East Yorkshire teenager Kyle Edmund has been given a Wimbledon wild card. Edmund, from Tickton, has been selected for the second year running, despite ranking outside the world top 250. The policy of the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) is to propose British players ranked 250 or higher in the world for wild card entry, but Edmund is widely seen as a star of the future. Former Australian Open finalist Marcos Baghdatis, who claimed his first singles title since 2010 with victory in the Nottingham Aegon Classic last week, leads the cast of wild card entries, with British hopes Dan Evans, James Ward and Dan Cox also included. Brit Dan Smethurst squeezes in by virtue of sitting 243rd in the world, with two further wild card places yet to be confirmed for the men's singles. British trio Naomi Broady, Tara Moore and Samantha Murray have been handed entries into the ladies' singles draw, with Czech Kristyna Pliskova also on the list. Four further women's singles wild cards are yet to be confirmed. British duo Heather Watson and Johanna Konta are direct entries through ranking.
