2021 WTA Eastbourne International Draw released including Sabalenka, Svitolina, Andreescu and Swiatek

The draw has been released ahead of the WTA Eastbourne International which is set to take place between June 21 - 26 2021 at Devonshire Park.

The usual main warm-up tournament for Wimbledon, it sees many of the top names either returning to action for the first time since Roland Garros or aiming to find match practice on grass.

Among the latter are the likes of top seed Aryna Sabalenka who lost out early in Berlin, she will take on a qualifier with a potential Veronika Kudermetova clash awaiting in the second round.

Elina Svitolina will not get any harder a test in her first game as she takes on in-form clay court star, Paula Badosa fresh off her run to the Quarter-Final at Roland Garros.

Potentially awaiting either player is Elena Rybakina who faces British wildcard, Harriet Dart.

Iga Swiatek will return to action for the first time since losing out in her Roland Garros defence and will face Heather Watson who lost out in the semi-finals in Birmingham.

While Bianca Andreescu, similar to Sabalenka and Svitolina lost out in her first action of the grass court season and will face Madison Keys who played well in Berlin.

A draw littered with top ties, others to watch include Donna Vekic v Karolina Pliskova, Petra Martic v Belinda Bencic, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova v Jelena Ostapenko and Elise Mertens v Coco Gauff - with the latter making her debut at Eastbourne.
