AEGON International 2013: Schedule, Live Stream, TV Info and Predictions
A handful of tennis' best players will be on display in Eastbourne this week, taking part in one of the most anticipated grass-court tournaments of the season, the 2013 AEGON International.
With the 2013 Wimbledon Championships right around the corner, time is running out for players to find their groove on the faster-playing grass. Not everyone will make a smooth transition from red clay, but there are a number of notable contenders who will thrive on the faster-playing surface this summer.
None of the big names will be in action this week. Instead, many are looking to rest up and recover for the most coveted Grand Slam event on the season schedule, Wimbledon.

Predictions
Andreas Seppi Will Make Another Deep Run
Seventh-seeded Italian Andreas Seppi is coming off a third-round exit at the French Open, but he'll be happy to return this week to the grass where he won his first ATP singles title in 2011.
The 29-year-old has had his fair share of struggles on this surface, never getting further than the third round at Wimbledon, but he's figured out this tournament following two straight opening-round defeats in 2009 and 2010.
The men's draw features some serious contenders, including top seeds Milos Raonic and Gilles Simon, but Seppi has been a constant over the past two years at this event, winning it all in 2011 and reaching the final before losing to Andy Roddick in 2012.
Roddick, the defending champion, has since retired, opening the door for Seppi to win his second title in three years.
Agnieszka Radwanska Set to Win Second Title at Devonshire
Despite bowing out in the quarterfinals of the French Open earlier this month, world No. 4 Agnieszka Radwanska will enter this week's Wimbledon warm-up with momentum.
The 24-year-old had never been past the fourth round at Roland Garros prior to this summer, and she's always been a steady grass-court player. She won this tournament five years ago as a teenager and reached the Wimbledon final in 2012.
Radwanska enters the women's draw this year as the top-seeded player, which means she won't have to contend with either Serena Williams, Maria Sharapova or Victoria Azarenka this week.
Therefore, look for Radwanska to play her best tennis. She was seeded fourth here when she won for the first time five years ago, dropping just two sets total on her way to claiming her first grass-court championship.
