Seven British players – Jack Draper, Emma Raducanu, Katie Boulter, Sonay Kartal, Jacob Fearnley, Cameron Norrie and Billy Harris – are all ranked high enough to receive direct entry into the 128-player singles draws.

On Wednesday, wildcards were given to seven British men’s players with one spot to be confirmed over the next fortnight.

Men’s singles wildcards: Jay Clarke, Oliver Crawford, Dan Evans, George Loffhagen, Johannus Monday, Jack Pinnington Jones, Henry Searle.

All eight wildcards in the women’s draw were announced, with a third promising teenager – 17-year-old Welsh player Mimi Xiu – joining Stojsavljevic and Klugman.

Women’s singles wildcards: Jodie Burrage, Harriet Dart, Francesca Jones, Hannah Klugman, Petra Kvitova, Mika Stojsavljevic, Heather Watson, Mimi Xu.

The wildcards are chosen at the discretion of the Wimbledon committee.

“Wildcards are usually offered on the basis of past performance at Wimbledon or to increase British interest,” the tournament said.
