The draw also features special invitees who entered thanks to wild cards. The 2019 US Open champion Bianca Andreescu, recent runner-up at the Libema Open, will look to continue her winning ways after nearly 10 months away from the Tour. Also joining are former world No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki and former world No. 2 Paula Badosa, both now outside the top-100.

Rybakina headlines Eastbourne International draw

World No. 4 Elena Rybakina leads the Eastbourne International draw. The Kazakh recently had to withdraw mid-match in the quarterfinals of the Berlin Ladies Open against Victoria Azarenka due to abdominal issues after just four games played, adding to the various retirements and withdrawals she has faced this season.

The Americans Jessica Pegula (No. 5), Danielle Collins (No. 11), and Madison Keys appear with a good chance to go deep into the tournament as they look to accumulate matches on grass before Wimbledon. The recent French Open runner-up Jasmine Paolini (No. 7) returns to the courts this week in her only grass tournament before SW19.

The defending champion is Katerina Siniakova, who is also part of the draw and who defeated Lucia Bronzetti in the 2023 final. Other notable names include former Grand Slam champions Jelena Ostapenko, Barbora Krejcikova, and Sloane Stephens. Wildcards were granted to former world No. 1 Naomi Osaka and the 2021 US Open champion Emma Raducanu.
