Queen's WTA 2026 results at a glance
Donna Vekic won the 2026 Queen's women's singles title, defeating Emma Raducanu 6-0, 7-6 (6) on June 14. Olivia Nicholls and Tereza Mihalikova won the women's doubles. The WTA 500 grass tournament at The Queen's Club in London ran from June 8 to June 14 and is now complete.
If you searched for Queen's games today, these are the results of the finished 2026 women's edition. For matches being played now, use today's WTA matches. The women's competition has its own draw and champions, separate from the ATP event at the same club.
| Question | 2026 answer |
|---|---|
| Singles champion | Donna Vekic |
| Singles runner-up | Emma Raducanu |
| Doubles champions | Olivia Nicholls / Tereza Mihalikova |
| Doubles runners-up | Leylah Fernandez / Laura Siegemund |
| Level and surface | WTA 500, outdoor grass |
The quickest way to catch up is to read the final result first, then follow Vekic's path through the draw. Her entry as a lucky loser matters: she reached the title match by winning actual main-draw rounds after receiving another chance to play. Raducanu's run offers a different story, with two matches on the final Saturday and a home final the following day.
Dates, venue and the women's tournament schedule
The 2026 women's main draw was played from Monday, June 8, through Sunday, June 14. Qualifying occupied June 6 and June 7. Those two dates belong to the same tournament, but qualifying results sit in a separate bracket from the main-draw results.
The venue was The Queen's Club in West Kensington, London. Its address is Palliser Road, London W14 9EQ; Barons Court is the nearby Underground station. This is useful location context for future visits, although the 2026 tournament itself has finished. A ticket or schedule page for the next edition cannot be used to reconstruct an old day's lineup.
London was on British Summer Time during the event, one hour ahead of UTC. When comparing a saved order of play with a result in another country, check whether the display has converted the time. A late result may be dated differently in your time zone without being a different match.
Why the calendar and actual match days can differ
A round label tells you where a match sits in the tournament. It does not always tell you the day on which it was completed. Raducanu's quarterfinal and semifinal both took place on Saturday, June 13, after a rain-affected week. An archive that simply assigns quarterfinals to Friday would miss that detail.
For a reliable catch-up, start with the completed bracket, then use the report or daily order of play for the date. Avoid treating an early-week timetable as proof that every match happened exactly as planned. The same habit helps during live tournaments: look for the latest court lineup and the previous match's progress before assuming a player will start at an advertised time. Our WTA calendar shows the tournament week; the daily match page is better for the individual contest.
How Donna Vekic won the singles title
Queen's gave Vekic her fifth career WTA singles trophy and her first WTA 500 title. It also added another grass title to her Nottingham success in 2017. Those achievements describe her position when the tournament ended, rather than a current title count for every later week of the season.
From lucky loser to five main-draw wins
Vekic lost to Anna Blinkova in qualifying, then entered the main draw after Marta Kostyuk withdrew. The lucky-loser place kept her tournament alive; it did not give her a shortcut through the next five matches.
| Round | Opponent | Vekic's winning score |
|---|---|---|
| First round | Mika Stojsavljevic | 6-2, 6-3 |
| Second round | Marie Bouzkova | 7-6 (9), 6-3 |
| Quarterfinal | Karolina Pliskova | 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 |
| Semifinal | Katie Boulter | 6-1, 6-3 |
| Final | Emma Raducanu | 6-0, 7-6 (6) |
The quarterfinal was the only match in this route that went to three sets. For a short viewing session, that contest and the final's second set offer two different parts of the title story: recovering after losing a set, then closing a championship when the opponent has moved ahead.
The final against Emma Raducanu
Vekic took the opening set without losing a game. Raducanu responded by building a 5-2 lead in the second and creating two set points, but Vekic recovered and won the tiebreak. The WTA final report describes that reversal.
The notation 7-6 (6) means the defeated player scored six points in the tiebreak: Vekic won it 8-6. It does not mean a third set was played. When choosing a replay, look for Vekic versus Raducanu, Queen's, June 14, 2026; either player's name alone can bring up interviews or clips from other tournaments.
Emma Raducanu and the other singles contenders
Raducanu reached the final without dropping a set. Her four opponents were Anna Blinkova, Sorana Cirstea, Kamilla Rakhimova and Iva Jovic. The Saturday semifinal ended 6-2, 6-2 against Jovic, following a 6-3, 7-5 quarterfinal victory over Rakhimova earlier that day.
The LTA's semifinal account places the achievement in home-tournament context. It was her first grass-court final and first WTA 500 final. Losing on Sunday therefore does not erase the four wins that got her there. For a fan reviewing the week, the semifinal is a useful companion to the final: it shows the runner-up before the very different opening set of the championship match.
The leading seeds did not occupy the final two places. Elena Rybakina was the top seed, Amanda Anisimova the second and Victoria Mboko the third. In the quarterfinals, Boulter beat Rybakina 7-5, 2-6, 6-4, while Jovic beat Anisimova 6-2, 3-6, 6-3. Boulter and Jovic then lost to the eventual finalists.
This gives the draw more substance than a list of big names. Follow each quarter to see which player removed a seed and who benefited from that opening. A seed number describes the tournament's original arrangement; it is not a prediction that the player will reach the corresponding round.
For the latest position of any contender, use the current WTA singles rankings. Historical June match notes and this completed draw reflect that tournament's context. They should not be read as an October ranking list or proof that the same group will enter the next Queen's edition.
