French Open breakout star Lois Boisson has been snubbed by Wimbledon despite reaching the semi-final of the most recent Grand Slam tournament. Boisson went on a fairytale run at Roland Garros earlier this month while ranked down at No. 361 in the world, beating two top-10 players on her way to the last four.

She has since shot inside the world’s top 70 but had to enter Wimbledon qualifying because her ranking was too low to make it into the main draw at the time of the entry deadline. Boisson seemed a lock to receive a wildcard but seven of the eight women’s singles wildcards have gone to British players, while seven men have also been given a pass into the main draw.

Boisson was sidelined from tennis for eight months after tearing her ACL, meaning she was able to use her injury-protected ranking to enter Wimbledon qualifying.

Following her heroic efforts in Paris, many thought the All England Club would let her into the main draw, especially as those in the qualifying field won’t want to face the new world No. 67.

But Boisson was notably absent from the list of wildcard recipients, published on Wednesday. Two-time former champion Petra Kvitova, who returned to the tour earlier this year after welcoming her first child, is the only non-British woman to receive a wildcard.

Jodie Burrage, Harriet Dart, Francesca Jones, Hannah Klugman, Mika Stojsavljevic, Heather Watson and Mingge Xu have also been granted spots in the main draw.

Klugman is the current junior world No. 3 in the ITF rankings and finished runner-up at the junior girls’ event at the French Open earlier this month. This will be her main draw Grand Slam debut – she received a qualifying wildcard for Wimbledon last year but lost in the third and final round.

Stojsavljevic and Xu will also make their main draw Grand Slam debuts. Both are also former top-10 junior players. Stojsavljevic won the 2024 junior US Open title, while Xu made a remarkable WTA Tour debut in Nottingham this week, upsetting world No. 96 Katie Volynets.

On the men’s side, Jay Clarke, Oliver Crawford, Dan Evans, George Loffhagen, Johannus Monday, Jack Pinnington Jones and Henry Searle have received main draw wildcards. The eighth wildcard will be announced at a future date.

Earlier this year, Clarke withdrew his name from the London-based lawsuit lodged by the Professional Tennis Players Association – a players’ union co-founded by Novak Djokovic.

The PTPA launched legal cases in New York, Brussels, and London against “corrupt governing bodies,” with Wimbledon named among the “co-conspirators.” Clarke was one of six plaintiffs in the London case, but he later released a statement announcing he would no longer be part of the case.

Searle won the junior boys’ title at Wimbledon in 2023 then received a main-draw wildcard last year, losing his opening match to Marcos Giron. He will have another opportunity to record a win this year.

Evans, who was ranked at a career-high of No. 21 less than two years ago, has also been given a pass into the main draw now his ranking has slipped to No. 199. He upset seventh seed Frances Tiafoe at Queen’s on Monday and shared his hopes of receiving a Wimbledon wildcard.

“I would hope the past 15 years has given me a shot at a wildcard. Not just at Wimbledon but I think in other events here,” he said.

“You know, I obviously really want to play Wimbledon. I really enjoy playing all these events. I’m the first to harp on about the wildcards. It’s not just about one week or one match. It’s about what you do 52 weeks of the year.”
