Yes its confirmed. But 2 qualifying wildcards have not been used and next 2 alts are in.


 Alts confirmed even before the Q WC.play-offs have been concluded? So.definitely just the top 2 from there get in?

Glad hes been included, this must be the strongest showing on the mens side in years

 No reason not to give extra qualifying wild cards to GB men. It's the only Slam not to do it.

An additional Doubles WC has gone to Kyle Edmund & Oliver Crawford. Bit of a strange one if you ask me.

That's a bizarre decision and I would love to know why they are giving it to random ALT's

 Would far rather it had gone to doubles specialists but hey ho.

 I would imagine it's because (a) Kyle is one of the in-crowd, the AELTC know him, he's got friends at the LTA, and (b) they feel a bit guilty about Crawford because, given his ranking, it wouldn't be unreasonable for him to expect a main draw wildcard in singles

It's a real shame that Ben Jones and Josh Paris, both ranked in the Top 200, haven't got a wild card.

Neither have the Murray brothers...

 There is still one Doubles WC left to go. So that could easily go to the Murrays although might be Jamie and someone else if Andy is not fit. Would be interesting to see if they let Jamie pick a non Brit.


Also Henry Searle might be looking for another partner Id Dan is not fit. So Ben or Josh would surely be in the frame if that was the case.
