Former Champ Kvitova, Dan Evans Among Wimbledon Main Draw Wild Cards
Junior National Champion Oliver Bonding: Two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova of Czechia, who returned from maternity leave this year, along with British No.1 Dan Evans, are among the recipients of wild cards for the Wimbledon main draw. A mix of established names and the next tennis stars have been awarded entry to the main draw of The Championships, for which qualifying begins on June 23 and the main draw gets underway on June 30.
Kvitova became the first player born in the 1990s to win a Grand Slam title when she defeated Maria Sharapova in the 2011 Wimbledon final. She went on to reclaim the Venus Rosewater Dish in 2014. The 35-year-old is currently ranked No. 572 and won the first match of her comeback in Rome last month over Irina-Camelia Begu.
Evans will compete in his 10th Wimbledon main draw after beating Frances Tiafoe to secure his best win by ranking since the Davis Cup in Manchester in 2023 at the HSBC Championships this week.
