The tournament is a WTA Premier event and will take place from 18-25 June 2016 and is an integral part of the British grass court season, which features 11 international grass-court tournaments in eight venues across the country.

Radwanska will be joining a high-flying line up at Devonshire Park, including double Wimbledon winner Petra Kvitova and reigning tournament champion Belinda Bencic. Sitting in its traditional place in the calendar, the Aegon International Eastbourne will see some of the world’s best players make their final tournament appearances before taking to the courts at SW19 for The Championships, Wimbledon the following week.

Radwanska said, “The grass-court season is a very special time of year for me and I’m delighted to be returning for the Aegon International Eastbourne.

“I have fond memories of lifting the trophy at Devonshire Park in 2008 and I’m excited about coming back again this year. The town and the great support make for a unique atmosphere at the tournament, and I’m sure the players will put on a great show for the fans.”
