Six-time Grand Slam champion Carlos Alcaraz and 2025 women’s runner-up Amanda Anisimova will return to Queen’s next year.<\/p>\n
Spanish world number two Alcaraz has won two of the past three editions of the prestigious tournament.<\/p>\n
World number four Anisimova, meanwhile, enjoyed a breakthrough run on the grass courts as women’s tennis returned to Queen’s for the first time since 1973.<\/p>\n
Both Alcaraz and American Anisimova reached the Wimbledon singles finals this year, losing to Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek respectively.<\/p>\n
The women’s tournament takes place from 6-14 June, with the men’s held from 13-21 June.<\/p>\n
“Queen’s is a very special tournament for me and one I look forward to every year,” French Open and US Open champion Alcaraz said.<\/p>\n
“This year was incredible to come back and win the title for a second time in front of the amazing crowds in London – I couldn’t have asked for a better week.<\/p>\n
“Coming back as the defending champion is going to be a challenge against these top players, but I’m excited to go out there and fight to lift the trophy again.”<\/p>\n
