Madison Keys can become the first Queen of Queen's in over 50 years
Au revoir to the French Open and two breathtaking finals as a truly memorable clay court tennis season finished on the highest of highs. All attention now turns to Queen's, Nottingham, Eastbourne and Birmingham as play switches to grass in preparation for Wimbledon, which starts at the end of the month. Three princesses of British tennisare in action in the HSBC Championship at Barons Court in West London on Tuesday with Emma Raducanu, Katie Boulter and Heather Watson all in action as the WTA returns to Queen's for the first time in 52 years. It has almost been as long since the last British woman triumphed at the All England Championships with Virginia Wade delighting the Centre Court crowd with her victory over Betty Stove way back in 1977 when the nation was singing along to God Save The Queen in one form or another. It's a long shot for that long stretch to be ended this year with Raducanu's best efforts in SW17 being her fourth-round appearances last year and in 2021, just months before capturing the hearts of the nation with her sensational US Open victory. British No.1 Boulter battled her way to the third round in 2022 and 2023 and Watson, still gamely plugging away at 33, enjoyed her best showing at the third grand slam when she advanced to the last 16 three years ago. They will be the centre of attention when they make their Queen's debuts and will receive fervent and passionate backing from the home crowd with Raducanu 10/1 fourth favourite for the title with Betway while Boulter is 28/1 with William Hill and Sky Bet. Raducanu begins her campaign against 27-year-old Spaniard Cristina Bucsa and is 5/6 with bet365 to win in straight sets while Boulter is 13/10 with Betway to beat Australia's Ajla Tomljanovic in the same manner, even though the Croatian-born right-hander reached the Wimbledon quarter-finals in both 2021 and 2022. Watson, however, is likely to bow out after being drawn against Russia's Yulia Putintseva, who reached the fourth-round at Wimbledon last year and is 5/4 with bet365 to win in straight sets. More Trending Two-time Wimbledon quarter-finalist and reigning Australian Open champion Madison Keys will lift the trophy on Sunday at 4/1 with William Hill, Betfair, Paddy Power and Sky Bet although 2022 Wimbledon winner Elena Rybakina is a huge danger. Thomas Frank's appointment as the new Tottenham Hotspur manager appears to be a done deal and the Bees are already seeking his replacement. Justin Cochrane, Frank's lieutenant, is the 4/7 favourite with Bet Victor to land the job but he may follow his boss across London and Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna is 5/1 with the same firm to land the Brentford role following the Tractor Boys' relegation. • Jos Buttler has been in fine form with the bat and is 5/1 with Paddy Power, Sky Bet and Betfair to be England's top scorer when they chase a T20 clean sweep in the three-game series against the West Indies at Southampton.

The likely first Lions team for the opening match next week as 16 players missing
The likely first Lions team for the opening match next week as 16 players missing The Lions travel to Portugal this week for a training camp with 16 players missing Tomos Williams signs jerseys after joining up with the British and Irish Lions squad (Image: British and Irish Lions/Inpho ) The British and Irish Lions ramp up their preparations this week as they head to Portugal for a warm-weather training camp, but nearly half of Andy Farrell's squad are still preoccupied with the end of the club season. While Jac Morgan, Tomos Williams and a number of other Lions will be hitting tackle bags in Quinta do Lago, 16 of the 38-man squad will spend this week preparing for the finals of the BKT United Rugby Championship and Gallagher Premiership. There's a dozen still with Leinster. Ronan Kelleher, Dan Sheehan, Andrew Porter, Tadhg Furlong, Joe McCarthy, James Ryan, Jack Conan, Josh van der Flier, Jamison Gibson-Park, Garry Ringrose, Hugo Keenan and James Lowe will all join up with the Lions next week, although the likes of Furlong, van der Flier, Ringrose and Keenan are all carrying knocks. Bath duo Will Stuart and Finn Russell will be going up against Leicester's Ollie Chessum in the Gallagher Premiership final. And then there's also Scotland full-back Blair Kinghorn, set to join the tour late after Toulouse's Top 14 title bid - but also injured. Ahead of flying to Portugal on Tuesday, the Lions have already lost one player to injury. Article continues below Scotland and Glasgow prop Zander Fagerson has been ruled out of a second tour, with Ireland tighthead Finlay Bealham called up in his place amid growing concern over the position. Furlong hasn't played since the start of May in Leinster's Champions Cup semi-final defeat to Northampton, with the prop - who has started the last six Lions Tests - struggling with a calf injury. England prop Stuart will now be the strong favourite to start against the Wallabies, while his compatriot Asher Opoku-Fordjour travelling to Portugal as cover. Sign up to Inside Welsh rugby on Substack to get exclusive news stories and