The 2021
Bad Homburg Open is a WTA 250 tournament that will be played outdoors on grass courts, hosted in Bad Homburg, Germany from June 20-26 2021.
Initially scheduled for a 2020 launch, the event was postponed due to the Covid pandemic. Therefore, the inaugural edition will take place this year as WTA athletes use it to prepare for the hallowed grounds of
Wimbledon.
Featuring a variety of stars, World No.3
Simona Halep recently announced she'll be making her return to tennis after missing
Roland Garros due to injury. Two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitová and Greek
Maria Sakkari have also confirmed their participation.
Hometown hero
Angelique Kerber is sure to garner some local support, as she hopes to replicate her 2018 grass court season that culminated with her winning the Wimbledon title. Below is the full entry list.
