tournament.

The tournament was classified as an ATP 250 event from 1990 to 2014. It got upgraded to an ATP 500 status from 2015. Andy Murray holds the record for most titles here with five. The Center Court at the tournament was named after him in 2025 to honor his achievements.
