2016 Wimbledon Championships - Women

[britbox]

Well Britbox - start rooting for Cibu she just won Eastbourne 75 63 over Pliskova so she has the momentum - why not?

She's having a good year... really pleased with that result, also good to see Caro back in the mix!

Garbiñe says it's hard to change from clay to grass, also she says that she can move better and faster on clay than grass because her height
But she reached the final last year, why not this year too? Vamos!

Hoping Serena can get the 22nd here but not sure she will do it. Madison Keys has a good chance of taking it all.

Quite a few people liking Keys here @Tenfan63 - I'll be following her progress closely.

Yeah I have to agree with those tipping Keys as an outside bet. I think Serena could have potential trouble in Round 3 against Mladenovic but other than that she could coast through. I'd back Serena over Keys in a final, but if Serena slips up prior to that, Keys is definitely my pick. Wouldn't want to come up against Cibulkova or Strycova in the first week.

Looking forward to seeing how Cibu gets on... Good win in Eastbourne. I hope she brings it to Wimbledon... and she's also back in the Top 20.

Begu and Shelby Rogers out already....

Garbi needs to find the game, she looks still a little bit passive
