Two additional players join the Queen's tournament

While the Queen's tournament had already confirmed the participation of Carlos Alcaraz and Amanda Anisimova for the 2026 edition, two additional players have just been announced.

Britain's Jack Draper, a semi-finalist last year, will return to defend his chances, as will Jessica Pegula, who did not participate in the 2024 edition.

The Queen's tournament hosted a WTA event during this 2025 edition for the first time since 1973.

Draper said about his participation: "I'm really looking forward to coming back, I played very well this year and it's one of my favorite tournaments, especially in front of my home crowd.

I love the atmosphere. I have a picture of myself as a child next to the trophy, and I'm almost taller than it. I hope one day I can lift it."
