Grigor Dimitrov
The 2008 junior Wimbledon champion has never progressed beyond the second round in four attempts. The Bulgarian’s victory at Queen’s Club, however, makes him a dark horse. With Murray and Djokovic his possible opponents in the second week, it is not going to be easy, but you can never rule him out.
Milos Raonic
The Canadian has shown more than a few weaknesses on grass, but he has got a massive weapon: his serve. If he gets that right, Raonic should get past his early opponents and then Kei Nishikori in the fourth round. He faces Rafael Nadal in the quarter-final but, if the Spaniard slips up, a semi-final showdown against Roger Federer could be on the cards.
Victoria Azarenka
The former world No 1, who is returning from a three-month injury break, might seem a surprise choice. But look at the draw – she opens against Mirjana Lucic-Baroni and then meets either Johanna Larsson or Bojana Jovanovski, and Garbine Muguruza (3rd round), Lucie Safarova (4th round), Agnieszka Radwanska (QF) and Li Na (SF).
Eugenie Bouchard
The Canadian sensation also has momentum on her side with semi-final appearances at both the Australian and French Opens, but the draw has not been kind to the youngster with a possible last-16 clash against Williams, then Sharapova in the next round. The 2012 junior Wimbledon champion, however, has the game and confidence to go all the way.
Garbine Muguruza
The 20-year-old Spaniard has shown some consistent results at grand slam tournaments this season, reaching the fourth round in Melbourne before losing to Agnieszka Radwanska. In Paris, she knocked out Serena Williams and stretched eventual champion Maria Sharapova to three sets in the quarter-final. She is not in the same half as those two this time and could go deep into the second week.
