Nottingham Open WTA 2026: Results, Entry List, Draw, Prize Money, History
WTASunday, 21 June 2026 at 16:22
The 2026 Nottingham Open is due to take place between 15-21 June 2026 at the Nottingham Tennis Centre and is a key stop en route towards Wimbledon.
McCartney Kessler won the title last year and returns this time around albeit with an even more stacked field including Iva Jovic. The World No.19 is a bit of coup for the tournament given that she is bound to go higher in the WTA Rankings and is less likely to play these events going forward.
Leylah Fernandez, Marie Bouzkova, Jelena Ostapenko, Zheng Qinwen, Karolina Pliskova all lead the way too in very much a who's who of players who in reality for the most part are looking for a career rival at this point. It is the week after WTA Queen's and the same week as Berlin.

- In case you 'Americans' haven't heard: ESPN just screwed you out of Wimbledon coverage in the USA!! ESPN will offer ONE FREE MATCH PER DAY. If you want to see anything else "marketing" department mistake-makers think you will fork over $39.00 for a subscription to watch Wimbledon.

- Here's an idea! Media get your "journilism" credentials in order before attempting to actually be a Journalist. Then decide, 'Do I want to be a sensationalist love interest writer for people magazine'? Or, 'Do I want to be sensible and write about the actual sport and its athletes without making things worse for them for no good F-ing reason other than write filler'? This Serena bullshit, Iga's mental health intrusions, all of this crap is lowering the bar... even for this rag.mandoist27-06-2026

- Well said Ajila. Thank you for not being afraid to tell it like it is!! Hopefully your colleagues, their teams, and others will grow a set of real balls and FINALLY take WTA & ITIA to task for their varying degrees of treatment and mistakes. For all the good they do -- it only takes one poorly orchestrated in-house decision to ruin what little reputation they possess.mandoist24-06-2026
- That was extreme bullshit for Pliskova to say such senseless things! Perhaps an experience like Petra Kvitova went through, when an unkown person attacked her at home, might give Pliskova a bit of enlightenment before stating such ignorance? If ITIA wants to play cops-and-robbers they had better wear badges, ID's, and so. There's absolutely no need for intimidation; something I have witnessed at tourneys from a two of these people acting tough and gruff behind the scenes. Again, it's a systemic problem in every situation when these entities are accountable to no one but themselves.mandoist24-06-2026
- UPDATE: Note how the tennis commentators have apparently been afraid to take a stand on Vondrousova's unfair treatment. Nary a word at all. Players are reticent to speak out too strongly as well. Why? Because the WTA / ITIA Dictatorship will find a way to censure you... and, as we have witnessed, even send their bought-and-paid-for law firms after you.mandoist24-06-2026
- Wimbledon's "body count" is now at 16 Withdrawals. Plus their maltreatment of Vondrousova makes it 17 Total.mandoist23-06-2026
