What is Wimbledon qualifying?published at 11:25 British Summer Time 21 June 2022
The week before Wimbledon heralds the start of qualifying, as players old and new attempt to enter the SW19 main draw.
Last year, Katie Swan was the only Briton to come through the three rounds of qualifying to secure one of 16 places available in each of the main draws.
On the men's side this year, qualifying wildcards have been awarded to Aidan McHugh, Felix Gil, Billy Harris and Arthur Fery, with LTA under-18 junior national champion Luca Pow also set to play.
Maia Lumsden, Sarah Beth Grey, Talia Neilson Gatenby, Eden Silva, Ranah Stoiber and under-18 junior champion Mimi Xu will seek to qualify in the women's tournament.
American Jack Sock, the world number 109, is the highest-ranked player in the men's draw, while compatriot Bernada Pera is the top-ranked female player at 116.
