Three Britons One Win from Wimbledon Main Draw

Several British tennis players are close to securing their first appearances in the Wimbledon main draw after advancing through the qualifying rounds. Emily Appleton, Oliver Tarvet, and Hamish Stewart each won their second-round qualifying matches and are set to compete in the final round for a spot in the main draw, with Appleton facing Veronika Erjavec, Tarvet playing Alexander Blockx, and Stewart meeting Leandro Riedi. Other British hopefuls such as Ryan Peniston, Paul Jubb, Oliver Bonding, and Amarni Banks were eliminated in earlier rounds. Notably, Alize Cornet, a French player who recently came out of retirement, is also on the verge of returning to Wimbledon after winning her second-round match. Qualifying for Wimbledon requires players to win three matches, and the main draw will be determined following the completion of these final qualifying rounds. The Wimbledon main event is scheduled to start on June 30, with the qualifying draw taking place shortly before the tournament begins.
