Defending Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova has pulled out of the Aegon International with illness.
The 25-year-old Czech was due to start her Wimbledon preparations in the second round at Eastbourne on Tuesday.
But the number one seed will now go to the All England Club without playing any competitive grass-court tennis, having not played since her fourth-round exit in the French Open.
"I have a sore throat. I have to stay in bed, drink tea and rest," she said.
