The Nottingham Open kicks off the summer lawn tennis season with a bang as elite stars return to Britain for the festivities. British women’s No. 1 Katie Boulter, the reigning champion at Nottingham, is gearing up to defend her title and secure her ranking status ahead of Wimbledon.
Currently ranked No. 28 in the WTA Rankings, Boulter achieved her career-high ranking of No. 27 in March. However, a potential early exit at Nottingham could cost her 500 points, jeopardizing her chances of maintaining her position. With Wimbledon just around the corner, the 27-year-old is aiming to secure a seeded place at The Championships in July, which would give her a more favorable draw at SW19.
The Nottingham Open will see Ons Jabeur as the only top-20 player expected to compete in the WTA 250 tournament, while Dan Evans will lead the men’s ATP Challenger Tour event as the top seed.
For fans eager to catch all the action, the tournament begins on Monday, June 10, 2024, and runs until the final on Sunday, June 16, 2024. Matches will start at around 11 am UK time each day. Viewers in the UK can watch the Nottingham Open live on BBC and Sky Sports, with coverage available on BBC Red Button, BBC iPlayer, and Sky Go app. Additionally, NOW offers a streaming option without the need for a contract.
