Barty got a wildcard to qualifiers.

won the Surbiton(UK) ITF 50K comp on the womens side last week

and i have never heard of her either,

 

[matt_897]

Ash Barty and her wildcards...is she up to 100 yet lol?

Seen her results last couple of weeks? Really could of beaten a top 10 player last week, amazingly impressive considering she's just coming back.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Yep Barty rose 286 places in the rankings last week, she's doing very well in her comeback IMO. Don't see what there is to 'lol' about

Yes she is coming back, but how about she makes a main draw on her own rather than receiving handouts all the time. I just hope this time Tennis Australia don't gift wrap her WC's all the time that is all, she has to actually earn them.

She is making the main draw on her own, she still has to qualify.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Well there is a first should have happened years ago when she first came on. I don't blame her I blame Tennis Australia for their WC obsession with every young person coming through.

She's currently #335 in the live rankings now. Good to see she's made a good return to tennis so far this year.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Clever.

 

[JackNah_8]

what a cool design

 

[Hamingja]

Hewitt going H2H with Barty in the wildcard race. Teaming up with Thompson in the doubles. It's time Lleyton...

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

So Barty has a doubles WC in the main draw, who is she playing with?

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

So Barty has a doubles WC in the main draw, who is she playing with?

Laura Robson. Should get plenty of support.

 

[BobbyMorri]

Robson has hurt herself(again), so it will be interesting if she gets up. only a thigh injury, but still you never know.

Just goes to show the Wimbledon organisers are a bunch of hypocritical tossers when it comes to "honouring tradition". They care more about their stupid rules and regulations (which are a joke anyway) than the actual sport they are hosting.

Is there anyone in tennis you don't have a major gripe with?
