Flanagan in wildcard woe
Ian Flanagan
Britain's Ian Flanagan has missed out on a Wimbledon wildcard despite reaching the last 16 at the Stella Artois Championships at Queen's.

The 22-year-old Welshman beat Mark Philippoussis and Victor Hanescu before losing to Sebastien Grosjean.

"I was hoping for a wild card having had a great week and having put so much into every element of my game over the last 18 months," said Flanagan.

The world number 866 has received a wildcard into Wimbledon qualifying.

Fellow Britons Jonathan Marray, Arvind Parmar, Mark Hilton and Richard Bloomfield have received wildcards into Wimbledon, guaranteeing them at least �9,040.

Parmar earned his place in the year's third Grand Slam by winning the Lawn Tennis Association's wildcard play-off on Friday, beating Hilton in the final.

Bloomfield beat Andrew Banks in the third-fourth place play-off to claim another place.
