JARMILA Gajdosova has sensationally claimed the final women's singles wildcard into Wimbledon with a brilliant display at the Nottingham Challenger.

Stricken with illness for much of last season, world No.223 Gajdosova destroyed third seed and world No.95 Timea Bacsinszky 6-2 6-2 in the singles decider to earn the last main draw invitation to the All England Club.

The right-hander's effort leaves Australia with a minimum of eight singles contenders at Wimbledon next week.

The others are Sam Stosur, Casey Dellacqua, Lleyton Hewitt, Marinko Matosevic, Bernard Tomic, Matt Ebden and Nick Kyrgios, who also clinched a Wimbledon wildcard by winning the Nottingham Challenger.

Gajdosova completed an incredible day by partnering fellow Victorian Arina Rodionova to a 7-6 (9-7) 6-1 doubles triumph over Paraguay's Veronica Cepede Royg and Liechtenstein's Stephanie Vogt.

Several other Wimbledon aspirants will sign on for qualifying at Roehampton on Monday, including Sam Groth and Ash Barty.

Defending champions Barty and Casey Dellacqua on Saturday night failed to defend the Aegon Classic doubles crown, falling 7-6 (7-1) 6-1 to Raquel Kops-Jones and Abigail Spears.

Tomic and Stosur will contest the Eastbourne International at Eastbourne this week, while Edben travels to 's-hertogenbosch for the Topshelf Open in the Netherlands.
