The acceptance lists for the Aegon International Eastbourne and the Antalya Open are out.
These two grass-court tournaments will be played a week before Wimbledon, in the same week as the Grand Slam’s qualifying tournament.
The Antalya Open is a new event on the ATP World Tour, increasing the number of grass-court ATP tournaments to 8. As the website announced, “Seven grass courts are being constructed at the luxury hotel resort Kaya Palazzo Belek under the expert guidance of the All England Lawn Tennis Club, Wimbledon.” Austrian world’s number 7 Dominic Thiem will be the man to beat.
The Aegon International Eastbourne comes back to the tour after two years of absence (it had been replaced by Nottingham) and shows a very solid entry list, with Pablo Cuevas, John Isner and defending champion Steve Johnson leading it.
