The women’s draw will feature four of the top five-ranked British women’s players next week, including former US Open champion Raducanu.
Raducanu is coming off the back of reaching the semi-finals at the HSBC Championships this week and is a former semi-finalist at the Lexus Nottingham Tennis Centre.
Boulter is also riding high after securing the biggest win of her career over world No.2 Elena Rybakina on her way to reaching the semi-finals at The Queen’s Club. Boulter will be looking forward to a return to the tournament where she's had the most success in her career.
Jones has recently won her first Grand Slam match at Roland Garros and beat Venus Williams at the Miami Open earlier this season. The 25-year-old Brit reached a career-high of world No.68 back in February.
Meanwhile, Dart got her debut win at Queen’s last week and has had some of the best results of her career on grass, previously reaching quarter-finals in Nottingham, Birmingham, and Eastbourne.
On the men’s side, Gill picked up his first career ATP Challenger win on grass at the Lexus Birmingham Open a few weeks ago, and is enjoying a stellar season in which he’s reached a first Challenger-level final.
Tarvet was one of the stories of the summer last year, winning on his Wimbledon debut to set up a matchup with two-time champion Carlos Alcaraz. After a year competing in the NCAA, he’s making an impression once again on the grass.
Finally, grass court veteran Harris will certainly be one to watch. A former ATP 250 semi-finalist in Eastbourne and coming off the back of a good win in Ilkley, he’ll be looking to go far in Nottingham.
