Grand Slam Wimbledon 2024

Starting this thread now that qualies are done

Bolt and Gadecki are into the main draw after winning last rounds of qualifying.

Alex Bolt was a last min stand-in for qualies. Big money and points for him.

Tomljanovic got a well-deserved WC to the main draw. Wimbledon is the bet grand slam in terms of Wild Cards. They dont all go to homegrown journeymen.

Aussies always outperform their rank on grass. Hopefully, we can get a couple through to the 3rd round.

To be fair though, some of these English players have earnt it with their form leading into Wimbledon

Jubb has been a surprise with his run the last week on the ATP tour

Fearnley a talented player who has been great and Harris has had a few decent weeks

Jesus, why are there so many big names in the womens wildcards?

What's the equivalent of Henman Hill or Murray Mound going to be for Draper? Big game and he will be dangerous on grass.

Bolt drawing Casper Ruud gave me a chuckle.

Looks like a lot of winnable first round going through the draw

De Minaur vs Duckworth. lol.

Incredibly easy draw from Djokovic. I’d be shocked if he doesn’t make the final.
