–

The women’s qualifying finished shortly after 4:30 p.m. London time – anecdotally, it could be one of the earliest finishes ever with not a single rain delay all week.

Let’s hope they didn’t waste all the good weather on the qualifying.

And there are some surprises – a bunch of 19-year-olds who have come through a pretty tough test: Anca Todoni, Robin Montgomery and … Canadian Marina Stakusic.

In all, nine of the 16 are making their Wimbledon main-draw debut.

***UPDATED WITH FIRST-ROUND OPPONENTS***
