Rain washed out the opening day of play at the Eastbourne International and Wimbledon qualifying events on Monday.

Play was abandoned shortly after 15:00 BST at the men's and women's event at Eastbourne, which is taking place a week before the start of Wimbledon.

Meanwhile, British number two Cameron Norrie - who reached the Queen's final on Sunday - withdrew from Eastbourne.

"My body needs more time to recover so that I can be fully fit for Wimbledon," said 25-year-old Norrie.

Wimbledon qualifying, which was also scheduled to start on Monday, was called off for the day just before 17:00 BST.
