Wimbledon’s wildcard committee considers a variety of factors – including ranking, form and previous grass-court results – when deciding recipients.
“We discuss what is right for the players and the event,” British women’s team captain Anne Keothavong, who is on the wildcard committee, told BBC Radio 5 Live.
“We’re fortunate to have a British Grand Slam and it is in everyone’s interests to support British players where we can.
“Where we can give British players opportunities and expose them to the highest level of tennis, we would like to do so.”
Having 14 players inside the world’s top 200 – the most since 1984 – shows Britain’s growing depth of talent.
