Very far in the classification at the time of the cut for Wimbledon, Loïs Boisson was not well classified enough either to claim the qualifications of the London tournament. A settlement point finally saved it.
Loïs Boisson will undoubtedly be one of the main attractions of Wimbledon qualifying. Semi-finalist in Roland-Garros, the Frenchwoman has indeed seen her request as a wildcard with the organizers of the London tournament and will therefore have to go through Roehamtpon, which hosts the qualifying tournament.
And Dijonnaise may have it all the worse than its 67e Global place should have enabled it to directly integrate the main draw, which brings together the 104 best players in the world as well as 24 other players from qualifications or guests. Problem, the cut was carried out in mid-May while Loïs Boisson was staying beyond 360e
Like the world.
This classification did not allow him more to compete in the qualifications of Wimbledon. But that was without counting on the rule of the protected classification. The latter predicts that the players who were far from the circuit over a period of more than six months, whether due to an injury or a large one, can keep their old ranking on a dozen tournaments.
Loïs Boisson, the 153rd world place is proof
Concretely, Loïs Boisson pointed at the 153e Global place at the time of its serious knee injury during the Clarins trophy which put it on the touch last spring for eight long months and it was this classification which was taken into account by the organizers of Wimbledon, which therefore gives it access to qualifications.
Note that this rule of the protected classification could also have allowed Petra Kvitova to integrate the table of Wimbledon without asking an invitation as it did, which could have released a wildcard for Loïs Boisson.
