C'mon, AELTC.

You've got two TBA spots left for wildcards.

DO NOT leave that to next direct acceptance and allow some extra random singles players into the mix, because why not, and they really deserve a doubles place - not.

One has to go to Felix and Arthur - surely ! They even won a match together and played well last week.

And then one spot more - surely you can think of a reasonable cause?

Luke Johnson is top 500...

If you can't think of anyone, go for Tad and Finn and showcase the US college system. It'll be a decent story for the press.

The additional wildcards have been announced.

Luke and Anton .

And your not going to like this but a pair of brothers of Greek origin. Ridiculous!!

Not too fussed at all. If you're selecting doubles WCs to add interest to the doubles event, a fairly popular top ranked singles player with his brother ( no great record but a couple of pretty decent wins as a pair this year ) seems to me every bit as good as Brits such as Luke J & Anton and the previously announced Stuart Parker & James Ward.

I'm really pleased Anton gets a doubles WC, shame they didn't give the other 3 youngsters something but Tsitsipas is fine.

Very pleased for Luke and Anton.

Shame for the 2002-ers but they'll have plenty of other chances.

Tsitsi x 2 is certainly a crowd pleaser, so no problem.

To re-cap our four singles wildcards:

Andy: R1 WIN; R2 WIN ...

Liam: R1 WIN ! R2 loss

Jack: R1 loss

Jay: R1 loss

Given Jack took a set off Djoko, Jay made a match of it, (and Liam took a set off Diego) that seems a decent showing from the wildcards - and Andy still going, of course....

Definitely excellent from Liam, Andy and Jack. I still thought Jay looks out of sorts. The player who won at Binghamton a couple of seasons ago would have won that match.
Also excellent efforts from our QWCs. Anton and Arthur were tremendous and good attempts from Felix and Jack.
