Week #26 preview: Wimbledon

Wimbledon (GBR), Grand Slam, £3,925,000
Here it is again the most historic and elegant Grand Slam, played on the grass courts of The All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club in Wimbledon, London. And as in Roland Garros a few weeks ago, there will be another battle for the World's number 1, with Ana Ivanovic defending her leadership, and Jelena Jankovic, Maria Sharapova and Svetlana Kuznetsova trying to take it. The battle for the title will also be very open and, aside from the players already named, we must consider 4-times winner Venus Williams and 2-times winner Serena Williams amongst the favorites. Other players who could also have a good performance are last year runner-up Marion Bartoli, former champion LLindsay Davenport, Roland Garros runner-up Dinara Safina and youngster Agnieszka Radwanska.
