Why is this such a big deal?<\/h2>\n
New tournaments are not common on the WTA Tour and certainly not an event of this magnitude.<\/p>\n
The historic Queen\u2019s Club in south London will be the most prestigious grass court tournament ahead of Wimbledon on the WTA Tour and that will attract some of the game\u2019s biggest stars.<\/p>\n
Prize money will be huge and the 500 ranking points available to the champions at The Queen\u2019s Club could have an impact on the seedings for the third Grand Slam of the year at Wimbledon, which will be played a couple of weeks after this tournament comes to an end.<\/p>\n
WTA 500 tournaments are the second most prestigious level of tournaments on the WTA Tour and as there are no WTA 1000 tournaments on grass courts, this event at The Queen\u2019s Club will be the biggest prize on offer in this phase of the tennis year.<\/p>\n
Who is playing?<\/h2>\n
Former world No 1 and four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka, Australian Open title-winner Madison Keys, British stars Katie Boulter and Emma Raducanu, US Open runner-up Jessica Pegula, and reigning Eastbourne champion Daria Kasatkina are already confirmed to play at The Queen\u2019s Club, with more set to be announced.<\/p>\n
\u201cI used to watch the [men\u2019s] tournament every year growing up, so to be able to compete at such a wonderful, historic, and iconic event to commence the grass court season is an honour,\u201d Boulter said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have some of the best women\u2019s players in the world competing at Queen\u2019s, and it takes the British grass court swing to a whole new level.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo win that title as a British player would be an absolute dream and I will do everything I can to get myself in that position. Let\u2019s make more history this summer.\u201d<\/p>\n

I\u2019m very positive about it and I think it\u2019s going to be great for the players involved,\u201d said Robson.<\/p>\n \u201cThe logistics are very hard because it\u2019s a members\u2019 club and they are used to having a lot of their own spaces and we have taken over the women\u2019s dressing room for the first time.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a small club and that space on site is what it is. We can\u2019t have any more, so we need to limit the number of people that are there.<\/p>\n \u201cI couldn\u2019t be more confident about the courts. We have made sure we have fewer matches on Centre Court and No 1 Court, so hopefully that will keep them fresh.<\/p>\n \u201cThe general consensus is everyone is excited to have this new event, so we will see how it goes.\u201d<\/p>\n Browse Keith Prowse hospitality packages for the Queen\u2019s Club event today<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n The post Why the new Queen\u2019s Club event is such a big deal \u2013 and why you need to be there<\/a> appeared first on Tennis365<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A sparkling new WTA Tour 500 event is coming to The Queen\u2019s Club from June 7-15 \u2013 and there are some incredible options to watch some of the biggest stars in the women\u2019s game battle it out on the historic courts.
