The 2024 Birmingham Classic is scheduled to run from June 17-23, 2024, and is used as a warm up for the Wimbledon Championships. Hosted in Birmingham, Great Britain, the tournament will see several talented superstars battle it out for one of the few grass court titles on tour.
A WTA 250 event, the Birmingham Open will feature a 32-woman singles field and a 16-team doubles draw. Defending champion Jelena Ostapenko will return as she hopes to repeat her impressive 2023 performance. The World No.10 upset top seed Barbora Krejcikova in a thrilling final at last year's edition.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing.
