Wimbledon men’s qualifying – Australian preview
The path to Wimbledon glory begins in Roehampton this Monday, June 23, as the men’s qualifying event gets underway. For Australian tennis fans, there’s plenty to look forward to, with a strong group of Aussie contenders aiming to secure a main draw spot at the All England Club.
Australian Players and Their First-Round Opponents
Leading the charge for Australia is Tristan Schoolkate, fresh off his title at the Ilkley Challenger and currently ranked World No. 106. Schoolkate, who is seeded second in the qualifying draw, is aiming to make his first Wimbledon main draw appearance and break into the ATP top 100 for the first time. He is joined by five other Aussie men: Alex Bolt and Jason Kubler, both seeking to return to the main draw, and Li Tu, James McCabe, and Omar Jasika, all hoping to make their Wimbledon singles debut.
