2024 Rothesay Nottingham Open WTA Entry List featuring Ons Jabeur, Katie Boulter and Barbora Krejcikova
WTA
The stars of the WTA often only have a few events to prepare for the Wimbledon Championships, therefore it comes as no surprise that several will be participating at the 2024 Rothesay Nottingham Open. The British-based tournament is scheduled to run between June 10-26, 2024, and is one of the limited grass court events on tour.
A WTA 250 event, the Nottingham Open will feature several veterans and newcomers finalizing their preparation ahead of the only grass court Grand Slam of the season. It will feature a 32-woman singles field, as well as a 16-team doubles draw. It is a tournament ran by former British No.1 and now prominent commentator and pundit, Laura Robson. She has compiled the field for this year's tournament which has now been confirmed ahead of the mid-June start date.
Boulter to defend title, Jabeur leads the field
2023 champion Katie Boulter is hoping to lift the trophy for a second consecutive year, and the British star is sure to have the support of home fans. She is signed up for a multitude of tournaments during this year as her first season as the top British star. Tunisian star Ons Jabeur is the only top 10 player confirmed for the event thus far, and she will be joined by former Grand Slam champions Barbora Krejcikova and Sofia Kenin. Former World No.1 Karolina Pliskova is also scheduled to compete in Nottingham.
Originally an ATP only tournament, the grass court opener was discontinued in 2008. It was downgraded in 2011 to ATP Challenger which is its current status on the men's side with Andy Murray and Dan Evans among the leading lights who usually play the tournament. It returned to ATP 250 status in 2015 and 2016 before returning to Challenger status in 2017. Now it is solely held as a WTA 250 tournament and a Challenger event for the men as a precursor in the case of the WTA Tour for Wimbledon.
Ons Jabeur is among the favourites for Wimbledon and will kick start her campaign at the Nottingham Open.
Often hosting multiple top names in this case including Jabeur who are looking to head towards the grass court season. Especially the Tunisian who despite failing on two attempts prior will look to hoist the Wimbledon trophy aloft finally this summer. This is despite constant form woes and injury issues as of late.

Growing up in a household where soccer was king, my earliest memories are filled with chants from packed stadiums and the rhythm of a ball being passed across neighborhood streets. But somewhere along the way, the quiet elegance and raw emotion of tennis pulled me in. What began as a curiosity became a lifelong passion; not just for the sport itself, but for the stories it tells: of grit, of heartbreak, of improbable comebacks and human resilience.
As a tennis writer, I bring the observational lens of someone who didn’t grow up in the sport, but fell in love with it as an outsider; a perspective that lets me see both its technical beauty and its emotional depth. Over the years working with TennisUpToDate, I’ve had the privilege of reaching more than 3.5 million readers worldwide, with one of my features ranking among the site’s top three articles.
With a background in storytelling and a creative mind always searching for meaning beyond the scoreboard, I aim to craft narratives that go deeper than results and rankings. Whether it’s a rising star breaking through or a veteran fighting off Father Time, I try to capture the heartbeat behind the headlines.

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
