Jessica Pegula and Naomi Osaka have both pulled out of Queen’s just days before the event gets underway in London. It will come as a major blow to organisers, most notably tournament director Laura Robson, as the Queen’s Club welcomes back a women’s WTA 500 event for the first time in over 50 years.
The tournament kicks off this Saturday and finishes on June 22, but fans will have been left disappointed by the withdrawal of two of the top female stars.
A statement from the tournament read: “Jessica Pegula and Naomi Osaka withdraw from HSBC Championships. We hope to see both Naomi and Jessica back on court soon and at The Queen’s Club in 2026.”
