David, there are two wild card spots left, not three.


Of course Donald shouldn't be getting one, but the AELTC probably loves him.

why can't we give a WC to, say, a frenchman and an aussie in return for one of theirs each?! am sure the aussies would agree to it, makes a lot of sense!

some pretty random doubles partnerships there! At least all those wildcards have gone to Brits which will help out the bank balances a bit. biggrin.gif

Much as it pains me to say it Cilic and Tsonga deserve those last two wildcards. and anyway that list has more brits in it than in recent years so I don't think we can complain that much. Plus, finally Philippoussis hasn't been given one clap.gifclap.gif

In the last few days, Nicolas Mahut has beaten one of last year's Wimbledon semifinalists, the world number 7 and the world number 2.

Yet chances are that he'll have to qualify for Wimbledon.

The only official withdrawal so far is Srichaphan, and Mahut only needs 4 more withdrawals to get in as an alt so he may make it.

I don't think there's any way on earth you can deny Tsonga one. All in all, I'm pretty happy with those and pretty happy with the way the WCs have panned out over the whole grass court season.

Yeah it's been pretty good actually....we're always a bit peeved when any wcs go to foreigners but at least more wcs have gone to Brits than last yr. 3/5 at Queens, 3/3 at Nottingham and 5/8 at Wimbledon is really good.

The only Wimbledon wc I'm disappointed about is Cilic...do we really need to give him more grass practise furious.gif
