Wimbledon announces wild cards
The Championships, Wimbedon declared its Wild Cards recently and they do feature some really interesting players.

Probably the most ROYAL Grand Slam out of the four, Wimbledon announced the players being awarded a Wild Card in the main draws of this event. A few of these Wild Cards have been awarded solely on the basis of their French Open performances.

These include the 21 year old Belgian David Goffin, who after being awarded a lucky loser at Roland Garros, reached Round 4 there and also took the first set from Roger Federer. This young lad definitely has shown potential and would be one really interesting prospect at Wimbledon this year. Also getting a Wild Card was Former Champion Lleyton Hewitt, who won the title in 2002. His fighting abilities is what makes him so special. Former World No.2 Tommy Haas also was granted a wild card as everyone knows what this player is capable off.

On the Ladies side, French Virginie Razzano was handed a wild card. Razzano will be known for a very long time, as she is the first player to knock Serena Williams out in the first round of a Grand Slam. Surprise French Open quarter finalist Yaroslava Shvedova also got a wild card, thanks to her performances at the French Open, where she out did Li Na, the defending French Open champion. Also getting a wild card is Local girl Laura Robson.

Lets hope that these wild card entrants really trouble the players they face and try getting deeper into the tournament.
