MUMBAI: Zee Sports will telecast one of the most prestigious women’s events in world, WTA Eastbourne. Taking place from 19 to 24 June 2006 and finishing just 48 hours before the start of Wimbledon. The importance of this US$ 6,00,00 tournament goes without saying, as it offers players a last opportunity to fine tune their game on grass before taking to the courts of the All England Club. Zee Sports telecast of the tournament will start from Quarter Finals onwards.
