British teen given Wimbledon wildcard

Teenager Kyle Edmund is one of two British players to be announced by the All England Club as wildcard entries for the men’s singles at Wimbledon, with James Ward also on the list.

Edmund, 18, claimed the boy’s doubles title at the French Open last week and impressed in his first-round defeat to 16th seed Grega Zemlja at the AEGON Championships at Queen’s yesterday.
