The biggest Australian contingent in 30 years will contest Wimbledon after four more players came through qualifying to earn spots in the main draw, taking the total to 17.

Priscilla Hon, Talia Gibson, Alex Bolt and James McCabe all booked their spots, Hon and Gibson surviving match points, to join the mass of Australians in the field.

But 16-year-old rising star Emerson Jones failed at the final challenge as she sought to become the youngest Australian player since Ash Barty to make the singles main draw.

Hon was down 6-5, and then 0-40, in her clash with Canada’s Victoria Mboko before mounting a stunning comeback to win, saving five match points in the process.

Gibson also saved a match point at 5-3 in the third set before winning the next four games to progress to her first Wimbledon main draw.

McCabe qualified for the main draw on his first try by taking down the No.5 seed Marcelo Tomas Barrios Vera in four sets.

Bolt cruised through with a straight sets win over Spain's Martin Landaluce.
