Beside the Seaside

It’s time to pack the bucket and spade, dig out the sun cream and head for the seaside and the last event before Wimbledon, the Eastbourne International. For many of the players this is the last time to get some time on grass and the mood is changing. As summer evolves the intensity grows. Ceri spends time with the engaging Elise Mertens, and Ash Barty talks about being the current No 1 and Ceri discovers what it takes to become a world number 1 from a host of previous holders of the top spot.
