Eastbourne International 2022 is fast approaching and is the final chance for players to get some action in on the grass ahead of next week’s Wimbledon.

The tournament comes off the back of the Queen’s Club Championships and is seen as a warm-up tournament before the world’s tennis stars return to SW19.

Eastbourne is a designated WTA 500 event, meaning the standard of players will be higher than the men who will be competing across a few tournaments all over the world.

Five of the top 10 in the WTA rankings will feature in the tournament, with Paula Badosa and Coco Gauff both competing, while British No. 1 Cameron Norrie will be top seed in the men’s tournament.

Here is everything we know ahead of the Eastbourne International 2022 tennis tournament.

When is the Eastbourne International 2022?

The Eastbourne International 2022 tournament is set to begin this Sunday, 19th June 2022.

Great Britain’s Heather Watson will kick off the tournament as she takes on Rebecca Marino in the Round of 64 at 11am BST, while Camila Osorio and Lesia Tsurenko will face off at the same time.

Where is the tournament held?

The Eastbourne International is held at the Devonshire Park Lawn Tennis Club in Eastbourne, on the south coast of England.

The Eastbourne tournament was founded in 1974 and has since hosted 47 editions of the women’s tournament and 11 of the men’s.

How to watch on TV

Both the men’s and women’s singles events will be broadcast live on Amazon Prime Video, which you can watch via the website and the app.
