The excitement doesn’t end there, limited tickets are available to watch live tennis and home fans will have local star Johanna Konta to cheer on. The British No.1 has enjoyed plenty of success at Devonshire Park making runs to the semifinals in both 2015 and 2016 and is happy to be heading back to the south coast.

“I’m really excited to be back playing on the grass in Eastbourne once again,” said Konta. “It’s a very special tournament for me and I have some amazing memories from Devonshire Park, which all start and end with the incredible atmosphere created by the crowds there. It’s absolutely fantastic news that we’ll have some fans allowed in to watch this year and I know all of the players will really appreciate having them back.”
