Wimbledon choose NOT to offer wildcard to French Open semi-finalist Lois Boisson after cruel ‘deodorant' jibe from Brit
WIMBLEDON chose NOT to give a French Open semi-finalist a wildcard. But they did give the Brit who made a cruel "deodorant" jibe about her a spot in the main draw. 4 4 4 Lois Boisson, 22, hit headlines in April after Harriet Dart took a mean swipe at her personal hygiene. At a change of ends during her 6-0 6-3 defeat to the Frenchwoman, Dart inexplicably asked the umpire to "tell her to wear deodorant" because "she smells really bad". Boisson hit back with a brilliant quip to the unkind comments, jokingly writing that "Dove apparently need a collab". And not only did she breeze to an easy win and her classy reputation enhanced, but she then had the best fortnight of her life with a stunning run to the semi-finals at Roland Garros. Given a wildcard by the French Tennis Federation after an ACL injury saw her slump to world No361, Boisson enjoyed a stunning run. She beat No3 seed Jessica Pegula and No6 seed Mirra Andreeva in front of a raucous home crowd, Boisson was eventually knocked out by Coco Gauff, who lifted the trophy. As well as earning £578,000 - five times more than the rest of her career prize money - she also jumped up to 67 in the WTA world rankings. That would ordinarily be high enough for direct entry into the majors, but the Wimbledon cut-off was before the rankings updated after the French Open. So Boisson was reliant on a wildcard spot in the main draw - but was snubbed by the All England Club. Of the eight wildcards handed out for the women's singles, seven went to British players - including Dart and 16-year-old rising star Hannah Klugman. Wimbledon finals are to be broadcast on new channel The other was for two-time champ Petra Kvitova from Czech Republic following her return from maternity leave. Instead, Boisson used her protected ranking of 153rd from before the injury to secure a qualifying place for Wimbledon, where she will play her first professional match on grass. But tennis fans could not believe the call from the AELTC to overlook her for a place in the 128-player main draw. One said: "I'm genuinely shocked Lois Boisson was denied a Wimbledon wild card… I hope she makes it through the qualifiers." Another wrote: "Totally understand many wildcards for Wimbledon being handed to British players, but it's disappointing there isn't one for Lois Boisson as well. "Now inside the top 70 after Roland Garros - it would have been good to see her in the main draw. Hope she comes through qualifying." Wimbledon 2025 Wildcards GENTLEMEN'S SINGLES 1 Jay CLARKE (GBR) 2 Oliver CRAWFORD (GBR) 3 Daniel EVANS (GBR) 4 George LOFFHAGEN (GBR) 5 Johannus MONDAY (GBR) 6 Jack PINNINGTON JONES (GBR) 7 Henry SEARLE (GBR) 8 To be announced LADIES' SINGLES 1 Jodie BURRAGE (GBR) 2 Harriet DART (GBR) 3 Francesca JONES (GBR) 4 Hannah KLUGMAN (GBR) 5 Petra KVITOVA (CZE) 6 Mika STOJSAVLJEVIC (GBR) 7 Heather WATSON (GBR) 8 Mingge XU (GBR) GENTLEMEN'S QUALIFYING SINGLES 1 Oliver BONDING (GBR) 2 Nicolai BUDKOV KJAER (NOR) 3 Arthur FERY (GBR) 4 Paul JUBB (GBR) 5 Ryan PENISTON (GBR) 6 Oliver TARVET (GBR) 7 To be announced 8 Wild Card Play-off place 9 Wild Card Play-off place LADIES' QUALIFYING SINGLES 1 Emily APPLETON (GBR) 2 Amarni BANKS (GBR) 3 Renata JAMRICHOVA (SVK) 4 Ella MCDONALD (GBR) 5 Yuriko Lily MIYAZAKI (GBR) 6 Amelia RAJECKI (GBR) 7 Ranah STOIBER (GBR) 8 Wild Card Play-off place 9 Wild Card Play-off place And a third added: "Roland Garros has never issued a WC to a British woman player. Wimbledon has a long memory." The French Open usually gives a wildcard to Australia and the United States, the hosts of the other two majors - but not to Great Britain. On the men's side, seven of the eight main-draw wildcards have been confirmed - with all of them so far going to Brits. That leaves three-time Grand Slam champ Stan Wawrinka's hopes of playing at a 19th Wimbledon hanging by a thread. The veteran turned 40 in March but is now down at world No155 and not on the qualifying entry list. Dan Evans is the standout Brit along with Jay Clarke and in-form Oliver Crawford. Wimbledon gets underway on June 30 - with the finals over the weekend of July 12-13. 4 Tennis stars' new careers PLENTY of tennis stars have stayed involved in the sport since retiring. But others pursued very different careers. Here are some of the best… I reached French Open and Wimbledon finals as a teenager but I quit to become a nun I won Wimbledon mixed doubles with my sister but got fed up with English weather so now run luxury B&B I was tipped for stardom aged 12 but retrained to become high-flying lawyer I earned £9m and won French Open before setting up bistro with Brazilian model girlfriend I'm last Frenchman to win Roland Garros, now I'm singer with six albums hitting No1 in charts I'm former world No1 but quit aged 29 - instead I went on to play professional poker and golf I was destined for the top but swapped lobs for labs as award-winning Harvard physicist

True Love powers to Queen Mary first for O'Brien
