When does it start? What dates does it run?

June 26-June 29.

What’s the big story?

Maria Sharapova was scheduled to appear as she continues her comeback from a doping ban but a muscle injury sustained in the Italian Open in May means she has withdrawn. Heather Watson and Naomi Broady were on the entry list for Great Britain but they have obtained a wild card for the main draw.

How does it work?

As the Wimbledon website explains:

There are Gentlemen’s and Ladies’ Singles competitions where players must win through three rounds to win one of the 16 Championships’ Main Draw places for men, or 12 Main Draw places for women… If a Main Draw player withdraws after the qualifying competition has started, his/her place in the Main Draw will be taken by a lucky loser – this is a player that lost in the final round of qualifying. These players are drawn by lot against other losers in this round.

Order of play

The order of play can be found here.
