Kyle Edmund to continue Wimbledon preparations with Eastbourne wildcard

British number one Kyle Edmund will continue his Wimbledon preparations at Eastbourne after being awarded a wildcard to the tournament.

Britons Dan Evans and Jay Clarke also have wildcards, along with Heather Watson, Harriet Dart and Katie Swan.

French Open semi-finalist Johanna Konta and British number two Cameron Norrie will also play the grass-court event.

Andy Murray announced earlier this week that he will play doubles with Brazilian Marcelo Melo.

Edmund retired from the French Open with a knee injury against Uruguayan Pablo Cuevas last month and made his competitive return this week at Queen's, where he lost to top seed Stefanos Tsitsipas in the first round.
