Emma Raducanu adds to schedule as she signs up for prestigious tournament
Emma Raducanu’s schedule for the 2026 season is continuing to take shape as she has signed up for the Queen’s Club Championships.
The LTA (Lawn Tennis Association) confirmed Raducanu‘s participation at the grass-court WTA 500 tournament, which will be staged from 8-14 June.
Amanda Anisimova, the world No 4 who was a runner-up at Wimbledon and the US Open last year, and world No 6 Jessica Pegula, are also set to compete.
In 2025, women’s tennis returned to the Queen’s Club after a 52-year absence, with the previous women’s event staged at the historic London venue in 1973.
Did Emma Raducanu play the 2025 Queen’s Club Championships?
Raducanu competed as wildcard at the the 2025 Queen’s Club Championships and reached the quarter-finals at the pre-Wimbledon tournament.
The Brit overcame Cristina Bucsa and Rebecca Sramkova in straight sets in the first two rounds before she fell 2-6, 4-6 to No 1 seed Zheng Qinwen in the last eight.
Prior to the event, Raducanu had revealed her expectations had been low due to a back spasm that had been troubling her.
“Of course I want to win this tournament, like every tournament, but especially when it’s at home,” Raducanu said in her pre-tournament press conference.
“But my expectations are pretty low, because I played points for the first time today, and I’ve had maybe two or three days on the grass courts, so it’s not been much.”
