The ATP says a new men's grass-court tournament will be held in Turkey next year as a warm-up to Wimbledon.

The tournament will be held in Antalya from June 25-July 1. It will feature a 28-player singles event and 16-pair doubles draw and offer 482,000 ($A752,000) in prize money.

Seven grass courts will be built at the Kaya Palazzo Belek hotel resort under the guidance of Wimbledon's All England Club.

It's the latest addition to the grass-court season following the introduction of a three-week gap between the French Open and Wimbledon.

Also next year, the grass-court tournament in Nottingham, England, will return to Eastbourne and take place the same week as the Turkish event.
