Right, so people were calling for a Wimbledon thread. So lets start from qualifying for this one, which isn't even the start as pre-qualifying has already happened. Etienne summarised the doings of that on the rolling thread, but the headline news was Dan Evans made it through to take his place in the actual qualifiers. Which was just about as expected. Lloyd Glasspool, Freya Christie and Samantha Murray also claimed spots via these, in addition to discretionary wild cards which were handed to Jack Draper, George Loffhagen, Anton Matusevich, Adrian McHugh, Alex Ward and James Ward for the Men's and Holly Fischer, Francesca Jones, Maia Lumsden and Emma Raducanu and one TBC for the Women's. There are also a couple that have gone to last years Junior champions, neither of whom are British.
The Men's q-draw is already underway. As last year, British Eurosport 2 are doing live coverage from one of the courts. This is what the varios Brits need to win through to get to the main show:-
