Four in the frame for the singles

1/4
10 April 2012
Marin Cilic (No11 seed)

Very soon the Croat will break through into the elite of the sport. A good serve and solid ground strokes give him the game for grass. If the 21-year-oldcan find the necessary self-belief, he will become as dangerous as compatriot Goran Ivanisevic on this surface.
1st rnd: F Mayer (Ger)

Lleyton Hewitt (No15 seed)

The Australian stunned the sport by defeating Roger Federer in the final of the Halle event in Germany on Sunday. It reminded everyone of how effective the 29-year-old Australian's baseline game is on grass and why he was crowned champion here in 2002.
1st rnd: M Gonzalez (Mex)

Kim Clijsters (No8 seed)

Capped a fairytale return from retirement last year by winning the US Open and the Belgian is capable of taking this title even though a recent injury has left her short of match practice. The 27-year-old's ground strokes are tough enough to make even the Williams' worry.
1st rnd: ME Camerin (Ita)

Maria Sharapova (No16 seed)

The 2004 champion has overcome her chronic shoulder problems and all that is now lacking is the killer instinct that used to make her so hard to beat. The 23-year-old Russian likes the grass and it will only take a couple of good wins to restore that self-belief.
1st rnd: K Bondarenko (Ukr)
