Pre-Tournament Odds 150/1
Became Pro 2002
Seeding 13
World Ranking 10
Some may be surprised to see Wawrinka's name in the world's top 10, but his 2008 form explains why. A runner-up in Doha and quarter-finalist in Indian Wells, the Swiss destined to live in Roger Federer's shadow has more recently made his first Masters Series final (in Rome) and reached the last four in Barcelona. However, the switch to the lawns of SW19 won't be welcomed. Reaching the second week for the first time looks a realistic aim.
