Brits confirmed for Wimbledon: 18 players including four debutants and some old hands
These are the 18 British players confirmed for Wimbledon this year.
Brits have had a tough time at Wimbledon since the feats of Andy Murray at SW19, as homegrown players have struggled to make it to the final stages of the iconic tennis tournament. However, the biggest fortnight of the year for tennis fans will see at least 18 home hopefuls trying their luck in the main singles draws.
Murray, now a Sir, picked up the Wimbledon title twice - in 2013 and 2016 - marking the last time UK fans got to cheer on a Brit in the Centre Court showpiece final. Things have been sparse since, with memories of Henman Hill swiftly fading into the past.
Ahead of Wimbledon 2026, which gets underway on June 29, Cameron Norrie is the highest ranked Brit taking to the grass at SW19, placed at number 29 in the men's list. The 29-year-old - who is seeded 26th - reached the quarter-finals last summer but has played only one competitive match since a rib injury forced him out of the French Open in May.
Next in the rankings for UK stars is Emma Raducanu, who is rated number 32 in the women's list. The 23-year-old, who enjoyed a fine run to the final of Queen’s recently which was her best performance at a tour event since winning the 2021 US Open, is the only British seed in the women’s draw.
So, ahead of the 2026 tournament, here is a closer look at the home contenders who secured places without having to go through qualifying…
