It's two weeks of strawberries, cream and (hopefully) sunshine as the tennis circuit returns to its grandest stage, Wimbledon. Here's a quick guide to TENNIS.com's coverage of the action.

STARTER KIT

Get set for all the action at the All England Club with a full breakdown of the men’s and women’s draws, and see who the consensus favorites are with our poll of editors’ picks.

With such a short grass season and so few players who truly enjoy playing on it, Wimbledon is a place where the usual suspects tend to shine. Amelie Mauresmo and Justine Henin played a memorable three-set final on Centre Court last year and are cautiously optimistic about their chances this time around as well. Like last year, Henin will be bidding to complete a career Slam. Other women to watch include former champs Maria Sharapova and Serena Williams, as well as rising stars Jelena Jankovic and Ana Ivanovic.

On the men’s side, James Blake said he thought Roger Federer should be in good shape as he bids to win his fifth straight Wimbledon title – but that was before the two were drawn to meet in the quarterfinals. Other men to watch include former finalists Rafael Nadal and Andy Roddick, along with more recent breakouts like Novak Djokovic and Marcos Baghdatis.
