LTA Media Release, May 12, 2026
The LTA has today confirmed the entry list for the WTA 500 event at this year’s HSBC Championships, with eight of the world’s top 20 set to feature at the Queen’s Club from the 8th of June.
Americans Jessica Pegula and Amanda Anisimova, 2025 finalist at both the HSBC Championships and later in the summer at Wimbledon, are the top two seeds for the main draw. Fellow WTA top ten player Victoria Mboko leads the chasing pack, which also features newly crowned WTA 1000 Madrid champion Marta Kostyuk and Tokyo 2020 Olympic Gold medallist Belinda Bencic.
British No. 1 Emma Raducanu will also seek to build on her performance last summer, where she reached the quarter finals before losing out to China’s Qinwen Zheng.
The full entry list can be found on the LTA website.
Last year, the Queen’s Club played host to a women’s event for the first time since 1973. Germany’s Tatjana Maria delivered a fairytale run fitting for such a landmark event, coming through qualifying and defeating four top-15 players to become the oldest WTA 500 champion.
Laura Robson, Tournament Director of the WTA 500 event at the HSBC Championships, said, “After such a memorable return to the Queen’s Club for women’s tennis last summer, we can’t wait for what is sure to be another spectacular show this year. Fans are in for a treat with the mixture of young, exciting breakthrough stars and some of the very top players in the world – and it’s a great endorsement for the tournament that these players all want to be part of an iconic event. Don’t miss out on your chance to be there!”
With over 90% of tickets sold, limited tickets remain for this year’s WTA 500 event at the HSBC Championships, with grounds admission tickets starting from £15 and Centre Court tickets from £20. All tickets can be purchased via tickets.lta.org.uk.
