Wimbledon wildcards revealed as French Open star Lois Boisson learns her fate

All of the recipients of women’s singles wildcards for this year’s Wimbledon Championships have been revealed, while all but one of the men’s wildcards have been confirmed.

The 2025 Wimbledon Championships, which will be the 138th edition of the historic event, will be held from June 30 to July 13.

Wildcards have been awarded at Wimbledon since 1977 and they are selected by the committee of the All England Lawn Tennis Club.

Eight players receive main draw wildcards for both the women’s and men’s singles tournaments.

Women’s singles

Seven of the women’s wildcards have been given to British players: Jodie Burrage, Harriet Dart, Francesca Jones, Hannah Klugman, Mika Stojsavljevic, Heather Watson and Mingge Xu.

The remaining wildcard has gone to two-time Wimbledon champion and former world No 2 Petra Kvitova.

The 35-year-old Czech, currently ranked 572nd, returned to the tour in February following the birth of her son in June last year.

Lois Boisson stunned the tennis world with her run to the 2025 French Open semi-finals as a 361st-ranked wildcard, but she is not guaranteed to feature in the Wimbledon main draw after missing out on a wildcard.

While the Frenchwoman has soared to 67th in the world, the Wimbledon entry list cutoff was before her Roland Garros heroics lifted her ranking.

The 22-year-old has, though, entered the Wimbledon qualifying draw using a special ranking of 153 she earned due to a lengthy absence from the tour due to injury. She is yet to play a match on grass in her professional career.

Boisson made her Grand Slam main draw debut at this year’s French Open, where she stunned top 10 stars Jessica Pegula and Mirra Andreeva.

Men’s singles

For the men’s singles draw, seven of the eight players to receive wildcards have been announced — and they are all from Great Britain.

Jay Clarke, Oliver Crawford, Dan Evans, George Loffhagen, Johannus Monday, Jay Pinnington Jones and Henry Searle have all been awarded wildcards.

In 2025, all eight of the men’s singles wildcards went to British players.

Three-time Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka will miss Wimbledon, unless he receives the final wildcard, as he in not on the qualifying entry list.

The 40-year-old Swiss, a former world No 3 who won the Australian Open, the French Open and the US Open, is currently ranked 155th.