The women's doubles champions
Olivia Nicholls and Tereza Mihalikova beat Leylah Fernandez and Laura Siegemund 6-3, 6-7 (4), [10-5] in the doubles final. The title was the partnership's second, after Berlin in 2025, and both came at WTA 500 grass tournaments.
The LTA doubles final report explains that the champions had two chances to serve out the match in the second set. They eventually needed the deciding match tiebreak. For fans following British players, Nicholls supplied a home doubles success even though Raducanu finished runner-up in singles.
The champions' draw also included a quarterfinal win over top seeds Anna Danilina and Aleksandra Krunic. Their semifinal against Guo Hanyu and Kristina Mladenovic ended 4-6, 7-5, [12-10]. That score is worth noticing when comparing the two finalists' routes: the champions had already survived a deciding tiebreak before Sunday's finish.
Reading the doubles result correctly
The final's [10-5] is a match tiebreak score, not a third set won by ten games to five. Brackets distinguish that finish from ordinary set scores. The second-set 6-7 (4) means Nicholls and Mihalikova lost a set tiebreak with four points.
Team names may appear in the opposite order on different pages. Mihalikova/Nicholls and Nicholls/Mihalikova refer to the same partnership here. When searching for their results, include both surnames and the event year rather than looking only at an individual's singles page.
A walkover elsewhere in the doubles bracket means a team advanced without that match being played; it is not a 6-0, 6-0 win. The bracket alone does not establish the reason for the walkover. For current individual doubles positions, see the WTA doubles rankings, while keeping the Queen's title attached to this specific pair.
How to read the Queen's 2026 draw
The singles field contained 28 players, arranged in a bracket with 32 positions and four first-round byes. The doubles field contained 16 teams. The official Queen's draw separates singles, doubles and qualifying, so choose the competition before following a player's name.
Start at the left of the bracket and move one round at a time. The winner of one match meets the winner of its neighboring match. Two names appearing close to each other in a player list are not necessarily first-round opponents; the bracket lines establish the pairing.
Seeds, byes, qualifiers and lucky losers
A number beside a player identifies a seed. A bye means that the player advances through the first round without playing it. It should not be counted as a match win over an opponent. That explains why players can reach the same round with different numbers of matches completed.
- Q: a qualifier who earned a main-draw place through qualifying.
- LL: a lucky loser entering after a qualifying defeat when a main-draw opening became available.
- WC: a wild-card entry.
Vekic's LL label and Blinkova's Q label describe different routes into the field. They do not change the score needed to win a main-draw match. A retirement or walkover is also a different result from a bye, so preserve the status when recording a player's tournament.
For a useful personal recap, note the player's entry label, opponents and round reached. Those three details prevent common mistakes such as calling the champion a qualifier, crediting a bye as a played victory, or confusing qualifying losses with elimination from the final main draw.
Highlights, replays and where to follow WTA now
The WTA's Queen's 2026 Champions Reel is a convenient starting point for Vekic's title week. It is a highlights compilation, rather than an uninterrupted replay of every match. The official tournament archive also lists a full replay of the Vekic-Raducanu final with a registration label.
Choose the format that suits what you want to see. Highlights answer who won and show selected points. A full match is more useful for following the score changes between points, the length of service games and how the second set developed. A post-match interview explains the player's reaction but cannot substitute for either form of match footage.
Access to an archive item can depend on the service, account and location. A registration label does not establish permanent worldwide access, and an old live broadcast listing does not guarantee that the replay is still available on that broadcaster. In Britain, the LTA listed BBC, BBC digital services and Tennis Channel for the 2026 singles final; that was the live arrangement for June 14.
Before paying for a service, find the exact replay in its current catalog and check the access conditions shown there. Match titles should identify the women, Queen's and 2026. A search result advertising a live final long after June is a reason to check the publisher and date carefully.
To watch the next WTA tournament rather than this archive, open WTA on TV Today and select your country. The WTA broadcaster finder provides another official route to regional partners. Channel availability and a specific match's coverage remain separate questions.
Queen's women's tennis questions
Is Queen's a WTA 500 or a Grand Slam?
The 2026 women's tournament was a WTA 500 event on grass. It was not a Grand Slam and was not part of the Wimbledon draw. Both events are played in London, but they have different venues, entry lists, brackets and titles.
That distinction matters when looking up a player. A Queen's trophy belongs on the player's tour record; a Wimbledon appearance belongs to a different event. The number 500 is a tournament category, rather than the number of players or matches at the club. Winning here did not make Vekic the Wimbledon champion or guarantee a particular Wimbledon result.
Who won Queen's in 2025?
Tatjana Maria won the 2025 women's singles title. Asia Muhammad and Demi Schuurs won the doubles. Those are the previous champions listed in the WTA Queen's honor roll; Vekic and Nicholls/Mihalikova are the 2026 winners.
The women's event returned in 2025 after a long absence, which helps explain why older searches for Queen's are dominated by men's tennis. Check the competition and year together when opening a champion list, highlights clip or historical photograph. A venue image may also predate the edition described beside it.
Can I still buy a ticket for the 2026 tournament?
No future session of the 2026 women's tournament remains: it finished on June 14. A ticket listing for that edition is historical. For the next tournament, start at the official HSBC Championships page and check the year, women's dates and sale status before booking travel.
The club also hosts men's tennis, so a Queen's ticket needs a specific week and date. A tournament name alone does not tell you which draw you will see. Choose the women's competition, check the session's admission conditions and then compare the day's order of play. A seat purchase cannot promise that a particular player will survive to that round or appear at a fixed time.
