2021 bett1 Open Entry List with Barty, Osaka, Sabalenka

The 2021 bett1 Open running from June 14th till June 20th is a WTA 500 event played on grass and headlined by Barty and Osaka.

The event returns in 2021 after being cancelled in 2020 due to the pandemic and it will feature a stellar lineup headlined by Barty and Osaka. The event will be its 94th edition and the first one since 2008 when it was last held. Last year was supposed the first edition of the event and the first time it was played on grass but that will happen this year.

The event was usually played on clay but as a grass event, it has attracted a much stronger field than usual. The event will be headlined by Barty who will be joined by some of the best in the world such as Osaka, Kenin, Sabalenka, Andreescu and Swiatek.

It s a premier event from the WTA 500 series and has no defending champion after returning from a decade long absence. The last time it was played is in 2008 when the winner was Dinara Safina. Check out the full entry list below.
