Draper is set to make his return to competitive action in Eastbourne, following a two-month injury break. The former world No.4 will play his first match since retiring from the first round of the Barcelona Open.
Draper will be joined by new coach Andy Murray in Eastbourne, with the pair hoping to get their partnership off to a winning start on the south coast ahead of Wimbledon.
Joining him is in-form Fery, who has enjoyed a dream start to his grass court campaign. The Briton reached the semi-finals of the Lexus Birmingham Open before being awarded a wild card to the HSBC Championships, where he reached his first ATP quarter-final.
The 23-year-old is edging closer to breaking the world’s top 100 for the first time and will be hoping another strong run in Eastbourne can help him take another huge stride towards achieving the milestone.
Fearnley will be one to watch at this year’s tournament, having already made one final on the grass this summer - finishing runner-up at the Lexus Ilkley Open. He’s also a former Nottingham champion and Queen’s Club quarter-finalist, and has had many of his best results on the surface.
Finally, Pinnington Jones will also compete in the main draw at the Lexus Eastbourne Open. The 23-year-old will arrive off the back of a performance that saw him take former Wimbledon semi-finalist Denis Shapovalov to three sets at the HSBC Championships.
Jones will be looking for her first WTA win on the grass this season, following a close three-set defeat to Talia Gibson in Nottingham. The 25-year-old reached a career-high world No.65 in February and finished last year with two WTA 125 titles.
Dart picked up a victory over world No.37 Liudmila Samsonova at the HSBC Championships last week and has a good history on the grass. She has previously made quarter-finals in Birmingham, Nottingham and Eastbourne.
Dudeney has been one of the stars of the season so far, winning four ITF singles titles already in 2026. The 22-year-old got her first grass court win over Himeno Sakatsume at the Lexus Ilkley Open and is aiming for a maiden WTA Tour victory.
Klugman secured her first tour-level win at the Lexus Nottingham Open this year, defeating compatriot Dart in straight sets before losing to Marie Bouzkova. The 17-year-old is a former junior Roland Garros singles runner-up and made doubles finals at Wimbledon and the Australian Open.
