With just a week to go until the start of Wimbledon, the world’s best players will be keen to get their final preparation in at this week’s Rothesay International Eastbourne.

The tournament, which takes place on the south coast of the United Kingdom, sees a star-studded women’s line-up with Coco Gauff and last year’s Wimbledon runner-up Ons Jabeur set to take part.

Britain’s Harriet Dart and Jodie Burrage also feature but there will be no sighting of last year’s Wimbledon champion, Elena Rybakina, after the world number three withdrew through illness.

Ryan Peniston, who produced a shock win against Ugo Humbert to reach the quarter-finals at Queens last week is also in action this week in the men’s draw.
