Wimbledon 2025: Over 56 British players set to compete including Jack Draper, Emma Raducanu & wild cards
• 2 MINUTE READ
The recipients of wild cards for The Championships, Wimbledon, have been revealed, with an array of British talent set to feature on the courts of SW19, meaning over 56 domestic players are set to compete across the main draw and qualifying this year.
A mix of established names and the next generation of British tennis stars have been awarded entry to the main draw of The Championships, for which qualifying begins on the 23 June, and main draw gets underway on the 30 June.
Alongside Jack Draper, Jacob Fearnley, Cam Norrie, and Billy Harris gaining direct entry to the men’s singles, Dan Evans will compete in his 10th Wimbledon main draw after beating Frances Tiafoe to secure his best win by ranking since the Davis Cup in Manchester in 2023 at the HSBC Championships this week.
Other men joining Evans in being awarded wild cards are the 2023 boys’ singles champion Henry Searle, Jay Clarke, Jack Pinnington Jones, Johannus Monday, George Loffhagen, and Oliver Crawford.
On the women’s side, Emma Raducanu, Katie Boulter and Sonay Kartal all gain direct entry, with Kartal returning a year after becoming the first British woman to reach the third round as a qualifier since 1997.
After her run to the French Open girls’ singles final, Hannah Klugman will make her senior grand slam main draw debut, after falling one step short reaching the final round of qualifying last year. Fellow rising stars Mimi Xu and 2024 US Open girls’ singles champion Mika Stojsavljevic will join Klugman, along with Francesca Jones, Harriet Dart, Jodie Burrage and Heather Watson.
For qualifying, five Brits receive wild cards in each of the men’s and women’s draws. Arthur Fery, Oliver Tarvet, Ryan Peniston, Paul Jubb, and 2025 Lexus 18U Junior National Champion Oliver Bonding take the men’s spots, whilst Amarni Banks, Lily Miyazaki, Ella McDonald, Amelia Rajecki, and Ranah Stoiber take the women’s.
After completing the career singles grand slam in 2024, Alfie Hewett will return to defend his men’s wheelchair singles crown, with Gordon Reid joining him with direct entry.
Ben Bartram and Dahnon Ward have received wild cards to the men’s wheelchair singles, British No.1 and two Lucy Shuker and Cornelia Oosthuizen receive wild cards to the women’s wheelchair singles, and Greg Slade receives one to take his place alongside fellow 2024 Paralympic silver medallist Andy Lapthorne in the Quad Wheelchair draw.
