Find out her full schedule and how to watch her live at the WTA 500 tournament. United States tennis sensation Coco Gauff will begin her grass-court swing at the 2026 WTA Berlin Open this week. Gauff is the fourth seed at the WTA 500 event in Berlin, which got underway on Monday (15 June) and runs through 21 June. It is one of three WTA 500 events, along with the Queen's Club Championships and Hamburg Open, which are held in the build-up to Wimbledon , the prestigious grass-court major that is scheduled for 29 June to 12 July this year. Gauff heads to Berlin on the back of a disappointing run on the Parisian clay at the 2026 French Open last month, where her title defence ended with a third-round defeat to Anastasia Potapova . Initially, Gauff was the fifth seed at the Berlin Open but fellow North American Amanda Anisimova 's late withdrawal pushed the two-time major winner to the No. 4 seeding. Gauff, therefore, also earned a first-round bye. The 22-year-old begins her campaign on Wednesday (17 June), with her opponent yet to be confirmed. Gauff is among a star-studded draw in Berlin, headlined by World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka. Elena Rybakina , the World No. 2, and third-ranked and 2024 champion Jessica Pegula are also in the mix. Czech Marketa Vondrousova , the 2025 champion, is not in the list of participants, which also features four wildcards, including Filipino rising star Alexandra Eala .

The pair also played together at the Olympic women's doubles event at Paris 2024 . Gauff and Pegula begin their campaign in Berlin with a round of 16 match on Tuesday (16 June) against Potapova and Diana Shnaider .
