Boulter is one of the most experienced and successful British players on grass over recent years, having won back-to-back WTA titles in Nottingham in 2023 and 2024.<\/p>\n

Last year, she beat former Wimbledon quarter-finalist Ajla Tomljanovic in the opening round before losing out to this year\u2019s Roland Garros semi-finalist Diana Shnaider in three sets.<\/p>\n

Boulter\u2019s powerful, aggressive style is well-suited to the grass, and her career results both during the summer and in Billie Jean King Cup show that she thrives in front of the British crowd.<\/p>\n

British No.4 Jones reached her career-high ranking of world No.65 earlier this season and continues to go from strength to strength.<\/p>\n

In 2025, she won two WTA 125 titles, made the semi-final of the Sao Paolo Open and qualified for the US Open for the first time. Recently, she claimed her first career Grand Slam main draw victory at Roland Garros over former Nottingham and Birmingham champion Beatriz Haddad Maia.<\/p>\n

Dart has had some of her best results on grass over the years as a former quarter-finalist at Birmingham, Nottingham and Eastbourne, as well as a career-best third round at Wimbledon.<\/p>\n

The British star showed her quality earlier this year in helping Great Britain secure an upset win over Australia in the Billie Jean King Cup Qualifiers with victories in both singles and doubles.<\/p>\n

Former junior US Open champion Stojsavljevic has made a strong transition to the professional tours over the last year and has achieved standout results at the Lexus Wrexham Open, Billie Jean King Cup, and more.<\/p>\n

She recently claimed her first main draw grass court win at the Lexus Birmingham Open over former junior world No.1 Emerson Jones and has shown she has the game to compete with those at the very top.<\/p>\n
