Does anyone know if Katie Boulter got a new coach in the past year? She used to struggle to even get through qualifying but watching her in the past year and right now at Eastbourne I honestly think she’s got a good chance of quarter or even semis at Wimbledon this year if the draw is kind to her

She had CFS when she was about 17 so had to manage her playing time for quite a few years and then she buggered her back up playing BJK cup. She's finally able to actually maximise the talent she always had.

The ladies done good today, 3 through to the QFs at Eastbourne and 3 through to the FQR at Wimbledon including an exceptionally talented 15 year old Hannah Klugman.
 
Andy is getting a lot of flack in the comments about this and people saying he should give someone else the chance but personally I would still love to see him play even if it’s his last Wimbledon ☹️

Anyone else remember this? Hard to believe it was 25 years ago 😳

I was reading something last night that said he would def be in the draw but may pull out before the game to give himself the longest chance to recover.

I like Andy, but that seems a bit unfair. Someone else could have that place (and likely a low-ranked/new-ish player who would benefit from the first-round money a lot more than Andy would).
 
No byes in the 1st round. He can pull out right up until the match if he wants. There is a draw done after qualifying is done to determine the order of LL so there will be atleast 4 players onsite if he does withdraw last minute. Unfortunately this year you have 2 top players waiting until the last minute before making a decision for perfectly understandable reasons, Andy because it's his home GS and Djokovic because he thinks 1 more GS will make him the nailed on GOAT (It won't because the GOAT isn't just based on wins for most people)
 
Im just thinking selfishly as well as someone with tickets, but it could mess up the scheduling for who’s playing on what court as well. They’ll obviously want to put Andy on centre court but if he pulls out really last minute you could end up with 2 players on centre that shouldn’t really be there.
