| VERDICT |
 |
| Going for a title hat-trick this year, Williams will be hard to stop. Has dominated on the grass here over the past two years, dropping just two sets in that 14-match winning streak. Her power game is well suited to the slick surface and although she has yet to return to her best after a long injury lay-off, she starts a worthy favourite. |
