LONDON (AP)—Kim Clijsters and Caroline Wozniacki will begin their grass-court seasons at Eastbourne.
Clijsters celebrated her return to professional tennis following a two-year layoff with victory at the 2009 U.S. Open, where the 26-year-old Belgian beat Wozniacki in the final.
Clijsters, who won the title at Eastbourne in 2005, said the tournament would provide her with solid preparation for Wimbledon.
The fourth-ranked Wozniacki won her first grass-court title in Eastbourne last year. The 19-year-old Dane said she's looking forward to defending her title at Devonshire Park.
The event begins June 12.
