London - Former No 1 Lleyton Hewitt of Australia, the 2002 Wimbledon champion, headlines the list of wild cards for the grass court Grand Slam tournament.

The others are: British quartet Jamie Baker, Oliver Golding, Josh Goodall and James Ward, David Goffin of Belgium and Grega Zemlja of Slovenia.

The women's wild cards include 2009 US Open quarter-finalist Melanie Oudin of the United States and Virginie Razzano of France, who inflicted Serena Williams's first opening-round loss at a major in the French Open last month.

The others are: British trio Laura Robson, Naomi Broady and Johanna Konta, Ashley Barty of Australia and Yaroslava Shvedova of Kazakhstan.
