I met with the LTA today and was told of the plans to change the grass court season from next year.
’It wasn’t what I wanted to hear of course and change is challenging but I was pleased to hear there will be further investment in Eastbourne going forward and a better fan experience. World-class women’s and men’s tennis remains in our town and I was assured the economic scenario does not change.
It is disappointing that not so many top women’s seeds will be at the event from 2025 but the decision is the LTA’s to make and now I will work with it to ensure its commitments to Eastbourne are made good and that the tournament goes from strength to strength.
