Stan Wawrinka and Milos Raonic have both returned from injury

Stan Wawrinka has been a pale shade of his former self after his return from knee surgery and is currently ranked No. 263. His best showing at Wimbledon has been the quarter-finals, which he reached on two occasions.

Milos Raonic, on the other hand, is the 2016 Wimbledon finalist. The Canadian made a strong start to the grasscourt season by reaching the final of the Stuttgart Open, but withdrew from the Queen's Club Championships due to a muscle strain in the right pectoral.

Judging by the current situation of both Wawrinka and Raonic, it is unclear how far they can progress at Wimbledon.


Juan Martin del Potro and Grigor Dimitrov

Juan Martin Del Potro and Grigor Dimitron have not had much success at Wimbledon

Juan Martin Del Potro and Grigor Dimitrov have both reached the Wimbledon semis in the past: Del Potro in 2013 and Dimitrov in 2014. However, they have not had much success on grass apart from those runs.

Even though this has been one of the best ever seasons for the Argentine, do not expect him to go past the third or fourth round. As for the Bulgarian, a deep run seems unlikely considering the meek fashion in which he folded against Djokovic at Queen's last week.

Americans Jack Sock and Sam Querrey are dangerous floaters, especially Querrey who was a semi-finalist last year and a quarter-finalist in 2016. Another American, John Isner, is always dangerous on grass because of his serve. These three can create upsets in the draw but it would be a surprise to see them going all the way.
