The WTA grass-court season<\/a> is here, and the 2026 Berlin Open has the field to prove it. <\/p>\n

Nine of the world’s Top 10 players will compete at the Rot-Weiss Tennis Club from June 15th through June 21st, making it one of the strongest fields ahead of the Wimbledon Grand Slam<\/a>.<\/p>\n

WTA Stars Aryna Sabalenka, Coco Gauff Lead Singles Draw<\/p>\n

World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka and No. 2 Elena Rybakina<\/a> lead the 28-player singles draw as the top two seeds. No. 7 Coco Gauff joins them as she sharpens her game ahead of the All England Club.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, former Berlin champion Jessica Pegula and newly crowned French Open winner Mirra Andreeva<\/a> add even more depth to the women’s bracket. The official draw for the WTA tournament drops on Friday, June 12th.<\/p>\n

But the singles draw<\/a> isn’t the only reason to watch the Berlin Open.<\/p>\n

Serena Williams Returns for 2026 Berlin Open Doubles<\/p>\n

Serena Williams accepted a wildcard entry<\/a> to the 16-team doubles field alongside partner Karolina Muchova.<\/p>\n

The 23-time Grand Slam champion recently returned to grass at Queen’s Club. However, her doubles run was cut short<\/a> when partner Victoria Mboko withdrew with a knee injury<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mboko was also slated to compete at WTA Berlin 2026, but her status is still unknown.<\/p>\n

With additional top-ranked players like No. 26 Madison Keys, No. 18 Sorana Cirstea, and No. 22 Elise Mertens also entering the draw, the Berlin Open provides a sneak peek of what’s to come on at Wimbledon later this month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The WTA grass-court season is here, and the 2026 Berlin Open has the field to prove it.
