Overview

• Wimbledon announced its eight women’s wild cards on June 18, granting none to Loïs Boisson, so she must compete in qualifying rounds starting June 23.
• Organizers used rankings from before Roland-Garros—when Boisson was 361st—to determine direct entries and wild-card eligibility.
• Seven of the eight invitations went to British players while the lone overseas wild card was awarded to two-time champion Petra Kvitova.
• Boisson, who has never played on grass, will need to win three qualifying matches to reach her first Wimbledon main draw.
• Despite the Wimbledon setback, Boisson’s post-French Open ranking secures her spot in the US Open and Australian Open main draws.
