Ana Ivanovic
World Rank: 01
Age: 20, Nationality: Serbia
She may be younger than you, but Ana Ivanovic has been making moves in the tennis world since the age of five. She goes into Wimbledon as the #1 ranking woman in tennis. You’ve never even met a woman this good at anything, ever.
Daniela Hantuchova

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.
Alona Bondarenko
World Rank: 31
Age: 23, Nationality: Ukraine
Though Alona’s professional career began slowly in 2005, she comes into Wimbledon with a recent win in the ‘08 Australian Open doubles category…with her sister Kateryna, giving proof for the existence of God another solid argument.
Maria Kirilenko

In 2002, Maria Kirilenko became one of the youngest winners of the Canadian Open and the US Open Juniors. She goes into Wimbledon 2008 after winning the doubles title in Estoril, partnering Flavia Pennetta, and her fourth WTA title in Barcelona. Tell us she isn’t the next big thing.
Caroline Wozniacki
World Rank: 18
Age: 17

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 at the International Women’s Open. Keep your eye on this one, for more reason than one.
