Caroline Wozniacki

World Rank: 18
Age: 17
Nationality: Denmark

Caroline began her career as the number one seeded player–and even though she’s young, she’s still got skills. The 17-year-old Danish player comes into Wimbledon having just beat the fourth ranking player in the world, Svetlana Kuznetsova (6-2, 6-2) at the June 18 International Women’s Open. Keep your eye on this one, for more reason than one.

Daniela Hantuchova already has three WTA singles trophies in the bag, winning the 2002 and 2007 Pacific Life Open tournaments and this year’s Generali Ladies Linz in Austria. However, she’s coming into Wimbledon after recovering from a broken right foot. If she’s as well healed as she is perky, we’re sure she’ll do just fine.

Elena Dementieva

Age: 26
Nationality: Russia

If you like to mix money and women, place your bets on this ravishing Russian winning the whole damn thing. She earned her first international title at age 13; went pro in ‘98, top 100 in ‘99. Elena goes into Wimbledon today after winning the Barclays Dubai Tennis Championships (and $1.5 million) this year, her first Tier II title since ‘06. We think she’s got another win up her sleeve, dress–she’s got it hidden there, somewhere.
