Emma Raducanu has ramped up her Wimbledon preparations by adding another tournament to her grass-court schedule.
The former British no.1 has taken a wild card entry into the Berlin Open, which takes place from June 16-22.
The tournament clashes with the Nottingham Open, but Berlin offers more ranking points and bigger prize money.
Raducanu will begin her grass campaign at the new WTA event at Queen’s Club before heading to Germany the following week.
She will face stiff competition in Berlin, with world No.1 Aryna Sabalenka leading a packed field which features nine of the top 10 women’s players.
Naomi Osaka has also been given a wild card to play.
Wimbledon starts on Monday, June 30, and Raducanu will be hoping to improve upon her joint-best effort at the grand slam from last year, when she reached the fourth round, only to be knocked out by qualifier Lulu Sun.
Before that, Raducanu is focused on her game on clay ahead of the French Open, with the Brit in action at the Internationaux de Strasbourg, where she takes on American Danielle Collins in the round of 16.
