GB’s Tarvet, ranked 719, reaches Wimbledon main draw

The Wimbledon singles main draw, which will feature the most visiting players in 41 years, has been announced by Britain’s world number 719 Oliver Tarvet.

In the final round of qualifying on Thursday, Tarvet defeated Belgian world number 144 Alexander Blockx 6-3,3-6,6-2,6-3.

The 21-year-old was playing a best-of-five match for the first time.

When Wimbledon begins on June 30th, there will be 11 men and 12 women players in the singles draw following Tarvet’s victory.

The Englishman, who hails from St. Albans, has one year to finish his University of San Diego studies.

Tarvet won’t be able to claim the majority of his £66, 000 prize money for reaching the Wimbledon first round because the majority of college sports are solely amateurs.

There are many emotions, according to Tarvet, but the main one is simply joy.

It’s been my dream since I was a young child.

In the opening two rounds of qualifying, Tavert defeated Frenchman Alexis Galarneau and Frenchman Terence Atmane.

Swiss Leandro Riedi defeated British world number 550 Hamish Stewart 6-3,4-6,6-3,6-4 earlier on Thursday.

Tarvet’s prize money situation is not unusual.

After reaching the second round of the US Open while still an amateur at the University of Texas, Australian Maya Joint forfeited more than $200, 000 in prize money last year.

Student-athletes may make up to $10,000 from any prize money, which will be used for travel costs and entrance fees.

I’m very interested in returning to University of San Diego for my fourth year because I’ve got to find a lot of expenses,” Tarvet said.

“I’m so appreciative of what they have done for me,” I said. I want to make a significant impact on US history with my fourth year there.

It’s unlikely that Tarvet’s plans for the year ahead will change after qualifying for the Wimbledon main draw.

He is said to be eager to earn his degree and participate in his final year of college in the country’s notoriously competitive US program.

In this year’s NCAA Championships, he won 23 of his 25 matches and placed among the top 5 singles players in the division one.

Although Tarvet has only won two professional tournaments this year, the San Diego-based ITF World Tour event, which cost $ 15, 000.

In his brief career, the world number 719 has already won five titles, all of which were held at the lowest level of the professional ladder.