True Love took some time to work her way into the race as Zelaina set a scorching early pace, but she stayed on to real effect in the final furlong to beat 100-1 shot Flowerhead, with Patrick Biancone's American raider Lennilu third. True Love looked the part (John Walton/PA) It was win number 93 for O'Brien at the big meeting, although rather surprisingly his first in the Queen Mary. He said: 'She's lovely and in her first run Ryan came in and said they won't beat her again and then after her second run Wayne (Lordan) said the same thing, that they won't beat her again, and then you have to consider the two that beat her (Lady Iman and Gstaad) are very good horses. 'Ryan gave her a beautiful ride and Michael (Tabor) has always loved her and always spoken about her. It's great as her mother (Alluringly) is in foal to City Of Troy and her sister is in foal to Wootton Bassett so it's marvellous really. 'She was drawn by herself and there was no pace where she was so she had to go and do her own work and that's what Ryan did, he was excellent on her. She was probably strongest in the last half-furlong and when she got going she really powered away. Another juvenile winner for Aidan O'Brien and Ryan Moore 👏 True Love wins The Queen Mary Stakes ❤️#RoyalAscot — ITV Racing (@itvracing) June 18, 2025 'Ryan said he was a little slow to step and a little on the back foot all the time and I think that's why he was trying to stoke her up a bit, but late on she was really strong. 'She had to work really hard and the only place she was going to get company was out in the middle and Ryan did really well to let her go there. She was under the pump a long way out, but so strong at the line and is obviously high class. 'She's like a four-year-old really and Ryan thought she would be better when she steps up to six furlongs and she's a big, mature filly who walks around the ring like a four-year-old, she's so scopey – she's something to look forward to.' On future plans, O'Brien added: 'I think we look forward to going up in trip now, the lads will decide that. You would imagine she would have no problem going six furlongs, but she is No Nay Never and he's a big speed influence always. 'The Queen Mary winner seems to always head to Deauville (Prix Morny) or the Curragh (Airlie Stud Stakes) and that would be the two races really or there is the Duchess of Cambridge Stakes at Newmarket in July. That may come too soon, but we will see how she is.' Flowerhead on her way to post at Royal Ascot (John Walton/PA) Flowerhead's trainer Charlie Clover was thrilled to secure a Royal Ascot placing in his first full season with a licence. He said: 'This is a huge start for us, we were struggling away for the first few months but it's really kicked into gear the past few weeks and it's been a delight to see the whole team find their feet. 'It's only a small team but it's been massively welcome to see these horses run to form and I can't thank (owner) Amo Racing enough, they've done so much for me and my career in helping me get off the ground. 'We liked her at home, we hoped she'd run a nice race but second was a bit of a dream. You can get greedy quite quickly and think you could have won it, who knows? 'I'm delighted to be in the frame and for her to run a big race for owners who are so important to me.' Biancone plans to head back to America with Lennilu following her run, saying: 'She's only a baby. 'I liked the fact she was the first one off the bridle and she was there at the end, which means she will go a bit further and that is great. We're happy, she fought all the way. 'We go home, we give her a break. The first plan was to try to bring her here which we did, she's Grade Two placed now which is good. She'll have a little vacation and we'll see her in Del Mar.' The Richard Hannon-trained Harry's Girl was pulled up during the race and it was later confirmed the filly had sustained a fatal injury.

Royal Ascot horse dies seconds into race as ITV viewers left devastated
Royal Ascot horse dies seconds into race as ITV viewers left devastated There were tragic scenes on the second day of Royal Ascot There were tragic scenes at Royal Ascot on Wednesday There was tragedy on the second day of Royal Ascot as a horse died just moments into a race. Harry's Girl was racing for the Richard Hannon-Sean Levey combination in The Queen Mary Stakes at the world-famous racecourse when she broke down and died seconds into the five furlong race on Wednesday afternoon. The tragedy left racing fans in the stands and viewers at home devastated, with ITV presenter Ed Chamberlin saying it "cast a shadow" over the day's action. It was the dame's third race, having won on her debut at Newmarket in April before also racing at York last month. A statement from Ascot Racecourse on Wednesday read: "Unfortunately, Harry's Girl suffered a fatal injury during The Queen Mary Stakes. "Our thoughts go out to all connections at this time." Shortly after the race, Chamberlin confirmed the sad news to viewers watching at home, describing it as "desperately sad". Article continues below He said: "We've just had this confirmed by Ascot - Harry's Girl did suffer a fatal injury. "Our thoughts go out to connections," he added. "It's desperately sad for the Hannon team after they celebrated with their winner Haatem yesterday." The tragedy left ITV viewers devastated, as one took to X to write: "A sad start to the day, with a horse lost in the Queen Mary. "It's hard to celebrate or feel excited for the rest of the meeting when this happens. Thoughts with Harry's Girl and those who loved her. Rest easy, love." Another added: "Sadly Harry's Girl suffered a fatal injury. Talented horse, gone too soon." Tragically, Harry's Girl's death comes just weeks after another horse trained by Hannon, Norman's Cay, died during the Derby meet at Epsom. The Queen Mary Stakes was ultimately won by True Love, ridden by Ryan Moore for Aidan O'Brien. She finished ahead of 100-1 shot Flowerhead in second, while Lennilu finished third. The win also gave O'Brien his first ever victory in the Queen Mary Stakes. Speaking before the race Harry's Girl's handler said: "She's a very precocious filly who won well on debut at the Craven meeting and did everything right bar win at York in the Listed Marygate Fillies' Stakes. "I really thought she'd win that day and she appeared home and hosed but got caught close home by a fast finisher on the other side of the track which she didn't see coming. Article continues below "Her work has been very good, and she looks magnificent in her coat. "It's a typically competitive Queen Mary, but she's a strong traveller with plenty of boot and this race has been the plan all along so I'm hopeful of a bold show."
