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

Simona Halep

Simon Halep is the current World Number 1

World No. 1 Simona Halep won her first Grand Slam at the 2018 French Open and is a 3-time Grand Slam finalist. Her best showing at Wimbledon was reaching the semi-finals in 2014, and she's also made quarter-final finishes the last 2 years.

Although grass is not her best surface, Halep will look to build on her recent Grand Slam breakthrough by making another deep run at Wimbledon.

Caroline Wozniacki

Caroline Wozniacki is the World Number 2

Caroline Wozniacki also had her Grand Slam breakthrough in 2018 by winning the Australian Open after two final finishes at the US Open. She has not had much success at Wimbledon though, reaching the fourth round on six occasions.

Her game seems particularly unsuited to the fast lawns of the All-England Club, so don't expert her to do too much damage here.

Garbine Muguruza

Garbine Muguruza

Garbine Muguruza is the defending champion and the 2015 runner-up. She is also the 2016 French Open champion, so it is clear she has the tools to perform well on all surfaces.

Muguruza hasn't had a great start to the grasscourt season, crashing out in the 2nd round of the Birmingham Classic, but she remains a strong contender.
