WTA HSBC Championships | Player Guide 2026
Welcome to London, and to The Queen’s Club.
After such an incredible first year for women’s week, with more than 60,000 fans coming through the gates, we’re so excited to have you here for another great week of tennis.
Bringing women’s professional tennis back to central London for the first time in over 50 years created some really special moments last summer, and the atmosphere around the club was unforgettable. We can’t wait to build on that again this year.
The Queen’s Club is such a unique place with so much history in our sport, and we hope you enjoy being part of it, whether you're returning for back-to-back years or joining us for the first time. Our team is here to help with anything you need throughout the week, so please just ask if there’s anything we can do.
Thanks for being part of another exciting chapter for this event. I’m really looking forward to seeing you out on court!
Warmest regards,

Laura Robson
Tournament Director
