Wimbledon Wildcards - Men

Spectator · All-time great

If the Skupskis, who have been on the verge of qualifying for this year's Grand Slams on merit, were not to get a MD WC to their home slam, I would despair entirely of the justice of the WC system in the UK.

anyone want to hazzard a guess at the mens singles WCS?

When do these normally get announced?!
From an article by Paul Newman in today's Standard:
A Wimbledon committee were meeting on Tuesday to decide on their wild cards. An announcement will be made tomorrow [i.e. Wednesday] when Britain's Marcus Willis, who met Federer in the second round last year, will hope for a free pass into the main draw.

Thank you SC!

I would actually completely agree with that other than James Ward will at least get a QWC

Oops, temporarly managed to forget James. Yes Q WC for James, as I have actually said elsewhere. So completely completely agree

Why not use up all WQ WC for British players including Jonny Omara, Neil Pauffley , Peter Bothwell

think Jonny & Scott Clayton & Skupski Bros deserve a doubles maindraw WC

Bloomin heck, I couldn't really believe James would get a MD WC. Jimmy09 did say he would "at least get a Q WC" so a bit more in tune with LTA think.

Jaffa · Challenger level

First thought is how the f*ck has James Ward got one over Jay Clarke?

The rest of it I agree with though that said.

indiana · Tennis legend

Well we got the right 8 in total, although I don't think it was that difficult.

Q WC is right for Marcus although I rather thought he would get a MD one. Jay I was less sure he would get a MD one though to me more merited one than Marcus.

And again yes to "how the f*ck has James ..."

Totally agree with Indy and Jaffa
