Held at one of the oldest grass court venues in the world, the Eastbourne International always attracts an array of talent and this year is no different. In the women’s draw, eight of the current top 20 will be in action, including 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina, world number five Jessica Pegula and in-form American Danielle Collins.
French Open runner-up Jasmine Paolini will also be a danger, as will four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka and Latvian ace Jelena Ostapenko. There will also be an opportunity for fans to cheer on home favorites, including former US Open champion Emma Radacanu and British number one Katie Boulter who recently won the Nottingham Open.
The men’s event should be equally entertaining as there is a mix of past champions and rising stars. Two-time winner Taylor Fritz is the top seed but there are plenty of contenders for the crown, such as fellow American Tommy Paul and world number 17 Alexander Bublik.
