Tournament Director, Anders Borg said: “Virginia Wade is one of the great iconic figures of British tennis, and I’m delighted to be welcoming her to Liverpool this summer.
Wade will be joining a star line up of tennis greats already confirmed for the tournament such Fabrice Santoro , Peter Fleming , Peter McNamamra, Anders Jarryd, Jounes Alanoui , barry cowan and former Wimbeldon referee Alan Mills.
