Laura Robson Appointed Tournament Director for New Women's Event at The Queen's Club

Posted : 27 November 2024

Laura Robson, the former British number one, has been appointed as the tournament director for the new WTA 500 women’s event at The Queen's Club in London, which will take place from June 9, 2025. This marks the first time in over 50 years that a women’s tour-level event will be held in London.

 

Having retired from professional tennis in 2022, Robson has served as the tournament director for the Nottingham Open for the past two years. She expressed excitement about her new role, stating her confidence that the women's event would be "just as thrilling" as the men’s competition.

 

Jamie Murray, a multi-Grand Slam-winning doubles player, will continue to oversee the men’s tournament, which begins a week after the women’s event. Following Robson’s appointment, Amy Hitchinson will succeed her at Nottingham, furthering the LTA’s commitment to having female directors at more than 70% of its major grass court events.
