How to get tickets to this year's Rothesay International Eastbourne tennis
The Eastbourne International tennis tournament is approaching, and we’re here to set you up with all the right information. Find out how to see British tennis at its best this summer.
The grass court tennis season is 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’s Club Championships, and the Eastbourne International, all finally leading up to the Wimbledon Grand Slam.
Today, we’re dealing with the second to last serve of the grass court season: the Eastbourne International, now known as the Rothesay International Eastbourne tennis tournament.
Seeing as you’re here, we de-deuce you know a little bit about this competition already – but just in case, here’s what you need to know.
Taking place this week (the last week of June), the Eastbourne International sets up shop in East Sussex every year for a week-long battle of men’s, women’s, and doubles matches. The men’s competition is part of the ATP Tour 250 series, while the women’s is part of the WTA 500.
Each year the players are vying to win the prize money of €100,000+ (£87,000+) by making it through the various stages.

Like Queen’s, Eastbourne is often thought of as a warm-up for Wimbledon that will show the up-and-coming stars in the tennis world.
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.
This year, we’re hoping to see the likes of Emma Raducanu and Cameron Norrie step onto the court to take on last year’s winners Petra Kvitová and Taylor Fritz. But for now, here’s how you can get tickets to this event.
