HSBC Championships: Returning Champions Alcaraz and Anisimova Set for 2026
The excitement is building for tennis enthusiasts as the HSBC Championships, one of London’s premier tennis tournaments, prepares to welcome back its reigning champion, Carlos Alcaraz, and two-time Grand Slam finalist Amanda Anisimova. The 2026 edition of this prestigious event is set to take place at The Queen’s Club from June 6-21.
Alcaraz, currently ranked World No.2 and a six-time Grand Slam champion, will be making his fourth appearance in the HSBC Championships. He secured victory in both 2023 and 2025 editions of this tournament, defeating Jiri Lehecka in the final with an impressive scoreline of 7-5, 6-7(5), 6-2.
His performance solidified his status as one of the leading players on grass courts, equating him with Rafael Nadal and Feliciano Lopez for the most titles won by a Spanish player (four).
“The HSBC Championships is a very special tournament for me and one I look forward to every year,” Alcaraz expressed. “This year was incredible to come back and win the title for a second time in front of the amazing crowds in London – I couldn’t have asked for a better week. Coming back as the defending champion is going to be a challenge against these top players, but I’m excited to go out there and fight to lift the trophy again.” His statement underscores his anticipation and determination to reclaim his title.
Similarly, Amanda Anisimova, who rose to No.4 in the WTA world rankings after a breakthrough year, is also set to make her return. She achieved this milestone by winning the Qatar Open WTA 1000 and securing a runner-up finish at the HSBC Championships in 2025, marking the first women’s event at The Queen’s Club in 52 years.
Anisimova’s journey to the final was nothing short of remarkable.
She overcame several top-tier opponents including Jodie Burrage, Sonay Kartal, third seed Emma Navarro, and top seed Qinwen Zheng. Her performance culminated in a close second-place finish behind Tatjana Maria, demonstrating her potential as one of the leading women’s players.
“Revisiting a Historic WTA Return to The Queen’s Club” highlights Anisimova’s incredible run, which extended beyond the HSBC Championships into major tournaments like Wimbledon and the US Open. Her recent achievements at the China Open in Beijing further solidify her position as a force in women’s tennis.

The combination of Alcaraz’s experience and Anisimova’s burgeoning talent makes for an exciting prospect as they face off against the top players in the world.
