ROTHESAY INTERNATIONAL EASTBOURNE<br />
WELCOME<br />
Welcome to the Rothesay International!<br />
We are very excited to bring people together to enjoy the<br />
Rothesay Summer Series: the Rothesay Open Nottingham,<br />
Rothesay Classic Birmingham and Rothesay International<br />
<strong>Eastbourne</strong>.<br />
At Rothesay, we’re committed to securing the future of our<br />
825,000 pension policyholders across the country. Which<br />
is why we’ve teamed up with the LTA, who show the same<br />
commitment to the future of British tennis. We share the<br />
LTA’s passion for innovation and excellence, values which<br />
have led us to become the UK’s largest specialist pensions<br />
insurer and a significant investor in important assets such as<br />
social housing, infrastructure and real estate.<br />
The grass court tennis season is one of the great traditions<br />
of the British summer, providing a fantastic opportunity for<br />
British players to compete at home against some of the best<br />
talent in the world. As the LTA’s exclusive pensions partner,<br />
we want to open up tennis to older people, helping everyone<br />
to enjoy tennis at all ages.<br />
Finally, I would like to thank the LTA, the players and the<br />
event staff for making the Rothesay International such a<br />
success and a showcase for international tennis in Britain.<br />
Thank you for joining us, have a great time!<br />
Tom Pearce<br />
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, ROTHESAY<br />
On behalf of the LTA, I am<br />
delighted to welcome you to the<br />
2023 Rothesay International<br />
<strong>Eastbourne</strong> at Devonshire Park.<br />
This is always a special event with strong<br />
playing fields, and I know the players<br />
enjoy the atmosphere here and the unique<br />
surroundings. We’re pleased to once again<br />
be hosting a wheelchair tennis event this<br />
week including both women’s and quad<br />
events.<br />
I’d like to wish very good luck to all the<br />
players, from both Britain and overseas,<br />
who are playing here this week.<br />
I’d also like to thank those we work with<br />
at the WTA, ATP and ITF along with our<br />
commercial partners who make the event<br />
a reality. I’d particularly like to thank<br />
Rothesay for their ongoing support of our<br />
events here, as well as in Nottingham and<br />
Birmingham.<br />
Finally, it’s important to recognise the<br />
contribution of all the officials, volunteers,<br />
staff, and of course fans who do so much<br />
to make this such a welcoming event. If<br />
you’re inspired by what you’ve seen today<br />
tickets are now on sale for the Davis Cup<br />
Group Stages in Manchester in September<br />
via the LTA website.<br />
Best wishes<br />
Scott Lloyd<br />
