Here is the full singles wildcard list. Wildcards for Chwalinska, Dimitrov and Wawrinka but no wildcard yet for Dan Evans.

[Bastien Fachan @BastienFachan]

Marvelous:

Maja Chwalinska, who skyrocketed to #21 in the WTA rankings following her Roland-Garros final run, will become the first woman to receive a wild card *and* be seeded at Wimbledon!

She missed the Wimbledon cutoff the week prior to Roland-Garros as she was ranked #116.

Full article here: ITIA - Majchrzak TADP suspension https://t.co/2DVH9uaINc

[Tennis Inside Out @TennisInsideOut]

Added context: "The ITIA accepted that Majchrzak had not knowingly or intentionally ingested the Prohibited Substances, and further mitigating evidence includes the player’s consultation with a dietician about the supplement and its ingredients. "

[José Morgado @josemorgado]

Majchrzak, who served a doping suspension for 13 months between 2023 and 2024, looking very emotional in the biggest moment of his career.

Said he considering quiting tennis during his time off, but cameback all the way from ITFs.

He will make his top 50 debut tomorrow.

[Tennis Weekly Podcast @tennisweeklypod]

Honestly the thing that impresses me most about Donna Vekic game is how she can wear a long sleeve top on court in 25 degree heat.

[José Morgado @josemorgado]

Vekic was out of the top 100 a couple of months ago.

Had to play multiple qualifyings for big events (including this week)

Entered the week outside the top 70, failed to qualify.

In as lucky loser to replace Kostyuk. Wins the title.

Tennis is an amazing sport.

Good grief. Just like the security line at the tennis tournament, where they ignore the beeping on the metal detector, but they'll tackle you to the ground if you forgot to take the label off your water. 😝

[Kevin V. Nguyen @KevinNguyen_89]

How far is FIFA going with its brand restrictions? The condiments at the Levi’s Stadium press box have all been taped over 😆

[Tennis Inside Out @TennisInsideOut]

@Momeaux Same here, I don't think I own any other brand of tennis skirt. And I have a dozen zip-up jackets, including the very first ones I bought, the quality was so good. Other than Tail, I mostly just buy general athletic wear at sports stores or department stores.
