| VERDICT |
 |
| Sharapova announced herself as a true star by winning last year's Wimbledon title with a stunning victory over Serena Williams in the final. Despite struggling on the slower claycourts recently, she is currently challenging for the world number one spot. The Russian blonde bombshell will be glad to be back on the grass where she has always looked more comfortable. Wasn't at her best when winning in Birmingham recently, but can be expected to mount another strong challenge. |
