Wimbledon wildcards 2023 - women

Andy Parker · Club Coach

Just noticed no sign of Lily anywhere - intriguing - does she have a chance of the remaining wild card place I wonder? I have just remembered though that her singles ranking ensures an automatic slot in qualifying, so probably non-story.

Do you think that means Eden and Emily App etc will be playing the Play-offs?

I'd be most surprised if they didn't play. Neither is still in tournaments this week.

I would think that they would be joined by Naiktha and Anna plus others on the list posted before.

Freya may be the one to miss out as she is still in doubles in Birmingham and not scheduled to play today.

I assume Lily made it into qualifying by right (although her ranking has now dropped away from around 200)

Good set of wild cards I think, with the final one being held to see who winners etc... are in this week's events. And as an outside shot Sonay's could be upgraded if she maybe makes the final and loses to a player already in?

I'm pleased to see the young girls in qualies, although perhaps slightly surprised two more weren't given out to the girls around the 300-350 mark (Eden and Emily A say), but means we will have a very strong pre-qualifying competition which is great.

I suspect Lissey and Liv should sneak into the draw directly when entries close on Friday, although I don't imagine the AELTC to hand out any more. Very pleased for Ali and Freya, and while thrilled for Em A like you CD I'm not convinced Jodie is the best partner for her aw if there's any risks with Jodie's ankle I'd rather she didn't play doubles at all (although to be fair her choices were fairly limited based on the criteria if they wouldn't just let her play with Lohoff, which they should have done). Obviously personally disappointed not to see EWS on there for a final hurrah but she was never going to be given she wasn't favoured when she was ranked far higher and in decent form in the past. We'll need to see who they entered with but EWS/Eden would have struck me a sensible all-GB pairing to at least be on the peripheral of the radar.

Glad the main 5 got in. Stress over, focus on this week and Eastbourne.

No disrespect to Jodie, but personally I think it's disappointing that they didn't allow Emily App to play with her regular partner rather than making her pair up with another Brit.

Good to have all British doubles partnerships. But there is too much emphasis as against good established pairs.

It was absolutely ridiculous the hoops Lloyd & Harri had to go through last year to get a Queen's WC ( when they had had such success together and both were top 50 ). Lloyd & Harri then went on to reach the final.

I thought Millie Rajecki would get a Q WC.

Yes, me too.

And I was expecting Marni to get one too....

For the play-offs, Ciara Moore has earned herself a spot in play-off

But the other earned one went to Isa Lacy who doesn't need it so that's back in the pot

But there is special consideration for younsters so Ella also most certainly will be in, and maybe Hep? As the second highest youngster not laready in. BUT she's down to play in Frinton this week so maybe not...

Millie presumably gets her spot in play-offs as the top NCAA player? If she's not bumped up to QWC direct...

Womens Wild Cards.

1 wild card from winning the UK Pro League Felixstowe

1 wild card from winning the LTA British Tour Premier West Worthing

2 wild cards for the top 2 GB players on the ITF junior ranking list at 19 June having signed in (if either of the 2 highest ranked juniors have already won U18 Nationals & won a Qualifying wild card then the next highest ranked junior)

Top ranked NCAA player having signed in (subject to the player being in the NCAA top 100).

If any of the above wild cards are not required or accepted the wild card will go back to the LTA Performance Team 1 further discretionary wild card from the LTA Performance Team *

The main draw at Frinton has been made - and Hep is in it and seeded four. She has a first round bye, so is scheduled to play tomorrow (Thursday)

Yes, I know

That's what I meant above when I said I'm not sure she'll be able to take her place in play-offs, given she's down to play at Frinton

But it would seem strange to prioritise Frinton over play-offs.....

Maybe she didn't realise she would be the second highest ranked becuase she didn't realise that Hannah and Mimi would get quali wildcards directly....

Lambda · Challenger level

I posted the field of who would be in the play-offs if they took up their places earlier in the week. Hep isn't eligible for a junior ranking WC. Only Ella and Ranah are. If either of them had a qWC (which as we now know they don't) then only Mimi would have been able to take the junior WC. It goes back to the LTA after that.

Sorry, Lambda - I misread:

"2 wild cards for the top 2 GB players on the ITF junior ranking list at 19 June"

My bad....

Carry on, Hep - enjoy Frinton ! And get some good grass practice for Juniors

the addict · Tennis legend

CD - I thought you meant you knew Hep was on the entry list, but hadnt realised the draw had been made and that she was in it. My bad !

Personally I don't think Ella MacDonald deserves a QWC her form has been woeful for a considerable period. Only her age being a top Junior might sway the QWC she would be better going through the QWC play offs
