There are no favorites—except fan favorite Serena Williams—in this year's women's draw. An evenly matched field promises plenty of early twists and turns, but who can cut through the noise?

A look at four big-picture themes ahead of the upcoming North American hard-court swing.

The Romanian fought off a late push from the American to reach her third semifinal at SW19 with a 6-2, 6-4 victory Wednesday.
