  • The Lta Wild Card Policy
    THE LTA WILD CARD POLICY 1. INTRODUCTION A ‘wild card’ is a player included in the draw of a tennis event at the discretion of the tournament’s organising committee or organisation. Both main draw and qualifying wild cards may be made available at events. Because the LTA runs and organises some tournaments (LTA Staged Tournaments), the LTA is able to allocate wild cards in the draws of the events within those tournaments. This policy is a general policy that explains how the LTA chooses the players which receive those wild cards and how the LTA nominates individuals to receive wild cards for The Junior Championships, Wimbledon from the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club Limited (the AELTC). The number of wild cards that are available to the LTA at ITF World Tennis Tour (Men’s & Women’s), ATP and WTA tour level events held in Great Britain is outlined in appendix 1. Specific Tournaments and Events If you would like to learn about a particular tournament or event, you should read the relevant tournament information. For LTA tournaments, you can find tournament-specific information packs in the competition resources area of the LTA website. 2. WHAT THIS POLICY EXPLAINS This policy (the Policy) explains how the LTA will allocate wild cards for LTA Staged Tournaments and how the LTA chooses the individuals who they will nominate to the AELTC to receive wildcards for The Junior Championships, Wimbledon. Where references are made to allocating wildcards in this Policy, in relation to The Junior Championships, Wimbledon, such references shall mean nominating individuals for wildcards.

    Communiqué de presse, mardi 16 février 2021 Open 6ème Sens – Métropole de Lyon 2021 Un plateau sportif de qualité pour la 2ème édition du tournoi Les meilleures joueuses françaises et un plateau international très dense seront au rendez-vous de la 2ème édition de l’Open WTA de Lyon début mars A moins de deux semaines du coup d’envoi du tournoi, les organisateurs de l’Open 6ème Sens – Métropole de Lyon ont dévoilé le tableau des joueuses qui seront présentes à la Halle Tony Garnier de Lyon du 27 février au 7 mars. Excellente nouvelle, toutes les meilleures joueuses françaises ont tenu à faire du rendez-vous lyonnais une étape importante de leur calendrier de début de saison. Ainsi, Fiona Ferro (n°2 française), Kristina Mladenovic (n°3) et Alizé Cornet (n°4) et bien sûr l’ambassadrice du tournoi et Lyonnaise Caroline Garcia (n°1 française et n°43 WTA) participeront bien à la 2ème édition de l’Open 6ème Sens – Métropole de Lyon, qui s’impose comme le plus important tournoi indoor féminin en France. Parmi les joueuses étrangères, la présence de l’Américaine Cori Gauff constituera sans doute l’une des attractions de cette édition 2021. La prodige de 16 ans, qui a déjà remporté un titre sur le circuit WTA (Linz en 2019, à 15 ans !) ne cesse de battre les records de précocité et représente sans aucun doute l’avenir du tennis féminin mondial au plus haut niveau. La Russe Ekaterina Alexandrova (n°33 WTA) assumera le statut de tête de série n°1 du tournoi.
