Day two: Fery fights into second round
It's been another busy on the South Coast, with plenty of wins coming in for the British and international stars.
In British interest, in-form Arthur Fery fought back from a break down in the decider to reach the second round at Devonshire Park while qualifier Giles Hussey beat world No.35 Matteo Arnaldi to secure his second ATP Tour-level win. However, losses came in for Harriet Dart, Alicia Dudeney and Hamish Stewart.
In international news, former champion Madison Keys got her campaign off to a winning start alongside Tatjana Maria who upset top seed Jasmine Paolini.
Men's
Fery's dream summer continues after the 23-year-old overcame a tough challenge in the form of Roman Andres Burruchaga 6-2, 4-6, 7-5.
The British No.3 - who reached the quarter-finals at the HSBC Championships last week - was trailing 3-1 in the decider but broke the Argentine as he was serving for the match to pull the scoreboard back to 5-5.
With momentum on his side, Fery surged ahead once again, finding a second break to seal the win and set up a second round clash against Juan Manuel Cerundolo in the next roun.
In terms of British wins, qualifier Hussey secured just his second ATP tour-level win after beating fellow qualifier and Roland Garros semi-finalist Arnaldi 6-4, 6-2.
Hussey carved out 12 break point opportunities across the match and converted four to book his spot in the second round. There, he'll face lucky loser Quentin Halys following Joao Fonseca's withdrawal earlier today.
Lucky loser Hamish Stewart - who was drafted in late this morning after Jacob Fearnley withdrew - exited to Thiago Agustin Tirante 7-5, 6-2.
2025 runner-up Jenson Brooksby eased past Aleksandar Vukic and Daniel Altmaier defeated Aleksandar Kovacevic.
While France's Ugo Humbert battled past Italy's Mattia Bellucci 7-6(5), 6-7(1), 6-4 in the last match of the day.
Women's
Two-time champion Keys made a winning return to the Lexus Eastbourne Open after she secured a straight sets victory over Talia Gibson, winning 6-4, 6-4 in an hour and 35 minutes.
Keys dropped just seven points behind her first serve (33/40) across the match and converted half of her break points to move into the second round and extend her win record in Eastbourne to 13-3.
Top seed and former Eastbourne semi-finalist Jasmine Paolini suffered an early upset after being knocked out by 2025 HSBC Championships winner Tatjana Maria 6-4, 6-3.
Paolini struggled on serve throughout the match, and as a result, handed over 16 break point opportunities to the German, who converted just five to move into the next round.
Dart took on Tunisia's Zeynep Sonmez and had the opportunity to serve for the match at 5-3 in the decider but couldn't get over the line as she lost out 4-6, 6-2, 7-5.
British wild card Dudeney also bowed out in the opening round to Spain's Jessica Bouzas Maneiro - losing 6-0, 6-3.

The stage is set for the first day of main draw action at the Lexus Eastbourne Open with five Brits ready for action.
Jack Draper came through his first match since April with a win while Jack Pinnington Jones and Jan Choinski battled through in three sets.
However, Hannah Klugman narrowly missed out on second round spot while Francesca Jones bowed out in straight sets.
Draper put in an encouraging performance after coming back from injury to beat Marcos Giron 6-4, 7-6(5).
The former British No.1 dropped just four points (20/24) behind his serve in the opening set before picking up a break in the final game to take the lead.
Draper took an early lead, racing to 5-2 but a dip in concentration found him broken back and heading to a tie-break. There, he recovered an early mini-break before sealing the win with a forehand winner on his first match point.
Pinnington Jones fought back from a set down to win 5-7, 6-3, 7-5 against lucky loser Marco Trungelliti.
The Brit let a 5-3 lead slip in the opening set but showed impressive resilience to fight back, claiming the crucial break that forced a decider.
Facing defeat at 5-4 in the final set, Pinnington Jones saved a match point before mounting a superb comeback. Despite a tense finish as he served for the match, the Brit eventually converted his fifth match point to complete a hard-fought victory.
Choinski moved past Australia's Alexei Popyrin in his first round match - the Brit won 1-6, 6-2, 6-2.
After struggling through the opener, Choinski raised his game in the final two sets - dropping just 5 points (28/33) behind his first serve as he picked up four breaks to turn the game in his favour.
Elsewhere in the men's competition, eighth seed Juan Manuel Cerundolo moved past Raphael Collignon and Canada's Gabriel Diallo beat Terence Atmane.
Klugman lost out in a tight contest against Tereza Valentova - the Brit lost 7-5, 5-7, 7-5.
The 17-year-old asked questions of the world No.61, as she forced a decider, finding the crucial break in the final game of the second.
She saved 10 of the 19 break points she faced, but Valentova proved to be more clinical in the big moments and took the match on her second ask.
Meanwhile, Jones lost out 6-2, 6-2 to 2021 champion Jelena Ostapenko in an hour and four minutes on Centre Court.
The Latvian looked unstoppable as she picked up a double break in both sets to secure the win - her powerful play helped her drop just 10 points on serve, with 5 of those coming from double faults as she looked for big winners to quickly take the match.
