Sono state annunciate le wild card per Wimbledon, il torneo più prestigioso al mondo al via sui campi in erba dell’All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club dal 29 giugno al 12 luglio. Cinque sono state donate a tennisti britannici: Broady, Edmund e Ward nel maschile, Broady e Konta nel femminile. Una non poteva che essere riservata a Lleyton Hewitt, al suo ultimo Wimbledon prima del ritiro annunciato che avverrà nel 2016 agli Australian Open. L’ex numero 1 del mondo e campione ai Championships nel 2002, ha voluto ringraziare gli organizzatori su Twitter.
