Bouzkova's first grass-court title, worth 250 WTA points, boosts her momentum for Wimbledon.

Overview

  • The Nottingham final, which took place Sunday, ended with Marie Bouzkova defeating Emma Navarro 7-6(7-5), 4-6, 6-2 after a match that lasted nearly three hours.
  • Bouzkova played through an ankle problem, taking medical treatment and a timeout during the match before recovering to close out the decider.
  • Navarro produced a strong performance with 10 aces and saving 10 of 14 break points, but she could not convert late chances in the first set tiebreak and the final set.
  • The title is Bouzkova's first on grass, her fourth career singles trophy and her second of the 2026 season, and it awards her 250 WTA ranking points.
  • The win completes Bouzkova's set of titles on multiple surfaces, gives her momentum and ranking lift ahead of Wimbledon, and capped an emotional on-court speech to her father on Father's Day.
