Eastbourne International: when is Women’s tennis final and who is playing? Dates, times and how to watch

Just two days before the Wimbledon Championships take place, the Eastbourne International will host the women’s Singles’ final.

Jelena Ostapenko is the reigning champion and continues her bid to win the 2022 title as she faces Ukraine’s Anhelina Kalinina in the quarter-finals.

Serena Williams made her return to the world of professional tennis in the doubles tournament along side Ons Jabeur.

Williams retired from the first round in Wimbledon against Aliaksandra Sasnovich due to injuring her ankle and made her return to the courst alongside the Tunisian.

However, Jabeur suffered a right knee injury after the pair had advanced to the semi-finals of the Eastbourne International and Williams will now wait until the first round of Wimbledon to get back on the grass courts.

The 40-year-old 23 Grand Slam winner received a wildcard to enter the tournament and will bid to go for her record-equalling 24th Grand Slam as she hits the courts at SW19 next week.

Britain’s Harriet Dart is currently enjoying excellent form in the Eastbourne International. She beat America’s Madison Brengle 3-6 6-1 6-4 in the first round before taking on Switzerland’s Jil Teichmann and winning 7-6 (9-7) 4-6 6-3 and Ukraine’s Marta Kostyuk 6-4 2-6 6-4.
