Dimitrov has made an excellent start to the season so far by amassing 28 wins from 37 matches, including a title-winning run in the Brisbane International. He also secured runner-up finishes in the Open 13 Provence event in Marseille and the 2024 Miami Open, where he lost to Jannik Sinner in the finals.
The Bulgarian will enter London on the back of a quarterfinal exit in Paris. He defeated the likes of Fabian Marozsan, Zizou Bergs, and Hubert Hurkacz en route to the last eight, but couldn't make his mark against Jannik Sinner. The Italian outfoxed Dimitrov in straight sets, 6-2, 6-4, 7-6(3).
Adrian Mannarino, meanwhile, has made a decent start to the season with nine wins from 15 matches, including semifinal appearances in the United Cup and the Dallas Open. He also reached the fourth round of the Australian Open, where he lost to Novak Djokovic in three sets.
The Frenchman will enter London on the back of an early exit in Rosmalen at the Libema Open. He began his campaign with a solid win against Stefano Napolitano but fell to Gijs Brouwer in the second round. The Dutchman defeated Mannarino in one hour and 18 minutes, 6-3, 6-3.

Grigor Dimitrov vs Adrian Mannarino prediction
A tricky first-round encounter is on the cards between Grigor Dimitrov and Adrian Mannarino in the first round of the Queens Club Championships. Both players will be keen to find their best form on grass in London.
Dimitrov has been one of the stand-out performers on the men's tour this year. The Bulgarian has shown no signs of stopping since rediscovering his form in May last year. His versatile all-around game and incredible tactical awareness have caused problems for his opponents this year.
Mannarino, on the contrary, made a good start to the season but hasn't reached the second week of any event since February. He's already lost to Dimitrov in Indian Wells this year and will need to approach this encounter with a better strategy in place. The Frenchman is known for his resilient all-around game and accurate shot-making skills on the court.
Considering their record on grass and results on the main tour, Dimitrov will be the clear favorite to win this bout and continue his run at the Queens Club Championships.
Pick: Dimitrov to win in straight sets.
