Draper and Pegula to play Queen's in 2026

British number one Jack Draper and world number six Jessica Pegula will play at Queen's next year.

Draper, ranked 10th in the world, reached the semi-finals this summer where he lost in three sets to eventual runner-up Jiri Lehecka.

American Pegula will make her tournament debut in 2026, a year after women's tennis returned to Queen's for the first time since 1973.

Last week it was confirmed defending men's champion Carlos Alcaraz and 2025 women's runner-up Amanda Anisimova will return.

"I'm really looking forward to being back – I played some really good tennis this year and it's one of my favourite tournaments, being in front of a home crowd, I just love the atmosphere," said Draper, 23.
