Bianca Andreescu Gets Through Wimbledon Qualifying as Americans and Three-Set Survivors Stand Out
Wimbledon qualifying is never just a list of names moving from one draw to another. It is three days of survival tennis, nervous scorelines, bruised legs, ranking pressure, second chances and players trying to arrive at the main draw with enough rhythm, but not too much damage. This year’s women’s qualifying event had all of…

Tatjana Maria Is Turning Grass Into a Different Sport Again
Tatjana Maria does not play grass-court tennis like she is trying to join the modern argument. She plays as if she has left the argument altogether. That is why this run deserves more than a routine Eastbourne match report. At 38, with a one-handed backhand, a game full of slices, changes of height, soft hands…

Elina Svitolina Withdraws From Bad Homburg as Draw Opens After Swiatek and Andreeva Exits
Bad Homburg did not so much lose its shape as watch it disappear in one afternoon. Iga Swiatek was gone. Mirra Andreeva was gone. Then Elina Svitolina, the No. 3 seed and one of the most reliable names left in the draw, pulled out before her quarter-final against Wang Xinyu because of a right hip…

Emma Navarro Leaves Swiatek Searching as Bad Homburg Draw Opens Up
Emma Navarro had already proved she could win titles this season. What she needed on grass was something different. A win that travelled. A result that did not just sit neatly inside a good week, but changed how her game looked on a surface where timing, first-strike nerve and balance under pressure decide so much.…

Wimbledon Must Do Better After Ladies’ Qualifying Information Goes Missing
A Grand Slam Should Not Leave Fans Searching for the Women’s Draw For a tournament that prides itself on tradition, precision and polished presentation, Wimbledon’s handling of its 2026 ladies’ qualifying information has been surprisingly poor. Qualifying is not a side note. It is where careers shift, dreams open and main-draw places are earned the…

Marie Bouzkova Beats Emma Navarro in Nottingham to Claim Her First Grass Title
Marie Bouzkova had already built the week. In the final, she finished the argument. The Czech arrived at the Nottingham Open as the fourth seed, ranked just behind Emma Navarro, and moved through the draw with the kind of controlled grass-court tennis that rarely shouts but often suffocates. Tereza Valentova, Hannah Klugman, Tatjana Maria and…

Linda Noskova Stops Alexandra Eala’s Berlin Surge and Reaches First Grass Final
Alexandra Eala had made Berlin feel like her breakout stage. She had beaten Donna Vekic. She had beaten Elena Rybakina. She had turned a strong grass month into something bigger, sharper and far more visible. By the time she walked into the Berlin Tennis Open semi-final, she was no longer just a promising left-hander from…

Jessica Pegula Turns a Rain-Delay Gut Punch Into a Berlin Bagel Against Aryna Sabalenka
Jessica Pegula had every reason to feel robbed by the weather. She was leading Aryna Sabalenka 3-1 in a second-set tie-break, two points from reaching the Berlin final in straight sets, when the rain arrived. The covers came on. The players left. The momentum vanished into the grey. For plenty of players, that would have…

Qualifier Viktorija Golubic Beats Sofia Kenin Twice, Then Takes Out Ann Li to Reach Nottingham Semi-Finals
Viktorija Golubic arrived in Nottingham as a qualifier, ranked No. 76, needing to earn her way into the main draw before she could even begin chasing the bigger names. She has now beaten one former Australian Open champion twice in the same tournament week and taken out the world No. 29. That is quite a…

Alexandra Eala Bosses an Out-of-Sorts Elena Rybakina as Berlin Grass Run Turns Serious
Elena Rybakina’s grass preparation is starting to run off the rails. That is not something anyone expects to say about one of the cleanest grass-court strikers in the women’s game, a player whose serve can take the racket out of an opponent’s hands before the rally has even begun. But Berlin did not look like…
-
Madison Keys Finds Her Grass Momentum With Clean Berlin Win Over Karolina Muchova
Madison Keys did not need a perfect match to make Berlin feel useful. She needed rhythm. She needed a clean scoreboard. She needed proof that her grass season was beginning to move in the right direction after a clay stretch that had delivered matches, wins and some good signs, but not quite the same sharpness…
-
Karolina Pliskova Holds Off Caty McNally in Nottingham as Grass Revival Gathers Pace
Karolina Pliskova is beginning to look dangerous on grass again. That sentence carries more weight than it might seem. For a former Wimbledon finalist who had fallen outside the top 100 earlier this season, every win on the surface does a little more than move her through a draw. It reminds the tour that the…
-
Aryna Sabalenka’s Complete Grass Record Shows the Strange Wimbledon Gap in Her Career
Aryna Sabalenka’s grass-court story has never been simple. The surface should suit her, at least in theory. The serve is huge. The first strike is bigger than almost anyone’s. The return can take time away from opponents who need rhythm. When the ball stays low and quick, Sabalenka can make tennis feel brutally short. And…

