1 discretionary wild card from the LTA Performance Team

* Acceptance criteria will be in order of WTA/ATP ranking, followed by ITF World Tennis ranking of 1500 or better, on 17 June.  Players without a WTA/ATP ranking or ITF World Tennis ranking of 1500 or better will be ordered according to LTA rating (followed by LTA Open ranking where same rating) on 17 June.

The final two players from each of the men's and women's events will be guaranteed wild cards into the Wimbledon Qualifying competition.

 that is an excellent summary, thanks.

 

To anyone that is good at creating these things, is it worth having a specific thread in mens and womens for these events as I am sure there will be lots of discussions going on?

We can do a new thread once the draw has been made - I thought about it earlier, but it wasn't worth doing it since the entries were related to the actual QWC's.

Crazy how the Wimbledon wildcards are only announced today, less than a week before the tournament commences. Zero time for players awarded to plan & prepare. This needs to be done more professionally - 6 weeks in advanced.

Very OTT Cam. 2 weeks before the qualifying entry list even comes out and before the grass season starts eh, and pretty consistent with the other Slams. Crazy is the word.

Today's announcement and play-off entry and draw is all too compacted but otherwise maybe well into last week at best.

Any earlier ( though then what about Paul this very week ) and you'ed have to leave spaces ( err if you weren't leaving spaces anyway ) for late performances. Form grass players are useful WCs! So they could probably only really announce players that would largely expect them anyway.

Nice to hear from you mate, try harder next time ...

 I think Ryan Peniston and Brydan Klein are possibly two who might feel they could have had a qualifying wild card and I would make them favourites to get through the play offs

Yes, I would think Brydan and Ryan are favourites to come through the play-offs if in seperate halves. Lloyd is due to be the 2nd seed after Brydan ( well, assuming Alex Ward doesn't turn up ). 

If they land in the same half then one is definitely out, with no wriggle room for an additional Q WC.

All the more reason to upgrade Jack to MDWC and have another QWC in hand !!

Both Jack and Emma Rad should have got MD WCs, in my view.

Baghdatis - playing the Hurlington Exho next week which has links to Tim Henman's foundation I think. Stu Fraser on Twitter said Baggy asked for the WC as it will be his last year (although a few replies to the tweet seemed to refute this)
