Queen's Club: Women's event dependent on grass condition for men's tournament

Plans to reintroduce a women's tournament at The Queen's Club rest on convincing the ATP Tour the grass courts will remain in good enough condition for the men's event the following week.

The LTA and the All England Club want to stage a WTA tournament at Queen's in the first week of the grass court season from 2025.

If the ATP can be persuaded then the top women's players would be gracing the courts of the west London club for the first time since 1973.

"We have got high confidence, and we have got significant evidence from the All England Club as to how grass courts wear over a two-week period," the LTA chief executive Scott Lloyd said.
