Raducanu on entry list for Eastbourne Open

Emma Raducanu was beaten in the quarter-finals at last summer's event at Eastbourne by eventual champion Daria Kasatkina

Britain's Emma Raducanu is on the entry list to play at the Eastbourne Open in June.

The 2021 US Open champion is joined by Czech reigning Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejcikova, three-time Grand Slam finalist Ons Jabeur and British number three Sonay Kartal.

In the men's event, American world number four Taylor Fritz will return as defending champion alongside compatriot and world number 12 Tommy Paul and British number two Jacob Fearnley.

Britons Gordon Reid and Lucy Shuker will take part in the wheelchair events while Andy Lapthorne and Greg Slade are to appear in the wheelchair quads.

Raducanu, 22, faces defending French Open champion Iga Swiatek in the second round at Roland-Garros on Wednesday.

Subsequently, she is set to have a busy grass court season, having already committed to the new WTA 500 tournament at Queen's.

Last week, the British number two accepted a wildcard for the Berlin Open which starts on 16 June, a week after Queen's and seven days before Eastbourne.

In last year's grass court season, Raducanu reached the semi-finals at Nottingham Open, the quarter-finals at Eastbourne and the fourth round of Wimbledon.

This year's Eastbourne Open, which will be played between 23-28 June, is the first since the tournament was downgraded from a WTA 500 to a WTA 250 event.

Wimbledon begins on 30 June and runs until 13 July.
