PLAYER ENTRIES
Players wishing to enter The Championships are required to submit
their entry on a special form, which must be submitted six weeks
before The Championships begin. The Committee of Management, with
the assistance of the Referee, use computer ranking lists (taken
from the WTA and ATP Tours) to determine which players will be admitted
directly into Championship events, those who have to qualify and
those who are rejected.
The Committee use their discretion regarding the admission of "wild
cards" into the draw. About 500 entries, including juniors,
are accepted. The Qualifying Competition takes place in the week
before The Championships at the Bank of England Sports Club, Roehampton.
To enter the junior events a player has to have an ITF junior world
ranking. This is obtained by playing on the ITF Junior World Circuit
and entries can only be submitted by national associations affiliated
with the ITF (International Tennis Federation). The All England
Club does not accept any entries direct from juniors themselves.
