Why the Nottingham Open matters in 2026
The Nottingham Open runs in Nottingham, Great Britain from 8–14 Jun, played on fast natural grass. Bounce sits lower than on any other tour surface and points run shorter, which puts a premium on the serve and the forecourt. It is an WTA 250 event. The singles champion takes ranking points and prize money, and a useful chunk of the season prize pool.
Play starts in 36 days, on Monday 8 June, with the main draw running through to Sunday 14 June.
