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.
