Wimbledon 2013: Top Storylines to Watch During Week 2 Action

Regardless of how the second week of the Championships at the All England Club play out this summer, Wimbledon 2013 is a lock to go down in history as one of the most surprising of all time.

An upset-filled first week of action saw a handful of former champions and former world No. 1s go down to unknown players with nothing to lose.

Even more stunning, seven-time winner Roger Federer and two-time champion Rafael Nadal were both ousted within the first three days of the tournament.

With Week 2 underway, let's take a closer look at the top storylines to watch for the rest of the way at Wimbledon.

Wide Open Women's Draw

The women's singles draw is officially wide open following Sabine Lisicki's shocking upset of Serena Williams on Monday, via Wimbledon:

The reigning champion and odds-on favorite is now out, joining Maria Sharapova and Victoria Azarenka on the sidelines.

Meanwhile, top seeds Agnieszka Radwanska, Li Na and Petra Kvitova all remain alive as we gear up for the quarterfinals.

But any of the eight women remaining could win this summer. 2007 finalist Marion Bartoli is still in the mix, as is Kirsten Flipkens and American Sloane Stephens.

Kvitova is the only former Wimbledon champion remaining in the draw, but considering how prominent upsets have been thus far, her past success here means absolutely nothing. 

Lukasz Kubot Still Alive in the Men's Draw

If you've never heard the name Lukasz Kubot before, don't worry, you're not alone. 

Currently ranked 130th in the world, the 31-year-old Pole is in the midst of a memorable run at the All England Club, reaching the quarterfinals on Monday after taking out Frenchman Adrian Mannarino in five sets.

Kubot reached the fourth round at Wimbledon back in 2011, but this year he wasn't even supposed to survive past Round 2.

Luckily for the veteran, Rafael Nadal was upset in the first round by Steve Darcis, who then withdrew from the tournament shortly after, opening the door for Kubot to stroll into the third round. 

Up next for Kubot, who has reached the quarterfinals at a major for the first time in his career this summer, is 24th-seeded countryman Jerzy Janowicz. 

Andy Murray Looks to End British Drought

Wimbledon hasn't celebrated a British men's champion since Fred Perry last won in 1936. That's the history Andy Murray will be going up against in the second week at the All England Club (via Wimbledon):

But with both Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal going down early in the tournament, Murray should have only a pair of winnable matches standing in his way of Sunday's championship match on Centre Court, where the world No. 2 would likely meet 2011 winner Novak Djokovic.

The two men are clearly the best players still alive this summer, and will be the favorites to reach the final this coming weekend.

Murray has met Djokovic three times in Grand Slam finals, beating him once at the 2012 U.S. Open last September in an epic five-set match. Most recently, Djokovic defeated Murray in the 2013 Australian Open final.

But this is Wimbledon, Murray's home Slam and the one he must win to become an instant legend.
