EASTBOURNE, England (AP) - Former Wimbledon champions Amelie Mauresmo and Lindsay Davenport will play the Wimbledon tuneup event in Eastbourne.

The Eastbourne tournament is played the week before Wimbledon, which runs June 23-July 6.

Mauresmo won Wimbledon in 2006 and Davenport in 1999.

Also Thursday, organizers of the DFS Classic, another Wimbledon warmup in Birmingham, said that Jelena Jankovic will defend her title in the event from June 9-15.
