Sue Barker with coverage of the International Women's Open where it's semi-finals day. From next year, Eastbourne will feature a men's tournament as well so the women will have to share the spotlight. Last year, it shone on defending champion Justine Henin, who breezed through her semi-final against Marion Bartoli.
However, French player Bartoli got her revenge less than a fortnight later, shocking the world number one in the last four at Wimbledon. Henin retired from the game just before this year's French Open - 2007 Wimbledon semi-finalist Ana Ivanovic will be among the star names at Eastbourne hoping to profit from her absence.
