Looks like we will have a maximum of 7 qualifying wild cards - http://www.lta.org.uk/Resources/Competition/Wimbledon%20Wild%20Cards%20for%20the%202009%20Championships.pdf

I'm not sure what to say any more - we have an organisation which seems intent in screwing over our players.



 How many qualy wildcards are there in the mens? The women have 8, so if its the same I would hardly calling it "screwing over", particularly if they give it to last years junior champion?

If however the men get 10 wildcards or something, then I can see your point. But even still, 7 wildcards is a lot, particularly if most of them fail to win a set...

There are 9 qualifying WC's for the men, but 1 is automatically given to last year's winner of the boys singles, that being Gregor Dimitrov, so there is actually only 8 WC's that can be given to British players.

And given that Taylor Dent, presuming he isn't injured, would have a decent shout of getting a QWC as well, having 7 for British players isn't that unrealistic.

Cheers FD

don't see how there can be any complaints about 7 QWC's in that case?

Grosjean injured again. Poor guy, I hope he recovers as soon as Wimbledon is over.

It sounds like it was precautionary and he intends to play at Queen's and Wimbledon.

I see... Still, one can keep hoping!


I wish he took this precaution before Coxy's match.

I'd be amazed if Grosjean's injury was anything other than just a precaution as he didn't want to do anything to damage it further ahead of Queens and Wimbledon, and the match against Cox was just to make sure that he can still play at a good level and isn't going to be too injured from playing a match.

Sorry, I was looking at an article from last year. Someone posted it on am.com and obviously I didn't check the date.

Many apoliogies!!!!!!

Should have realised even the LTA couldn't be that stupid!!!
