Wildcards for Kyrgios, Jay Clarke, Alex Ward, James Ward.

Evo going to have to go through qualifying again.

 

NICK KYRGIOS TO JOIN TOP BRIT WILDCARDS FOR FUZION 100 SURBITON TROPHY

 

World No.23 Nick Kyrgios is set to join a field of top British talent at the Fuzion 100 Surbiton Trophy, a British Tennis event, taking place from 2 - 10 June.

Australian Kyrgios, 22, will join Jay Clarke, Alex Ward and James Ward, who have been awarded wildcards for the ATP Challenger event.

Meanwhile, Harriet Dart, Katy Dunne and Katie Swan receive wildcards for the ITF Pro Circuit womens event.

Nineteen-year-old Jay Clarke from Derby, currently ranked 224, is rapidly establishing himself on the pro tour whilst Northamptons Alex Ward, ranked 327 proved his prowess on grass by qualifying for Wimbledon in 2017. Londoner James Ward recently made a huge step forward in  his comeback from knee surgery in 2017 thanks to his runner-up position at the Loughborough Trophy, he is now ranked 403.

Londoner Harriet Dart, ranked 203, reached the semifinals at the 2017 Surbiton Trophy and also recently won an ITF Pro Circuit title in April.   Hertfordshires Katy Dunne and Bristols Katie Swan have both reached reached career-high rankings this week, Dunne at 212 and Katie Swan at 237.

The ATP Challenger and ITF Womens Pro Circuit events run simultaneously at the Surbiton Racket and Fitness Club and are the first of the series of British grass court events which lead into The Championships, Wimbledon.

The Fuzion 100 Surbiton Trophy, featuring 32 singles qualifying draws followed by 32 singles main draws, as well as 16 pair doubles draws for both men and women provides the perfect start to the grass court season and will also feature former Wimbledon champion Lleyton Hewitt who has been awarded a wildcard into the doubles draw.

The 2017 singles titles were won by Japans Yuichi Sugita and Slovakias Magdalena Rybarikova, the Slovak beat Heather Watson in the final and went on to reach the semi-finals at Wimbledon.

There will also be fun for all the family at the Surbiton Racket & Fitness Club with the opportunity to get on court and play for free across the weekend of 2nd and 3rd June as well as great food and the chance to relax and watch the stars of tennis up close.

 

Edit:  just tidying up the thread title format - amending the amount of prize money at stake.

Frankly, given Evo's antics at Surbiton a couple of years ago there's no surprise he's only in qualis - it's amazing they even let him in at all.

And that's even as a big fan of Dan's cry

Where is that info coming from, the LTA are showing him as top ranked entry on the list.

By the way, Jay is now showing as a WC.  

 

Edit - I see Stuart Fraser is reporting it on Twitter, doubles only as Wolf says

https://mobile.twitter.com/stu_fraser

So one WC still left

Wondering where Liam is. He was reported as having entered and being just a shade below the cut off I would have thought he would be first up for a WC and yet he is nowhere on the list now. I guess it is possible they are holding off for withdrawals to see if he makes the cut but it is starting to look like he has withdrawn.

No sign of Ryan Storrie here or in the other recent Challengers either.

Am afraid his ankle scar tissue injury has flared up again, and/or other issues which seem to be bothering him are not resolved.

Do hope he's OK.

Anyone still in Roland Garros by tomorrow eve will be withdrawn (which I can see 5 people at least off the top of my head which are still in) and I highly doubt anyone will use the two SE's. I'm sure he'll make the main draw without wild cards.

Hmm, for the women at least they just appear to have added the WCs to a very out of date MD list prior to many withdrawals.

James Ward gets a WC despite already using 3. Must be different rules for ATP compared to ITF.

ATP Rules: -
1) Singles. Players may accept up to five (5) main draw singles wild cards into ATP World Tour tournaments during any ATP Circuit Year. Wild cards shall only count toward the annual limit if the player would have been a direct acceptance on the original acceptance list. Additional exceptions are outlined below.

a) Players who cannot participate in ATP World Tour tournaments and ATP Challenger Tour tournaments for six (6) months because of a physical injury may petition ATP for one additional wild card.

 so is my reading of that correct - if you would have been below direct acceptance on the original list, you have unlimited numbers of wildcards in that situation. Albeit point one talks about world tour , not challenger- does it apply at both levels ( point 2 covers both levels ). Not sure the ATP have made that entirely clear!
