Zverev is yet to do justice to his talent in Grand Slam tournaments. The German has already won 3 Masters 1000 trophies in his young career. He would be determined to change his early exit trend in this year’s Wimbledon.
Zverev has a powerful serve and big shots that makes his game suited to Grass. With Coach Ivan Lendl rejoining his camp, the young German is one of the players to watch at this year’s 3rd Grand Slam.
4. Stefanos Tsitsipas

The Greek sensation seems to get better with each passing tournament. He is one of the main Next-Gen contenders hoping to break the hegemony of the Big 3 in the important tennis tournaments.
Tsitsipas reached the 4th round at Wimbledon last year. This year he would be hoping for a better show as he has already impressed many during his Australian Open and French Open showing.
3. Rafael Nadal

Nadal is a 2 time Champion and 3 time finalist on the Grass of Wimbledon. Last few years have been difficult for the Spaniard at SW19 with some early round exits. However, Rafa seems to have buried these ghosts with his impressive showing in 2018. He reached the semis only to bow out to the eventual Champion Novak Djokovic in a 5 set classic.
