Odds: 16/1

Ranking: 7 It was at Wimbledon three years ago that Kyrgios announced himself to the tennis world with a thumping four-set win over the then world No 1 Rafael Nadal. Kyrgios, 22, has not matched that run in his two subsequent visits, but hopes are high that the ludicrously talented Aussie can make good on his potential and reach the semifinals or beyond this time around. Assuming he has recovered from the hip injury he picked up at Queen’s then the main obstacle to Kyrgios progressing will be his suspect temperament and sometimes wavering motivation. The draw has done him no favours. Best: Quarter-final (2014)

Odds: 25/1

Best: Second round (2015, 2016) Odds: 40/1

Ranking: 8
