Wimbledon 2018: Top 11 contenders to win the women's title

Petra Kvitova

Petra Kvitova is a 2-time champion and World Number 5

Petra Kvitova is a 2-time champion but has not progressed past the 3rd round in the last 3 years. She is very comfortable on grass and won her warm up tournament at the Birmingham Classic. She is one of the strongest contenders without a doubt; some would even say she is the favorite.

Angelique Kerber is the World Number 11 and a former World Number 1

Angelique Kerber

Angelique Kerber was the runner-up in 2016, and while she lost early in her warm-up tournament in Mallorca she has the ability to go all the way.

Elina Svitolina, Caroline Garcia, Karolína Plískova and Jeļena Ostapenko have not had much success on grass recently, with only Ostapenko reaching the quarterfinals last year and the rest not getting past round 4. They remain dangerous floaters but are not likely to win the trophy.
