The Wimbledon Qualifiers in Roehampton will be a glimpse into what we can expect this Saturday when the tournament begins.

The Qualifiers are the winners of the qualifying competitions staged at Roehampton the week before The Championships. Players entering the singles events must play three rounds on the grass courts.

Unlike The Championships, there is no single 'winner' in the Qualifying rounds of play, the players who win all three rounds - 16 in the Gentlemen's Singles and 12 in the Women's Singles - will move on, along with four pairs in each of the Women's and Men's Doubles events.

The 'lucky losers' are losers from the final round of qualifying competitions to fill any vacancy that occurs in the draw before the first round of play has been completed. Several lucky losers have gone on to compete in the third round of Wimbledon in 1973, 1991, and 2002. But no lucky loser has been successful in winning the tournament.
