Wimbledon Wildcards - Men

True - I think the point was made not so much as a fit of pique but not worth playing 6 matches for possibly no points, focus on an event he can More realistically earn ranking points from. Wish I could recall where I read it, not sure. But in that case, Lta having given him one to Queens may struggle not to for Eastbourne. Or Eastbourne qualies. Could be wrong of course!

My issue is really the hypocrisy of it all. Whatever your crime, once you've done your sentence, you should be free to start again. Dans proven he's our best player outside the directly qualified players.

Marin cilic seemed to be forgiven pretty quickly.

Shame on Wimbledon

I think Dan previously suggested if he was still in Queen's he will have to give the play offs a miss. I'm sure he'll play now.

quite possible I confused myself! And confused Dan with Andy as well who said something similar!

I was right about Isaac Stoute getting a quali play-off wildcard........the LTA trying to make up for old misdemeanors???

And the college boys whihc was more obvious., Luke J and Jack FH

Also, wildcards for Finn, Patrick Foley and Neil P

How did Evan Hoyt (GB24) get in above Neil P (GB19) ?

Dan and Ed to win Id say, Im sure most will predict the same. No payday for Marcus who has banked over 80k in the last 2 years from Wimbledon before the rest his add ons. Thats got to hurt him but you have to wonder if there are other reasons we dont know about for why he never kicked on.

Will Sue Barker ask Henman live on BBC why Dan was not given a wildcard?

Herman is becoming the new Andrew Castle for me. In fact most of the BBC team do my head in. The Eurosport guys are far more knowledgable than Henman, Castle, Becker etc. Id take Greg over Tim anyday. Also rather have Jamie Baker, Anne Keothavong, Naomi Cavaday etc doing more commentary.

Henman is the classic toff out of touch with reality, he is really starting to annoy me. Can see exactly why he is in there, meets the criteria perfectly.

.....one member of the establishment to another ? Nah, never happen.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Yes. I don't like time henmans commentary either. Jim courier is my favourite. Jamie baker is good. Don't like Anne k.

Because if she won't, she should be immediately be replaced by someone who will
