From the Roehampton thread:

"I'm sure David will start a proper thread (add: he did ) but seemingly the wildcards for Wimbly junios have been announced, and the boys are:

Blu, Jacob F, Jake H, Emile, Anton, Harry and Connor (and Baez from Argentina, who is junior WR 2 - forgot to enter????)"

 Glad you think the thread is proper smile   It is not uncommon for top juniors to fail to enter slams and, while Wimbledon is tolerant (Belinda Bencic won the tournament in 2013 as a wildcard in that scenario) other slams are less so (Liam Broady for instance missing out on the French Open in 2011 despite appeals for at least a QWC)

Nice to get three Q/LL draws.
Tricky for Blu.
Sad for Tad and James Story - they put in very creditable performances at Roehampton, when they lost in tight matches, too.

Good news for Jack Draper, anyway. Just looked him up out of interest and his previous four Grand Slam draws for the first round were people with career high juniors of 1,1,8 and 21. I know it evens out, yada, yada, but he deserved a bit of a break!
