Wimbledon 2017: Updated Schedule, Draw Predictions Before Week 2 Action

Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal are all still in contention at 2017 Wimbledon ahead of the tournament's second week. All four can be expected to win in the last 16 of the men's draw on Monday.

Things won't be so straightforward for the favourites in the women's draw, where top seed Angelique Kerber is primed to suffer an upset against Garbine Muguruza. Agnieszka Radwanska can overcome Svetlana Kuznetsova, while Venus Williams will also make it through.

The full draw for the next round in the men's bracket is available on the tournament's official website, while the same source also has the draw for the women's event.

Here is the updated schedule for Monday's matches, per the BBC.

Big Names to Continue Through in Men's Bracket

The big names will continue to progress in the men's bracket, so Djokovic should be tipped to beat Adrian Mannarino. It was the latter who had the tougher route to the fourth round, being forced to survive a five-set tilt against fellow Frenchman Gael Monfils on Saturday.

Mannarino is battle-tested, but Djokovic has looked close to his best recently. The Serb was particularly impressive during his three-set destruction of Ernests Gulbis on Saturday.

Afterwards, Djokovic indicated he's still improving, per the tournament's official Twitter account:

It's been a tough year so far for Djokovic, but the 30-year-old knows what reward awaits if he wins at Wimbledon for a fourth time and gets some help, per Stuart Fraser of The Times:

Djokovic reclaiming the top spot in the rankings will also hinge on Murray coming unstuck in London. So far the Scot has looked composed enough to retain his title.

Murray will see off a capable Benoit Paire in short time despite being pushed to a fourth set by Fabio Fognini in the last round on Friday.

Yet it's not all about Murray and Djokovic in the bid to be named No. 1. Nadal is still in the hunt after winning his 10th French Open title earlier this year.

The Spaniard is now bidding to add the Wimbledon title for the first time since 2010. Nadal doesn't need to win the tournament to be named No. 1 in the world, though, per ATP Media Info:

Even so, Nadal will have too much for 16th seed Gilles Muller.

Yet the crowds at Wimbledon shouldn't get carried away by the buzz building around Murray, Djokovic and Nadal. All three still have a way to go to match Federer's pedigree at this tournament.

The 35-year-old seven-time winner is still living up to his billing as one of the sport's all-time greats. However, Federer will face a tricky opponent in Round 4, in the form of big-serving Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov.

Both players are among those who haven't lost a single set so far:

Federer made quick work of Dusan Lajovic before beating Mischa Zverev on Saturday, en route to the fourth round, but he will be pushed harder by Dimitrov before making it through.

Elsewhere, Tomas Berdych should have too much savvy for Dominic Thiem, who will be playing in Week 2 for the first time at Wimbledon. The skilled Marin Cilic will also have too much knowhow against Roberto Bautista Agut.

Both players will earn dubious rewards, though, with Berdych set to meet Djokovic in the next stage, while Cilic would be ticketed to face Nadal, assuming the results fall as predicted.

Things will be tougher to predict between Milos Raonic and precocious 20-year-old Alexander Zverev. The latter is a rising star, so Raonic's position as the sixth seed will guarantee little for the Canadian.

A Zverev and Federer quarter-final would be an intriguing next step in this bracket.

Finally, Sam Querrey will have to prove his endurance against Kevin Anderson after enduring a two-day tussle with Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the previous round. Querrey was put through his paces on Friday and Saturday, per Tom Allnutt of Press Association Sports:

Still, Querrey should have enough left in the tank to beat Anderson and book a potential match against Murray in the last eight.

Kerber Primed to Fall

The world No. 1 barely survived against 70th-ranked Shelby Rogers on Saturday, per Jonathan Jurejko of BBC Sport. Now Kerber is primed to fall when she meets Muguruza in the fourth round.

Muguruza's form has been somewhat inconsistent since winning the French Open in 2016, but the Spaniard has proved she can beat anybody on her day. She often saves her best for the bigger matches and will rise to the occasion to upset a sluggish Kerber.

One player who should have a keen eye on events between Kerber and Muguruza is second seed Simona Halep. She will be too good for Victoria Azarenka as she inches toward a possible semi-final meeting with either Williams or Elina Svitolina.

The latter will be facing French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko, who prefers to be known as Alona, according to Ben Rothenberg of the New York Times. Ostapenko showcased her impressive striking power when she won at Roland Garros, but Svitolina will have too much guile to be fooled by the Latvian's groundstrokes.

As for Williams, a potentially favourable draw against 27th-seed Ana Konjuh could help the 37-year-old, per Rothenberg:

Like Muguruza and Kerber, the other marquee match in the women's draw for Week 2 is a closer call. Ninth seed Radwanska can earn a tough win against Russia's Kuznetsova.

The seventh seed is playing some exceptional tennis but should have taken note of the way Radwanska fought back to beat Timea Bacsinszky in Round 3 on Saturday.

Johanna Konta can please the home crowd with a win over Caroline Garcia, while Petra Martic should make it through at the expense of Magdalena Rybarikova in a battle of non-seeded players. Finally, Caroline Wozniacki will prove too much for Coco Vandeweghe.

There are ample top seeds left in both draws, with a familiar winner sure to eventually emerge from the Murray, Nadal, Djokovic and Federer quartet in the men's bracket.
