NOTTINGHAM duo Jocelyn Rae and Daniel Smethurst have both been handed wild cards for this month's Wimbledon Championships. 

Rae, from Arnold, will compete in the ladies' doubles with partner and fellow Brit Anna Smith. 

The pair will head to SW19 in fine form, having won the Aegon Trophy last week. They are now chasing an unprecedented double at the Nottingham Tennis Centre, setting their sights on the Aegon Challenge. 

This will be Rae's fifth time at Wimbledon – the last coming in 2011, when she made the third round of the mixed doubles with Colin Fleming. 

For Smethurst, who is based in Nottingham and will take part in the men's singles, this summer will be his first taste of a Grand Slam event. 

He was awarded a wild card for the Aegon Trophy, though was eliminated at the first hurdle as he fell to Bulgarian Dimitar Kutrovsky. 

Also handed a wild card for Wimbledon is Marcos Baghdatis, who clinched the men's Aegon Trophy in Nottingham at the weekend.