insight from behind the scenes in Welsh rugby. The same goes for England hooker Jamie George, who narrowly missed out on the squad but will cover Ireland duo Sheehan and Kelleher in Portugal. In terms of the team to face Argentina in Dublin on June 20, Farrell's first selection could well be decided by availability and injuries. Unless he wants a look at Marcus Smith in the position, Elliot Daly seems the likely bet at full-back. England's Tommy Freeman should start on one wing, but the other is dependent on injuries. Scotland's Duhan van der Merwe has been out injured since March, while Ireland's Mack Hansen has been sidelined since April. The latter was expected back around the middle of June, while van der Merwe was said to be ready for selection had Edinburgh reached the URC semi-final. Given the injuries, don't rule out James Lowe being involved six days after the URC final against the Bulls. In midfield, Farrell has Scotland duo Sione Tuipulotu and Huw Jones at his disposal, as well as Bundee Aki. Pairing Tuipulotu and Aki together could be tempting, although sticking with an established partnership makes sense in the first game of the tour. The same goes for the half-backs. With no Gibson-Park or Russell - seen as the likely first-choices at scrum-half and fly-half - leaning on Northampton and England duo Alex Mitchell and Fin Smith seems the obvious choice. Wales' Tomos Williams, having been crowned Premiership player of the season, will be pushing for a start - although an off-the-bench partnership with Marcus Smith could make for exciting viewing. In the pack, Ellis Genge and Pierre Schoeman are both available in Portugal so should share the load against Argentina. With Luke Cowan-Dickie the only hooker from the original squad at this week's training camp, he should start. The question is whether Farrell uses George on the bench or brings back one of the Leinster hookers to occupy that role. On the tighthead, new call-up Bealham should start. Again, it's whether Farrell gives Opoku-Fordjour a bench spot or welcomes back Stuart following Bath's final. You'd expect previous tourists Maro Itoje and Tadhg Beirne to start, especially as the former is the tour captain. Scotland lock Scott Cummings means there's little need to rush back Leinster second-rows McCarthy or Ryan. In the back-row, Conan and van der Flier's involvement with Leinster means all of Jac Morgan, Tom Curry, Ben Earl and Henry Pollock should get minutes against Argentina. Wales captain Morgan should start, with it likely a toss-up between Earl and Pollock for the No. 8 jersey. Possible Lions team v Argentina: Elliot Daly; Tommy Freeman, Huw Jones, Sione Tuipulotu, Duhan van der Merwe; Fin Smith, Alex Mitchell; Ellis Genge, Luke Cowan-Dickie, Finlay Bealham, Maro Itoje (c), Tadhg Beirne, Jac Morgan, Tom Curry, Ben Earl.

British and Irish Lions star out of tour as new call-ups announced
British and Irish Lions star out of tour as new call-ups announced Andy Farrell's squad met up in Dublin on Sunday night ahead of this week's training camp in Portugal Zander Fagerson ahead of Scotland's Six Nations clash with England (Image: Getty Images ) Scotland prop Zander Fagerson has been ruled out of the British and Irish Lions tour of Australia with a calf injury as Andy Farrell confirmed the 24-man group who will travel to Portugal this week for a training camp. Glasgow prop Fagerson had not played since April, with Ireland tighthead Finlay Bealham called up in his place. Farrell will also bring England hooker Jamie George and prop Asher Opoku-Fordjour to Quinta do Lago for the six-day camp as cover. Having met up in Dublin on Sunday, the Lions travel to Portugal on Tuesday without 16 of their 38-man squad. 12 of their squad - Ronan Kelleher, Dan Sheehan, Andrew Porter, Tadhg Furlong, Joe McCarthy, James Ryan, Jack Conan, Josh van der Flier, Jamison Gibson-Park, Garry Ringrose, Hugo Keenan and James Lowe - are currently preparing for the United Rugby Championship final with Leinster. Meanwhile, Bath duo Finn Russell and Will Stuart will face Leicester's Ollie Chessum in the Gallagher Premiership final next weekend. Scotland full-back Blair Kinghorn is also still involved with Toulouse's Top 14 campaign. Article continues below Saracens hooker George, who was understood to be close to making Farrell's initial squad, has previously toured with the Lions in 2017 and 2021. Sale tighthead prop Opoku-Fordjour made his England debut last November against Japan and can pack down on both sides of the scrum. Those involved in the Premiership and URC finals will join up with the squad in Ireland next week, ahead of the first match of the tour against Argentina in Dublin on June 20. Sign up to Inside Welsh rugby on Substack to get exclusive news stories and insight from behind the scenes in Welsh rugby. 'It's tough on Zander to miss out so close to the Tour, but now Finlay gets an opportunity to come in and add to the group," said Farrell. "This is unfortunately part and parcel of the game, so we always have to be prepared for that. 'But it's great to be finally at the stage where we can get onto the training ground and get to work with these players.
