The Nottingham Open 2026 daily recap for Jun 21, 2026 names Marie Bouzkova and Emma Navarro.
Marie Bouzkova is the Nottingham champion, closing out a week without a serve-driven scare by taking the title 7-6(5) 4-6 6-2 over Emma Navarro. The pattern held from the semifinals: Bouzkova won the tight set on a tiebreak rather than a hold, edging the opener 7-5 in the breaker before Navarro leveled by snatching the only break that mattered in the second.
The decider was where the runner-up ran out of margin. After splitting sets on fine lines, Bouzkova pulled clear 6-2 — the same separation she'd found a day earlier, when she handed Pliskova a single game across the back half of the semifinal. Navarro, who needed a first-set breaker to survive Bouzas Maneiro en route, leaves Nottingham without the grass title but with a final's worth of form heading into the rest of the swing.
The Nottingham Open 2026 daily recap for Jun 20, 2026 names Marie Bouzkova, Karolina Pliskova, Emma Navarro and Viktorija Golubic.
Marie Bouzkova was the more emphatic of the two semifinalists, holding off Pliskova 6-4 before pulling away 6-1 — a second set that handed Karolina Pliskova just one game and ended a week in which the bigger serve never decided a thing. Bouzkova hasn't dropped a set since the Round of 16.
Emma Navarro took the longer road, needing a first-set tiebreak before the floor gave way 7-6(5) 6-2. It's the same script as her quarterfinal: once the breaker went Navarro's way, Viktorija Golubic managed only two more games. Two tiebreak-tight openers turning into runaways now puts Navarro one win from the title against a Bouzkova who has yet to be pushed to three.
The Nottingham Open 2026 daily recap for Jun 19, 2026 names Emma Navarro, Jessica Bouzas Maneiro, Marie Bouzkova, Karolina Pliskova, Talia Gibson and Viktorija Golubic.
Emma Navarro needed the day's tightest margin to keep moving, edging Jessica Bouzas Maneiro on a first-set tiebreak before the second set fell apart 7-6(6) 6-2 — once the breaker went her way, Jessica Bouzas Maneiro won just two more games. Top of the quarterfinal heap, though, belonged to Marie Bouzkova, who turned a 7-5 first set into a bagel over Tatjana Maria, winning the last seven games of the match.
Karolina Pliskova cleared Talia Gibson 7-5 6-4 to end the run that had taken out the top seed two days earlier. The lone three-setter went to Viktorija Golubic, who recovered from a 6-2 middle-set drop to put out Ann Li 6-3 2-6 6-3, the only quarterfinalist forced past two sets.
The Nottingham Open 2026 daily recap for Jun 18, 2026 names Hannah Klugman, Ann Li, Viktorija Golubic, Karolina Pliskova, Caty McNally and Marie Bouzkova.
Marie Bouzkova was the only seed to leave the court without dropping a set, closing out home hope Hannah Klugman 7-5 6-2 after the British teenager pushed the first set to its full length. The rest of the Round of 16 demanded a third set or a tiebreak. Ann Li dropped the opener to Taylah Preston before rattling off two 6-2 sets, and Viktorija Golubic recovered from losing the middle set to edge Zeynep Sonmez 6-4 in the decider.
Karolina Pliskova needed no third set but couldn't shake Caty McNally, serving through a second-set tiebreak she took 7-3 to advance 6-4 7-6. With Marie Bouzkova the cleanest winner of the day, the quarterfinal field skews toward grinders who found a way out of trouble rather than runaway form.
The Nottingham Open 2026 daily recap for Jun 17, 2026 names Qinwen Zheng, Tatjana Maria, Emma Navarro and Jessica Bouzas Maneiro.
The biggest scalp of the Round of 16 went to Talia Gibson, who knocked out top seed Qinwen Zheng in straights — though the 7-6 second set turned on a marathon tiebreak Gibson edged 12-10. Qinwen Zheng never found a way back after dropping the opener, and her early grass departure reshapes the top half. Tatjana Maria was the day's cleanest operator, bageling her way past Dayana Yastremska 6-1, 6-2 in under an hour of one-way traffic.
Emma Navarro had to grind, surviving Yuliia Starodubtseva in three after coughing up a second-set tiebreak, then closing 6-4 in the decider. The other quarterfinal spot went to Jessica Bouzas Maneiro, who advanced when Katie Volynets retired early in the second set with the Spaniard already a set up.
