Men’s tennis to return to Eastbourne in 2017

Men’s top-level tennis will return to Eastbourne next year.

After a two year hiatus the men’s competition at Eastbourne will return to Devonshire Park in 2017.

The LTA made the announcement today as part of a wider shake up of the pre-tournaments ahead of Wimbledon.

Eastbourne will host the tournament that was held in Nottingham – meaning it will have a 48 player women’s draw alongside 24 in the men’s competition.
