Our very own, Emma Raducanu, takes Nottingham wild card to begin her grass-court campaign in the WTA main draw.
The reigning US Open champion is set to make her second appearance at the tournament where she made her WTA Tour debut only a year ago. With convincing wins against the likes of former Grand Slam champion Sloane Stephens, and experienced clay-courter Tereza Martincova, the 19-year-old enters the grass-court season as a well-rounded, better experienced player.
Joining her will be British No.2, Heather Watson and Harriet Dart - who broke into the WTA top 100 for the first time this year.
Wild cards have also been awarded to Surbiton Trophy semi-finalist Jodie Burrage and rising star Sonay Kartal, who has lifted four ITF titles on home soil this year.
Onto the men’s main draw where Great Britain boasts quite the selection, with six countrymen announced in the line-up as former champion Dan Evans returns alongside fellow Brits, Liam Broady, Jay Clarke and Ryan Peniston.
Evans’ season opener went off with a bang after big wins over Denis Shapovalov and John Isner at the ATP Cup, followed by a successful run at the Sydney Tennis Classic where he progressed to the semi-finals.
This year's wild cards include Paul Jubb, who won his first ATP Challenger event earlier this year, and Alastair Gray, who has impressed with a couple of ITF singles titles in 2022.
There are also several Brits in qualifying this year including Katie Boulter, Lily Miyazaki and Eden Silva, among a strong British field.
