Eastbourne puts the WTA on seafront grass for a week of fast, low-bounce tennis, wrapping up 22-28 June ahead of SW19. A 32-player draw at the WTA 500 level, prize money sits at $1.1M, offering one final sharp test before Wimbledon.

D. Kasatkina returns as defending champion, aiming to repeat on a surface that rewards craft over pure power. For the field, this is the last real chance to tune returns, serve-and-volley instincts, and movement on turf before the All England Club. Every match carries weight.
