Andy Murray has taken a wildcard entry for the Nottingham Open to continue his grass-court preparations for Wimbledon.

Murray has opted to play in Nottingham instead of Stuttgart to cut down on travel but also because the surface is similar to both Queen's and Wimbledon.

BBC Sport brings you live coverage of the event from Monday as Evans bids to retain the men's title.

World number 25 Evans also accepted a wildcard to the Challenger event as he seeks to find his best form before heading to SW19 in July.

Evans, who lost in the second round of the Surbiton Trophy, is the highest ranked player in the event.

He is joined by fellow Britons Liam Broady and Jan Choinski as well as Murray, who has reached the semi-finals at Surbiton this week and faces Australia's Jordan Thompson on Saturday for a place in the final.

World number eight Maria Sakkari of Greece headlines the WTA event in Nottingham.

World number 19 Magda Linette of Poland, who reached the semi-finals at this year's Australian Open, also plays.

Former Nottingham champion Donna Vekic, the world number 22, is another player to watch.

British number one Emma Raducanu will not be there following surgery on her hands and ankle.

How can I follow the coverage?

Matches will be streamed every day from 11:20 BST on BBC iPlayer, the BBC Sport website and app and the BBC Red Button.

The tournament concludes on Sunday, 18 June.

The BBC also has live coverage of the grass-court events at Birmingham, Queen's and Eastbourne, and there will be comprehensive coverage of Wimbledon across the BBC from 3 to 16 July.
