Wimbledon 2013: What to Watch for in Week 2 at All England Club

After a first week that saw three previous champions fall within the first two rounds, the second week of Wimbledon has a tough act to follow in regards to drama.

The top seeds are still in place, but many of Serena Williams and Novak Djokovic's rivals have bitten the dust. Here's what to watch for during the second week at the All England Club.

What Top-Five Seeded Player Will Be the Next To Fall?

In the men's draw, three of the top-five seeded men are still alive. Djokovic, Andy Murray and David Ferrer have had little issues through the two rounds. Only Ferrer has dropped a set (he's lost one in each match) en route to the third round.

In the women's draw, only last year's finalist Williams and Agnieszka Radwanska are still playing amongst the ladies seeded in the top five. Neither woman has dropped a set, but Williams is set for her first real test of the tournament if she beats Kimiko Date-Krumm in the third round.

The winner of the Samantha Stosur-Sabine Lisicki match could possibly push Williams. Stosur beat her in the finals of the 2011 U.S. Open.

That would make for an interesting fourth-round matchup.

Despite Stosur's victory over Williams two years ago, the latter is playing at the top of her game right now. Stosur would be hard-pressed to repeat that feat anywhere—let alone on grass at Wimbledon.

Fans can look forward to a semifinal matchup with Radwanska. It is hard to see her or Williams losing before then.

As for the men, Ferrer is more than likely the next to fall. A potential meeting with Juan Martin Del Potro in the quarterfinals could be his undoing.

Will Andy Murray Finally Capture a Wimbledon Championship?

It has been 77 years since a British man won Wimbledon. Murray reached the final in 2012, but he was denied by Roger Federer. He did win a gold medal in London, but with all due respect to the Olympics, it isn't quite the same as winning Wimbledon.

With Fed's chances already vanquished after a stunning second-round exit at the hands of Sergiy Stakhovsky, Murray's path is clearer.

Djokovic still sits on the other side of the draw, as do any unrecognized upstarts looking to squash Murray's dream, but this looks to be the 26-year-old's best chance at All England Club glory.

Will Someone Have a Breakout Performance?

Though Murray has never won Wimbledon, he is the No. 2-ranked player in the world and seeded second in the draw. He's already won the U.S. Open in 2012.

A win at Wimbledon is a long time coming and not exactly what one would call a potentially breakout performance.

Wins from players like Radwanska, Del Potro, Sloane Stephens or even 2010 finalist Tomas Berdych would be better examples. At 27 years old, Berdych is the oldest of the group. Del Potro is the only one who has won a Grand Slam. He won the 2009 U.S. Open, but his ascension to one of the game's top players has stagnated.

At 24 years old, he's still got his best days ahead of him. Winning Wimbledon after never advancing past the fourth round in any previous attempt would be huge.

Radwanska is so close to winning a Grand Slam, having reached the finals in London last year and at least the quarterfinals in every Grand Slam since the beginning of 2012.

Logically, the 24-year-old from Poland would appear to be next in line for a big Grand Slam win.

Last, but certainly not least, is Stephens. Though she appears to be the furthest from serious contention, she has the most star power. She just turned 20 years old, has a beautiful smile and has already made some off-the-court news in a since resolved tiff with Williams.

Stephens winning Wimbledon would be the biggest tennis story of the year and one of the biggest sports angles as well.

We'll have to wait and see if any of these young players play their way into more relevancy.
