RE: Wimbledon wild cards


This means Josh and James will lose alot of point from Eastbourne, also who are they going to give the Eastbourne wildcards too now, seeing as most of our guys are playing Wimby qualies?!?! Or they can do an Evo like Auckland/Aus Open?

Just saw the list of WC's. What a load of Boll*cks!

When i ever go to Wimbledon, (about 3rd or 4th day) if theres any brits left ;) they are definitely the crowd pullers. I dont get giving these WC's go to blo*dy foreigners who arent heard of and wont really want to be watched.

Who will the last three go to??

Boggo even if he does lose to Dimitrov should.
Probably no other brits.
Inglot?
Whats Slabinsky gonna do?
Bloomers?

One good thing could come of this believe it or not. These players could play Eastbourne.

Can someone clarify if those playing Wimbledon qualifying, can recieve Eastbourne Wildcards too? Or even do Eastbourne qualifying? Kinda like what Lammer did against Evo in Auckland, won his first round after qualifying then withdrew from Australian Open qualifying?

Im not sure whats happened to Evo, he cant really get a MD one, but he cant be left out of qualifying either.

You do kind of wonder whether Boggo and Dimi are effectively having a one set play-off for a MD WC tomorrow ...

If it's that's close to call, you'd think they'd give it to Boggo, as a) Dimi's just had a Queens WC and b) who would the paying public want to watch?

I'd give the three remaining to Berankis, Mahut and Boggo but what do i know. Quite dissapointed the likelihood is we'll only be seeing two players aside from Murray in Wimby

Evo not getting even a QWC is odd. The LTA must really have a downer on him... Probably the highest form of praise, though, the LTA not rating you.

Nishikori is only nine out of making it by rights, and with probably five or six players already out injured, may get in without the use of the wild card anyway, but probably not too surprising to see him get one.

Kuznetzov as the boys champion is another one that makes sense given the trend over the past few years.

Gabashvili seems to fit the bill as the player who has a good run in one event heading into the tournament and thus must get a wild card... don't think it's a great decision, but given the lack of candidates, perhaps not surprising.

Kiefer... I may be on my own here but I can understand his wild card and do like watching him as a player, and is only ranked so low becuase of injury (although he was on his way down before injury). He has a good game for grass and could win a few rounds, so may end up deserving it.

Of the remaining three... Tomic I expect to get one, and maybe Harrison as well. Boggo may get the other one if he beats Dimitrov and then Lalo, but otherwise, no idea who will get one.




Must say I see it pretty much like FD.  I surprise myself in not having much problem with the announced WCs.

Of these that remain, like a broken record, I'd say Boggo should get one, would be quite happy with Tomic, not so sure about Harrison.

I see Evo is on the entry list for the qualifying play-offs.  I've maybe at times not been Evo's' greatest supporter, but that seems ridiculous.  I am presuming there are reasons outside simple tennis results for this as the LTA do suggest they look at other things.  Or is Evo simply a new guy that the LTA intend to treat as totally disgracefully as they have Boggo for years ?

weird thing is this rejection of evo comes on the back of a weekend of his best performances for a while, its as if they have given up on him at 20 years old!! pathetic

I do note that there are so far a total of 8 main and qualifying British WCs.

If all these are LTA recommendations then that is the number that they said they would recommend.
I remain in hope that Boggo will get a main draw one somehow  please.gif
