The All-England Club has announced the first wildcards for the 2026 Wimbledon Championships, awarding invitations to British players in singles main draw and qualifying, doubles, and wheelchair events.
British players secure direct entry
Emma Raducanu, Katie Boulter, Francesca Jones, Cam Norrie, Jack Draper, and Jan Choinski have already secured direct entry into the singles competitions. The newly announced wildcards add more home talent to the draw.
Men's singles wildcards
In the men's singles main draw, wildcards have been awarded to Arthur Fery, Toby Samuel, Jack Pinnington Jones, and Jacob Fearnley. Fery and Pinnington Jones earned their first Grand Slam main draw wins last summer and have continued strong form, with Pinnington Jones winning a maiden ATP Challenger title and Fery reaching the second round of the Australian Open.
For the men's singles qualifying draw, wildcards go to 2023 Wimbledon Boys' Singles champion Henry Searle, Oliver Tarvet, and Johannus Monday.
Men's doubles wildcards
Four all-British men's pairs receive wildcards: Ben Jones and Joshua Paris (Lexus Birmingham Open champions), David Stevenson and Marcus Willis (Lexus Ilkley Open winners), Dan Evans and Henry Searle, and Johannus Monday and Harry Wendelken.
Women's singles wildcards
Six British women have been awarded wildcards into the singles main draw: Harriet Dart, Alicia Dudeney, Katie Swan, Mika Stojsavljevic, Mimi Xu, and Hannah Klugman. They join Raducanu, Boulter, and Jones. The Brits have had strong seasons, including back-to-back titles for Katie Swan in Japan and four ITF singles titles for Alicia Dudeney.
Wheelchair competitions
Wildcards in wheelchair events go to Ben Bartram and Andrew Penney (men's), Lucy Shuker (women's, with one further wildcard to be confirmed), and Greg Slade (quad division).
