Jonah Bryant, one of Englands top prospects, is one of four home wildcards for the upcoming British Open in Birmingham.

Bryant, playing his debut first round in the showpiece, will be joined by male compatriot Simon Herbert while Torrie Malik and Asia Harris are the womens wildcards this year.

The 18-year-old Bryant is currently ranked World No.72 and has already claimed six titles on the Challenger Tour this season, most recently the Irish Open in Dublin.

The Rob Owen charge will take on Youssef Ibrahim, of Egypt, in his opening round.

Meanwhile, defending champions Ali Farag and Nour ElSherbini have been named as the top seeds for the British Open 2024, taking place from 2-9 June. 

An all-glass show court will again be erected in Birminghams Rep Theatre, with play also coming from the Edgbaston Priory Club for the first two rounds.

Womens top seed ElSherbini captured last years title in great style, beating Nouran Gohar in straight games to claim a third British Open trophy. The 28-year-old has been in great form this season and will be aiming to claim a seventh win of the 2023/24 campaign.

The World No.1 also has a chance to claim revenge over Malaysias Sivasangari Subramaniam early in the competition as that match up takes place in round two after the pair receive opening round byes.

Farag produced an unbelievable performance in last years championships, where he do so while fasting. 

Since last years victory, Farag has reached the final in all but one of the 15 events that he has played in, winning in 10 of those finals. The World No.1 recently claimed his 40th PSA win in El Gouna.

It was during last years British Open that Peruvian Diego Elias achieved his childhood dream to become World No.1. The 27-year-old was guaranteed to rise to the summit after Gawad downed Mohamed Elshorbagy in round three. 

The man who has most recently overtaken Elias is No.4 seed Mostafa Asal. Also a former World No.1, Asal has returned to form in recent months under the guidance of James Willstrop.

The World No.4 finds himself in the same half of the draw as No.2 seed Paul Coll and will still have the London Classic final on his mind as he seeks revenge.
