Welcome to Eastbourne, Great Britain! Just one week ahead of the third Grand Slam this year at Wimbledon, the players here try to get some much needed grass practice. It's the bigger event this week being a Tier II, with the rest of the pack at the Ordina Open in 's-Hertogenbosch. Last year top Belgian Kim Clijsters defeated Russian Anastasia Myskina in the final. Both have returned to this venue and will be joined by players like Mauresmo, Petrova and Kuznetsova. In the qualifying event we see interesting players like Stosur, Perry, Morigami and Laine.
