Emma Raducanu will make her Queen’s debut next week when she plays a qualifier having been placed in the opposite side of the draw to top seed Elena Rybakina. <\/p>\n

The Briton last played at the French Open where she was beaten in the first round by Solana Sierra of Argentina.<\/p>\n

She reunited with Andrew Richardson, who coached her to her landmark US Open win in 2021, earlier this year as she looks to get back to an aggressive, first-strike style on grass.<\/p>\n

Katie Boulter has also received a wildcard and will play eighth seed Leylah Fernandez in the first round with the potential to face world No 2 Rybakina in the third round.<\/p>\n

Two more top-10 players are also set to play Queen’s – world No 6 Amanda Anisimova and ninth-ranked Victoria Mboko.<\/p>\n

The 2025 women’s singles champion was German qualifier Tatjana Maria, who defeated four consecutive top-20 players in her last four rounds, while Asia Muhammad and Demi Schuurs took the women’s doubles title.<\/p>\n

Carlos Alcaraz took the men’s singles title, while British duo Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool took the doubles trophy.<\/p>\n

It is just the second time that the women’s HSBC Championships will be held after a 52-year hiatus from the WTA calendar, with the women’s first round starting on June 8 and the final on June 14.<\/p>\n

Queen’s helps to kick-start the grass-court season in west London, effectively up the road from Wimbledon which starts at the end of June.<\/p>\n