Paula Badosa Turns Berlin Match Around and Hands Coco Gauff Another Grass-Court Setback
Paula Badosa’s season has been running on fragments. A good spell here. A worrying defeat there. Wildcards, fitness questions, ranking damage, flashes of the player who used to sit near the top of the sport, then another reminder that the body has not always allowed the tennis to follow. Then came Berlin. Badosa beat Coco…

Emma Raducanu Withdraws From Nottingham After Queen’s Run Leaves Her Short on Recovery Time
Emma Raducanu had earned the right to rest. That may sound strange after a final defeat, but Queen’s Club asked plenty of her. Too much, probably. The rain turned the schedule into a squeeze, the matches piled up late in the week, and by the time Donna Vekic stood across the net in the final,…

Robin Montgomery Wins First WTA Title at Libéma Open After Qualifying Run in Rosmalen
Robin Montgomery did not enter the Libéma Open as the obvious champion. She entered it through qualifying. By the end of the week in Rosmalen, the 21-year-old American had survived a three-set qualifying battle, beaten a top seed, moved through the grass draw with growing authority and then stood as champion after Barbora Krejcikova withdrew…

Iva Jovic Proves Her Grass Game Can Hurt the Big Names by Beating Amanda Anisimova at Queen’s
Iva Jovic already had grass-court evidence. As we said earlier. She had the Ilkley title. She had the Wimbledon qualifying run. She had two clean wins at Queen’s Club. What she did not yet have was the result that made the rest of the tour look at her differently on the surface. Now she has…

Boulter’s Wit and Nerve Bring Career-Best Win Over Inconsistent Rybakina
After Katie Boulter and Elena Rybakina booked their quarter-final places earlier in the day, they had to face each other again for a semi-final spot in the early evening at Queen’s. That already made the match feel slightly odd. Two players, one day, two assignments, and then a place in the last four at stake…

Amanda Anisimova Starts Queen’s Club Defence of Her Grass Reputation With Clean Siegemund Win
Amanda Anisimova already knows what a grass-court run can do to a season. Last year, Queen’s Club helped start one. She reached the final in London, carried that rhythm into Wimbledon, and went all the way to the final there too. It changed how her grass-court game was seen. Not as a useful fit. Not…

Iva Jovic Shows Her Grass Value at Queen’s Club With Clean Eala Win
Iva Jovic did not arrive at Queen’s Club as a grass-court novice. The Ilkley title and Wimbledon qualifying run from last summer had already shown she could move through a grass week with confidence. Date Round Opponent Result Score Ilkley 125 June 2025 R32 Rebeka Masarova Win 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 R16 Varvara Lepchenko Win 6-3,…

Serena Williams Returns at Queen’s Club as Her Daughters Watch and Mboko Covers the Ground
Serena Williams did not walk back into tennis alone. She returned with Olympia in the stands, Adira nearby, Alexis Ohanian watching too, and an entire arena rising before she had struck a meaningful ball. That was the picture at Queen’s Club: not just the 23-time Grand Slam singles champion stepping into competition after almost four…

Emma Raducanu Snaps Losing Run at Queen’s Club With Ruthless Win Over Anna Blinkova
Emma Raducanu needed this to feel simple. After the past few months, she needed a match that did not turn into a negotiation with her own game. No long recovery act. No anxious three-set scramble. No fresh evidence that the form which had carried her to the Cluj-Napoca final in February had slipped too far…

Bianca Andreescu’s Grass Return Ends Abruptly as Ranking Trouble Deepens Before Wimbledon
Bianca Andreescu once made comebacks feel like theatre. The sudden spark. The unpredictable shotmaking. The feeling that if she could only get her body to cooperate for long enough, the rest of tennis might have to deal with her again. That is why this grass-court return felt so uncomfortable to watch. Andreescu did not just…

Hailey Baptiste Begins Long Road Back After Successful Knee Surgery
Hailey Baptiste’s 2026 season had been turning into the kind of year that changes how a player sees herself. Then Roland Garros changed everything in one brutal moment. The American had been climbing fast, beating bigger names, reaching deeper stages and looking increasingly comfortable in matches that once might have felt slightly out of reach.…
