Who else has received a wildcard?
Six British players - Cameron Norrie, Emma Raducanu, Katie Boulter, Jack Draper, Jan Choinski and Francesca Jones - are ranked high enough to receive direct entry into the singles draws.
On Tuesday, wildcards were given to four British men's players, with two more spots to be confirmed over the next fortnight.
Men's singles wildcards: Grigor Dimitrov, Jacob Fearnley, Arthur Fery, Jack Pinnington Jones, Toby Samuel, Stan Wawrinka
Six of the wildcards in the women's draw were given to British players.
Women's singles wildcards: Maja Chwalinska, Harriet Dart, Alicia Dudeney, Hannah Klugman, Mika Stojsavljevic, Katie Swan, Mimi Xu
The wildcards are chosen at the discretion of the Wimbledon committee.
The tournament said wildcards are usually offered "on the basis of past performance at Wimbledon or to increase British interest".
Not really sure why Billy Harris hasn't got one, apart from that British wild cards were as expected. Did you see Klugman today? Came of age after a ropey 12 months or so. Lot of talk of Evans and Serena still getting one. Jodie Burrage already got a qualifying wild card, but no Heather Watson in either singles list. Assume she is getting main draw if Serena doesn't take it up, and qualifying if she does. Maybe something similar with Dan Evans? Maybe Felix Gill gets one if he goes further than Billy Harris this week? Maybe their wins in the Nottingham challenger have done for Evans? Though suspect they will need to final to do so? |

Enjoying reading your Vegas exploits Tikay. Not enjoying reading all this bad run/crap variance you are going through though. Hopefully, it changes for the good soon. I have still got my WSOP ap from last year, so I am following players on there and sometimes staying up late to watch the action on you tube too. Loving it/missing it.
What you need to do to improve your luck is two simple steps....
1) Get Jeeves to assist you
2) Change your name on that ap to Foxen/Mateos/Glazer etc etc.
VBOL for the rest of your 'holiday' , and please keep up the reporting for us back in blighty.

Raise with 9-9, Mr Tight calls again, lol.
Flop 10-9-5dd, wiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
He bets 2k. I make it 5k. He jams. I call. I have a set of 9's, he has A-10.
And we see this runout.....
Eurgh, very, very unlucky. The only thing you can do is laugh, you know that loud hysterical laugh as you rock backwards and forwards waiting for matron to bring you one of those nice injections. |

Incoming WhatsApp from a pal who can't see the 'photos, so in case he's not alone.... Me;   Him;   Flop;    Turn;  River;  when I pinged the 10 turn I did a mental fist-pump, but before I could compute the extra outs he gained (3 x A, 3 x 5 & 1 x 10) the Dealer had rolled off the river & I heard a sort of collective "ooooh". |

I'm not in the habit of taking "hand" 'photos at the table, it's a bit naff imo, but I think this was a reasonable exception, nobody would believe me otherwise.
He was a lovely fella & was all apologies afterwards. I went & shook his hand & wandered away tail between legs & a bit shell-shocked that the party was over so quickly & in such weird fashion.
Surprisingly, the beat never bothered me THAT much, it's poker, it happens, but departing in Level 3 of a WSOP certainly was a big disappointment, I love WSOP days so much.
If I misplayed the hand I'd be cross with myself, but I played it correctly (imo).
Those who have managed to grind their way through these reports may recall I exited the WSOP Big O in similar fashion, when two of us flopped the same boat but his (inferior) danglers got there. That was a 5 card game of course so it's not that terrible.
Anyway, that's that, and the 2026 Vegas hole just got deeper.
Tomorrow I go again, bullet 2 in the $1,000 WSOP Seniors. It'll be first rebuy/re-entry of the trip, so there's that I suppose.
Not sure it's wise to revisit the scene of the crime, but there you are.
