After all the wins by lucky losers, we end up with an Eastbourne final between two of the top seeds. Second seeded Alex de Minaur takes on Lorenzo Sonego, who is seeded once place below him. Friday saw de Minaur get through to the final with a straight sets victory over Soonwoo Kwon. The Australian is having a consistent warm-up for Wimbledon where he is the 15th seed. He reached the last eight in Stuttgart, the semi-finals in London last week and now he's in the final in Eastbourne. He has had wins this week over Liam Broady, Vasek Pospisil and Soonwoo Kwon, all without dropping a single set. He's chasing his second title of the year but his first ATP tour win on grass.

Lorenzo Sonego also had to beat a lucky loser in the semi-finals. He defeated Max Purcell but had to go to three sets to get the win after dropping the middle set. He's also after his second title of the year, having won a clay court tournament in Cagliari. He's ranked 27th in the world (nine below his opponent) and this week has defeated John Millman and Alexander Bublik in straight sets before his win over Purcell. His heavy serve will cause de Minaur plenty of problems, don't be surprised if there is a tie-break in this match. This could be a close match, slight preference is for de Minaur.
