A full day of tennis action at the Rothesay Eastbourne International is lined up with the likes of Coco Gauff, Heather Watson, Katie Boulter and more stars set to play on Tueday.
On the men’s side, Brits Liam Broady and Jan Choinski face off against each other and Joe Salisbury will also be in doubles action later.
The Eastbourne International serves as a major warm-up tournament ahead of Wimbledon which starts next week and follows on from exciting events at Surbiton, Nottingham and Queen’s. While Andy Murray triumphed in the first two of those, the latter - and more prestigious - saw Carlos Alcaraz win his first title on grass and return to world No.1 in the process.
