How many spots reserved for hosting country?

Question

do you think this is fair? does any other sports has the same kind of practice?

Answer 1

12 wildcards in both the men's and women's main draws, but the host country usually trades a few of those with the other grand slam host countries for wildcards in their events.  And the wildcards can actually be given to whoever the tournament organizers want, like this year the French Open organizers gave one to Gustavo Kuerten of Brazil, and one to Guillermo Coria of Argentina.  I think it's fair.  Every tournament, not just the grand slams, gets a certain number of wildcards that they can give to whoever they want.
