Johanna Konta: British number one returns to Nottingham Open

British number one Johanna Konta will play all three grass Wimbledon warm-up events on home soil in 2017.

Konta, the first British woman to reach the top 10 in the world rankings in 32 years, has confirmed her place at the Aegon Open in Nottingham and will then play in Birmingham and Eastbourne.

The 25-year-old world number 10 said: "The grass court season is one of my favourites.

"This series of tournaments ahead of Wimbledon provides great preparation."

She added: "Tournaments like Birmingham, Eastbourne, and Nottingham have such an incredible history, you just need to look at the roll of honour to see that, and you can sense that when you step on court.
