Tennis returns to Nottingham in 2021 with the WTA Nottingham Open running from June 6th till June 13th.
The event is returning after getting cancelled in 2020 due to the pandemic but a solid field of play especially considering it is happening in the 2nd week of the Roland Garros. When Roland Garros got pushed back by a week it created problems in the calendar with some events getting cancelled as well.
Nottingham is set to go ahead but the players participating will largely depend on how the Roland Garros turns out. As it stands the event will be headlined by Belinda Bencic and Johanna Konta. Several other notable players are set to play as well including Rybakina, Riske, Pegula, Vekic, Badosa and more.
The de facto defending champion is Caroline Garcia who won the event in 2019 when it was last played. She defeated Donna Vekic in the final. The event is a WTA 250 event and it will be the 13th edition of it. Check out the full entry list below, as of now.
