How British tennis has completely turned around in 2026 after terrible French Open campaign

British tennis experienced a significant resurgence in the latter half of 2026 after a dismal performance at the French Open, where no domestic player advanced beyond the second round. The struggles continued at Wimbledon, which saw a record 15 of 19 home entrants eliminated in the opening round despite a notable semi-final run by Arthur Fery.

However, the women's tour provided a late-season turnaround as Sonay Kartal reached the Wuhan Open final, Katie Boulter advanced to the Osaka semi-finals, and Harriet Dart secured a title in Guangzhou by defeating Lilli Tagger.
