LONDON (AP) — The Queen’s Club will stage a women’s tennis tournament next year for the first time in more than a half-century, though it may prove to be a one-off.
The WTA event will take place the week after the French Open, ushering in the start of tennis’ short grass-court campaign and putting it among the warmup tournaments for Wimbledon. The men’s ATP Tour event will be held the following week.
Male players have raised concerns that the quality of the grass at Queen’s Club will be impacted by a women’s tournament being staged there first, and Chris Pollard, director of major events and digital at the Lawn Tennis Association, said the arrangement could end up only being for a year.
“We have absolute confidence that we can stage a two-week event at the Queen’s Club,” Pollard said. “Obviously the championships at Wimbledon prove that grass can withstand two weeks of tennis. We’ve got independent data that really provides a lot of evidence that the men’s week will not suffer in any way, shape or form.
