Queen's HSBC Championships: Emma Raducanu to make debut as Katie Boulter gets wildcard
Emma Raducanu will make her Queen's debut next week when she plays a qualifier having been placed in the opposite side of the draw to top seed Elena Rybakina.
The Briton last played at the French Open where she was beaten in the first round by Solana Sierra of Argentina.
She reunited with Andrew Richardson, who coached her to her landmark US Open win in 2021, earlier this year as she looks to get back to an aggressive, first-strike style on grass.
Katie Boulter has also received a wildcard and will play eighth seed Leylah Fernandez in the first round with the potential to face world No 2 Rybakina in the third round.
Two more top-10 players are also set to play Queen's - world No 6 Amanda Anisimova and ninth-ranked Victoria Mboko.
The 2025 women's singles champion was German qualifier Tatjana Maria, who defeated four consecutive top-20 players in her last four rounds, while Asia Muhammad and Demi Schuurs took the women's doubles title.
Carlos Alcaraz took the men's singles title, while British duo Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool took the doubles trophy.
