5. Daniil Medvedev
A polarizing figure, Daniil Medvedev, is one of the most funky players on the ATP Tour. His unorthodox play and awkward shots make his opponents uncomfortable as he uses his lanky build and sticky playstyle. He is also known for his showmanship and back-and-forths with the crowd.

1. Jannik Sinner
A top seed that casual fans may not be as familiar with, The Fox is emerging as one of the next generation's stars in tennis. Jannik Sinner's vicious backhand, which records the most topspin among all players on the ATP Tour, is the most lethal weapon at his disposal. He is also an incredible lateral mover and one of the world's most composed players.
2. Novak Djokovic
While Novak Djokovic may be slightly past his prime, the all-time leader in Grand Slams remains one of the top players in the world, even at 37 years old. He is incredible on offense and defense, and his motor never stops, even into the fifth set. He enters Wimbledon just weeks removed from surgery on his right knee after an injury suffered at the French Open, and he looked stellar in his opening-round victory over Vit Kopriva.
3. Carlos Alcaraz
Carlos Alcaraz is the golden child of the next generation. At just 21 years old, he is considered next in line among the all-time greats. His biggest strength is that he doesn't possess a weakness in his game. Play him deep, bring him to the net, and try to hit through him, but nothing works. You must play nearly perfect tennis to defeat the Spaniard. He is rightfully the second favorite at Wimbledon.
4. Alexander Zverev
While injuries have hampered a large part of Alexander Zverev's career, he has been at the peak of his game over the past few years. He is back up to fourth after his surge to No. 2 in the world two years ago. Entering Wimbledon, he is playing some of the best tennis of his life. He has an innate ability to wear down his opponents with his relentless power and movement. He has reached the semifinals or later in every slam except Wimbledon, where he has only gone as far as the fourth round.
