[1] Marin Cilic

Last’s year’s finalist, he used this tournament as a solid base that saw the bit serving Croatian also progress to his first Wimbledon final. His big serve and forehand combination works well on this surface.

He has the ability to skirt under the radar as always but it is a potentially tricky draw for him with the unpredictable Fernando Verdaso to start, and the flair and fearlessness of Denis Shapovalov who could also do a lot of damage in the grass.

Cilic’s Path to the Final (Ranking/Seeding)

  • R1: Fernando Vercdasco
  • R2: Denis Shapovalov
  • QF: Sam Querrey [5]
  • SF: David Goffin [4]
  • F: Grigor Dimitrov [2]

 

[2] Grigor Dimitrov

After finishing last year on a high, Dimitrov has been steady but not as remarkable as perhaps he would have liked, with some notable solid runs (Rotterdam finals, Monte Carlo semi-finals) but has not really translated that well to the Slams, where he really wants to excel.

Dimitrov’s Path to the Final (Ranking/Seeding)

  • R1: Damir Dzumhur
  • R2: Novak Djokovic [WC]
  • QF: Tomas Berdych [8]
  • SF: Kevin Anderson [3]
  • F: Marin Cilic [1]

[3] Kevin Anderson

Another Queen’s finalist whose big serving and hard-hitting game translates well to the surface, Anderson is looking to build on a fairly steady year. His highlights so far, have come on the hard courts of New York (title) and Acapulco (final) and he was steady on the US hard court spring swing.

Anderson’s Path to the Final (Ranking/Seeding)

  • R1: Leonardo Mayer
  • R2: Jared Donaldson
  • QF: Jack Sock [6]
  • SF: Grigor Dimitrov [2]
  • F: Marin Cilic [1]

 

[4] David Goffin

The Belgian makes another attempt to get some headway on the grass – normally found doing the warm-ups in Rosmalen and Halle, Goffin has yet to pick up back to back wins in London on his previous two attempts.

He had more luck on Rosmalen a couple of years ago, but a lot has changed for the Belgian, who capped his 2017 as the runner-up at the Nitto ATP World Tour Finals.

Goffin’s Path to the Final (Ranking/Seeding)

  • R1: Feliciano Lopez
  • R2: Milos Raonic
  • QF: Kyle Edmund [7]
  • SF: Marin Cilic [1]
  • F: Grigor Dimitrov [2]
The Fever-Tree Championships takes place between 18-24 June.
