British women’s number four Harriet Dart and 2024 champion Rebecca Marino are set to compete in the women’s draw at the 2025 Lexus Ilkley Open, with the entry list confirmed by the LTA.
The 2025 Lexus Ilkley Open is taking place at Ilkley Lawn Tennis & Squash Club between 8-15 June.
Dart has been a key figure in recent Lexus Great Britain Billie Jean King Cup teams, and enjoyed a strong 2024 season which saw her reach a career-high singles ranking of 70, including notable performances on grass at Wimbledon, where she reached the third round, and in Eastbourne, where she reached the quarter finals.
Joining Dart will be the 2024 women’s singles champion from Ilkley, Rebecca Marino. The Canadian, who has a career-high singles ranking of 38, triumphed over France’s Jessika Ponchet in last year’s final, with the Frenchwoman also returning to see if she can go one step further. Other names set to travel to Ilkley include US rising star Iva Jovic, a former junior world number two, and the Philippines’ Alexandra Eala, who is enjoying a breakout year on the WTA Tour, including reaching the semi-finals of the recent WTA 1000 Miami Open.

As part of a revamped summer calendar announced by the LTA last year, the Lexus Ilkley Open has moved to the second week of June, and this year’s event features a WTA 125 level event for the first time alongside an ATP Challenger 125 draw, having previously been an ITF W100 level event. The ATP Challenger entry list will be confirmed later in May.

As one of the world’s most spectacular settings for tennis, this event consistently attracts some of the world’s best to Yorkshire, and we’re looking forward to seeing more world class tennis in 2025 as we welcome Harriet, Rebecca and the rest of the WTA competitors to Ilkley.”
