Dont want thiem to get one, Should have done what Roland Garros did given he has no pedigree on grass

Also would like them to take the winners prize money from 2.7 m to 2 and the semi finals from 1.4 to 1 and then re allocate it to the first 3 rounds as well as qualifying but these r just my opinions

I agree. No-one is going to say they're not entering the tournament because they only get £2 million for winning!

Billy is surely a main draw wild card now. Surely if Charlie or Jake got the title in Nottingham, theyd be given one?

I thought the winners of Surbiton, Nottingham and Ilkley were all awarded one? Have I got that wrong?

Normally it is the case, but the women is slightly different this year with so many GS winners needing wildcards

Madadman · Masters Series Champion

Been trying to work out where the wildcards will be going, got to this so far. Although doesnt include a space for the winner of Ilkley. Think this is the toughest its been to choose for a few years.
