Lexus Eastbourne Open | Player Guide
Welcome to the Eastbourne Open!
On behalf of the LTA, I’d like to offer a very warm welcome to you all. This year marks the 50 years since the tournament was founded and Devonshire Park has witnessed many special moments over those five decades. It is a milestone that we are all very proud to achieve and I hope you enjoy celebrating with us!
Myself and my team are here to help you to have the best week you can and prepare successfully for Wimbledon.
Our Player Services Team of Debbie Ormston, Sophie Stevens, Huw David and Max Beech are here to help you with anything you need during your stay.

Under the revised "Reduced Rate Tax Withholding Application" the amount earned by any non-UK resident player before tax is £12,570 from 6 April 2024 to 5 April 2025. Once a non-UK resident player's earnings exceed this amount, all prize money earned from LTA events will be subject to a 20% withholding tax deduction.
When tax is deducted on-site Player Services will complete a FEU2 form showing details of prize money earned and tax withheld. A copy of FEU2 form will be provided to players during event and players should retain this for their tax agent / manager. A duplicate copy cannot be issued. The LTA will be responsible for paying the tax withheld over to the UK Tax Authority.
