Who will win the Wimbledon women's title?
McEnroe: Barty. She has a great, pure grass-court game, now with confidence as the French Open champ.
Evert: Serena. She's the best and most experienced grass-court player. I think she's worked hard getting ready for grass season.
Gilbert: I thought there might be 15 who could win Paris, and maybe there are 10 who can do it at Wimbledon. Barty is on a tremendous roll, even though she is in a group of death quarter of the draw. I think she can make it two Slams in a row.
Fernandez: Serena. Even though she hasn't played much this year, this is her best surface. If she's 100% healthy, she will be very tough to beat with her weapons on serve and return.
Drysdale: There are several "ifs" in the women's draw. The No. 1 if: If
Petra Kvitova is playing injury-free, she is even in the winner's stakes with Serena Williams.
Shriver: Barty. Her athleticism and game style are perfect for grass. On the heels of
Naomi Osaka's surprising back-to-back majors at the US Open and Australian Open, Barty will keep the pattern going during the most unpredictable and balanced 1 through 15 seeds in WTA history at Wimbledon.
Cahill: Serena. We will see the best of Serena this year at The Championships. She is in a brutal quarter of the draw, but that's just how she likes it. Grand Slam title No. 24 is waiting, and Serena will bring it from the opening round to send a message to the field.
Stubbs: I have no idea, but I am going to go with Serena. I think it might be her last stand to break the record for all-time slams. (Williams has 23, one behind Margaret Court.)
Bodo: It's a big ask of Barty, who has played an awful lot of tennis lately, but she is a tough young player, and she has a refreshing, no-nonsense, old-school Aussie way about her. No drama, no complications, no overthinking any aspect of it. Just what the WTA tour needs at this moment.
Roenigk: Barty stands up to the pressure of her first Grand Slam as the No. 1 seed (and No. 1 player in the world) and delivers.
Maine: Barty. Aside from that whole winning her first Grand Slam title at Roland Garros just a few short weeks ago and becoming the new world No. 1, the 23-year-old Australian just won a grass title at Birmingham and believes herself to be stronger and more dangerous on the surface than she is on clay. She looks virtually unstoppable right now, so I'm banking on the Barty Party continuing at Wimbledon and into the hard-court season.
Hamilton: Barty has had a nagging arm injury, but she is best placed to make it two Slams in a row to continue her remarkable run of form after winning the French Open. With injury doubts clouding Serena Williams and Kvitova, Barty could dominate the women's draw.
Bembry: With nine different winners in the past 10 Grand Slam events, the question among the women is less "Who will win?" and more "Who's next?" I'll go with the woman who has had the most success at Wimbledon: Serena Williams, even with the tough draw.
Cambers: Barty. Her win at the French Open was a joy to see, a player with real variety able to blunt the power games of some of the big hitters to win her first Grand Slam. A former junior champion at Wimbledon, Barty's game is even more suited to grass. If she can handle the pressure, she is the woman to beat.
