Naomi Osaka and Jessica Pegula out: Queen's Club return hit with major withdrawals

Organisers of the Queen’s Club Championships have been dealt a significant setback just days before the tournament’s long-awaited women’s return, with top stars Naomi Osaka and Jessica Pegula withdrawing from the WTA 500 event.

The grass-court tournament, which officially begins this Saturday and runs until June 22, is hosting a women’s draw for the first time in over half a century. Expectations were high, but fans will now be left disappointed by the late exits of two of the sport’s biggest names.

A statement from the tournament confirmed: “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.”

Both players arrive at Queen’s off the back of underwhelming French Open campaigns. Osaka, who was granted a wildcard for Queen’s, fell in the opening round at Roland Garros to Paula Badosa in a tight three-set battle. Pegula, the current world No. 3 and one of the event’s top seeds, suffered a shock fourth-round defeat to France’s Lois Boisson - ranked 361st in the world - who has since progressed to the semi-finals.

looking forward to seeing how Muchova does.. she has a nice easy first round.

Czech women seem to have a lock on Wimbledon - can Muchova take over?

It would make me so happy.
She has the game. Let's see if her body holds up.

Muchova and Rybakina can meet in the quarters. I expect that winner to meet Keys in the semis.

I don't think I'd put my money on Muchova on grass. If she broke through and took a slam, I think it would be on hard courts.

I think her game translates well to all surfaces.
But she would be a dark horse. She has played a beautiful game in the past. But the years have been piling on.

BHM broke down again, inexplicably, lost focus due to a spectator getting ill, in the third set tiebreak. She really needs to learn to manage her own mind better.
