We’re into the main draw at Eastbourne’s Devonshire Park as the action at the Rothesay International hots up.
With the weekend qualifiers out of the way, it starts to get serious in the singles and the doubles – and a good-sized crowd was present on Monday to see the action unfold.
Several well-known Brits were in action, drawing plenty of support, and there’s an excellent representation of stars from overseas too.
