Wimbledon: Heather Watson & Paul Jubb among singles wildcards

Britain's Heather Watson and Paul Jubb are among the first raft of players given Wimbledon singles wildcards.

Watson, an ever present in the main draw since 2010, is ranked 122nd in the world, but showed good grass-court form in making the last eight in Surbiton.

Teenager Jubb became the first Briton to win the prestigious NCAA college title in the United States in May.

Fellow Britons Jay Clarke, James Ward, Harriet Dart and Katie Swan have also been given a place in the 28 June draw.

"Beyond happy to play my first Wimbledon and be given this amazing opportunity," Jubb, 19, tweeted.
