The grass court tennis season is nearly upon us, and each year it includes five major tournaments across the UK. The first is the Rothesay Open Nottingham, then you have the Rothesay Classic Birmingham, the Queen\u2019s Club Championships, and the Eastbourne International, all finally leading up to the Wimbledon Grand Slam.<\/p>\n

Today, we\u2019re dealing with the second to last serve of the grass court season: the Eastbourne International, now known as the Rothesay International Eastbourne tennis tournament.<\/p>\n

Seeing as you\u2019re here, we de-deuce you know a little bit about this competition already \u2013 but just in case, here\u2019s what you need to know.<\/p>\n

Taking place in the last week of June, the Eastbourne International sets up shop in East Sussex every year for a week-long battle of men\u2019s, women\u2019s, and doubles matches. The men\u2019s competition is part of the ATP Tour 250 series, while the women\u2019s is part of the WTA 500.<\/p>\n

Each year the players are vying to win the prize money of \u20ac100,000+ (\u00a387,000+) by making it through the various stages.<\/p>\n

Like Queen\u2019s, Eastbourne is often thought of as a warm-up for Wimbledon that will show the up-and-coming stars in the tennis world.<\/p>\n

In its 49 years of play (with its first year being 1974), the tournament has seen the likes of Novak Djokovic, Andy Roddick and Billie Jean King pass through. In fact, the most successful Eastbourne winner of all time was Martina Navratilova, who won 11 singles titles from 1978 to 1993.<\/p>\n

Last year, the men\u2019s final was won by Francisco Cer\u00fandolo and the women\u2019s by Madison Keys, but who will take the trophy this time around? Here\u2019s how you can find out.<\/p>\n
