LTA confirms Davis Cup hero James Ward will play Aegon Open Nottingham ATP event in June

Ward has been in the spotlight recently thanks to his Davis Cup performances for Great Britain, including a stunning comeback against world number 20 John Isner, helping GB to a victory over the USA in Glasgow.

He will face another world class player field this summer, as Nottingham welcomes back some of the best in the world as they prepare for The Championships, Wimbledon.

The Aegon Open Nottingham will see two tournaments take place in June, the women’s WTA event from 8th to 14th June 2015, and the men’s ATP event from 22nd to 28th June 2015. Both tournaments will be an integral part of the new British grass court season, which in 2015 will see a three week window between Roland Garros and Wimbledon for the very first time.

The extended grass court season will enable some of the world’s very best players extra time to find their feet on grass and make the most of the very best grass-courts in the country.

Looking forard to the event Ward said: “I am really looking forward to returning to Nottingham this year for the Aegon Open Nottingham.”

“It is a great venue with fantastic grass courts that I know well.”
