Huey/Inglot may have got in on their own merrit, they did for Roland Garros and there are still a further 3 Wildcards so Im sure they will probs get it.

How many qualy WC's are given out?

Thinking Bloomers, Burton?

Theyve seemed to have gone all out juniors for qualifying which of course is good for experience but theyve got to take the responsibility when potentially none of them win, all way out of their depth in my opinion

8 qualy Wildcards, you have the playoffs for 2 places so a further 2 are given out in which one may go to Bloomers for his run at Nottingham maybe!

lol i think that's true but for a low ranked player he's quite a big name still to draw in crowds...

Dom confirmed in an interview with John Inverdale on ITV4 during the first week of the French Open that he would be competing at Wimbledon, I assumed at the time with TCH (& with Laura Robson in the mixed), so I doubt that they actually need a wild card.

I dislike Hewitt, but don't forget he's a previous champion (2002).

when do they decide the last main draw wc? It'll probably go to Brian Baker.

So Rice and Thornley passed over again ( so far ) for main draw doubles WCs, in spite of continuing to advance their rankings and both now being in the top 200 with David being out for quite a few weeks. I thought the 250 guideline applied to doubles as well for an all British pair confuse

Well, last year they just kept their heads down and just went and qualified.

what about evans i thought at least a qwc

steven · Tennis legend

7 Brits in the top 600 in the QWC playoffs (and that's with Boggo not entering, Dan Cox injured and Bloomers & Corrie otherwise engaged in Nottingham!) - eek!
