Wimbledon 2012: Top Contenders Still in the Hunt

With one week of action nearly complete at Wimbledon, many of the top contenders such as Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Maria Sharapova are still competing in London.

As the tournament enters the fourth round, the matches should be longer and more competitive. Only the best players are remaining, and clashes between stars will make for a thrilling finish to the competition.

Let's look at the top contenders still in the hunt at Wimbledon.

Roger Federer

Julien Benneteau nearly completed a remarkable upset victory over Roger Federer on Friday but lost the final three sets of the match. Federer will play Xavier Malisse of Belgium in the fourth round.

Novak Djokovic

Djokovic's pursuit of a second straight Wimbledon crown would have been helped by a Federer loss on Friday, but the world's No. 1 ranked player is still a near-lock to reach the final again. The word's No. 1-ranked player will meet Viktor Troicki in the fourth round.

Maria Sharapova

Sharapova has been very impressive at Wimbledon and has only dropped one set for the entire tournament. She is playing some of the best tennis of her career right now and is certainly the favorite to win the tournament.

Agnieszka Radwanska

The No. 3 seed on the women's bracket is one of the lesser-known tennis stars trying to make a name for herself at Wimbledon. She will play Italian Camila Giorgi in the fourth round after a victory on Friday.
