Ladies:

The contenders:
Men's:
Novak Djokovic:
The favorite for obvious reasons. He is a 3 time champion and a 2 time defending champion, who is going for his 5th consecutive major title.
Andy Murray:
The Scottish..I mean British player is the one to watch out for I feel. He is playing in the most interesting Wimbledon of his lifetime. He has backed the Scottish independence cause in the past Will he embody it by the end of the next 2 weeks?
Roger Federer:
The Maestro!!! The 7 time champ and runner up in the last 2 years. He has not been playing well this spring/summer due to injuries. He played in 2 grass tournaments earlier and lost in the SFs to youngsters. Is his age finally catching up to him, or does he have what it takes for one more title? I have to say, his draw is looking good to till the SF. (Potential Djokovic clash!!). But is he playing well enough to get there?
The Pretenders:
Milos Raonic:
Raonic reached the semifinals in 2014 Wimbledon losing to Fed, and the final at the 2016 Queens losing to Murray. He has now added John McEnroe to his coaching team hoping to improve his net game and skills. Can he make a deep run here? And if he can, is he capable of playing his best in the later stages?
Dominic Thiem:
The rising star has made a statement this year by beating Federer at Stuttgart in the SF and winning the title. He also made the Halle SF and lost to Florian Mayer, who went on to win the title. Unfortunately for him, he is going to be playing that very same Mayer in the first round. We will see what happens..
Grigor Dimitrov:
He is scheduled to clash with Federer in the 4th round if they both make it through. Can he finally make a big breakthrough against this version of Federer?
Women's :
Serena Williams
Has lost her last 2 GS finals. She is so close to Graf, but is her age also finally catching up to her?
Garbine Muguruza
Last year's finalist and this year's French Open Champion. She is out to dispel any notions of curses.
More to come. Sorry for the short OP.
