Jordan Thompson achieved a significant victory at the Queen's Club, defeating 7th seed Holger Rune in a comeback match with scores of 4-6, 7-6(4), 6-3. This win marks Thompson's 11th top 20 victory and breaks his five-match losing streak. Rune, who was a 2023 Wimbledon quarterfinalist and 2023 semifinalist at Queen's Club, continues to struggle with consistency in 2024, leading to a drop in his ranking. Thompson's victory propels him to the second round, where he will face Andy Murray, who won his opening match against Alexei Popyrin 6-3, 3-6, 6-3.
