Amanda Anisimova -The American is back. After rising to No.4 in the WTA rankings following a an amazing 2025 season, which included a Qatar Open title and a run to the Queen's final, Anisimova returns determined to win.

Emma Raducanu - Britain's biggest tennis star will be playing in front of a home crowd.

Jessica Pegula - The world No.5 is one of three current WTA top-10 players confirmed for the event. Consistent, powerful, and dangerous on any surface.

She has a real chance to go far at Queens.

Iva Jovic -The 18-year-old American is one of the brightest rising stars in women's tennis. Currently ranked world No.20, she won her first WTA 125 title on grass at Ilkley, broke into the top 100, and reached the quarter-finals at the Australian Open - the youngest player to achieve that in Melbourne in 19 years.

Carlos Alcaraz - The world No.2 and six-time Grand Slam champion will be at Queen's for the fourth time, having won titles in 2023 and 2025. In 2025 he equalled Rafael Nadal and Feliciano Lopez for the most grass-court titles won by a Spanish player.

Jack Draper - The former world No.4 Brit will take to the court. The Queen's crowd will be behind him, hopefully he can pull off something special this year.

Lorenzo Musetti - The world No.9 Italian is another former Queen's finalist and has been amazing the past few years. Reaching semi-finals at both Wimbledon and Roland Garros, quarter-finals in Melbourne and New York, and winning the bronze medal at the 2024 Olympics. Definitely one to watch.

The HSBC Queens Championship

The HSBC Championships is far more than a warm-up event. Ten players have completed the Queen's and Wimbledon double, including Don Budge, John McEnroe, Pete Sampras, Rafael Nadal, and Carlos Alcaraz. Winning here sends a clear message ahead of the Wimbledon.

In 2025, Tatjana Maria beat Amanda Anisimova in the WTA final to become the first women's champion at The Queen's Club in 52 years - a genuinely historic moment. Now in only its second year back, the women's event is already shaping up to be one of the highlights of the grass-court season.
