Up to two wild cards per draw may be awarded at the discretion of our Performance Team. These are usually given to young / junior players who don’t yet have an ATP or WTA ranking to help give them experience at the next level.
The Tournament Director can then also give out between one and four wild cards to specific applicants. Further wild cards can also be awarded for any qualifying draws and if there are more spaces available in the main draw. Wild cards are allocated in order of ATP / WTA singles ranking, then ITF World Tennis singles ranking of 1500 or better, followed by ITF World Tennis Number. To request a wild card – contact the British Tour Tournament Director. Any requests for Tournament Director Wildcards must be made by Friday (midday) before the event for main draw, and by the withdrawal deadline for qualifying.
