Wimbledon's leading lads

Who will hold up the Wimbledon Trophy on Sunday 6th July? Rebecca Morris takes a look at the likely lads.

Andre Agassi (USA)

Age: 33 Height: 5ft 11in Weight: 12st 3lbSingles titles: 58 career prize money: $27,024,501 Seeded: 1

At 33, the old man of the tour remains the most popular player in tennis. The Las Vegas showman knows how to please the fans and marketing men alike.

He's earned the most money away from the court with lucrative sponsorship deals, which kick-started in the 1980's when he wore denim shorts for his matches, and the legend was made. In the ensuing years he toned down his clothes and shaved off his long flowing locks, losing none of his strength, to win all four of the Grand Slams at least once and an Olympic gold medal.

He divorced the Hollywood actress, Brooke Shields and married tennis supremo, Steffi Graf. They have a boy, Jaden Gil, and a baby due in November.

Useless fact: At the age of four he played against Bjorn Borg and Ilie Nastase - how he fared is not on record.

Lleyton Hewitt (AUS)

Age: 22 Height: 5ft 11in Weight: 10st 7lbSingles titles: 19 Career prize money: $11,504,240 Seeded: 2

The defending Wimbledon champion is one of the quickest players on the tour. His baseline game is dependent on foot speed, so he can run from side to side all day.

He is volatile on and off the court, where he spends a great deal of time trying to remove his foot from his mouth. At the French Open two years ago it was reported that he called an umpire a spastic.

People love him or hate him, especially the Australian public, who are not quite sure what to make of his on court antics and have been known to cheer when he gets knocked out of a tournament.

Useless fact: He has recently bought a house in Belgium with his girlfriend, women's world number two, Kim Clijsters.

Tim Henman (GBR)

Age: 28 Height: 6ft 1in Weight: 12st 1lbSingles titles: 9 Career prize money: $8,304,604 Seeded: 26

Tim carries the hopes of a nation on his injured shoulder, desperate for a home-grown champion. After reaching four semi-finals in five years on the green stuff and struggling with an injury in his serving arm, he's dropped down the rankings but still remains a big contender.

Watching his matches is like being on a roller-coaster ride - you are never sure what you will get. He usually lets commanding leads slip, only to prevail in the end, setting everyone's nerves on edge. Warning: do not watch if you have a heart condition.

Useless fact: In 1995, Tiger Tim was evicted from Wimbledon after he hit a ball away in anger during a doubles match and it struck a ball girl.

Andy Roddick (USA)

Age: 20 Height: 6ft Weight: 13st 2lbSingles titles: 7 Career prize money: $2,377,089 Seeded: 6

This brash American with a booming serve has given tennis that much needed injection of personality. With nicknames like A-Rod, Kid Roddick and Rock 'n' Roll Roddick it is no surprise that he shouts and screams on court, breaking a few rackets along the way. America looks to him to pick up the mantle when Agassi and Pete Sampras retire, and after winning The Stella Artois Championship - the Wimbledon warm-up tournament - he now looks set to fulfil his potential.

Useless fact: He is dating the young Hollywood actress Mandy Moore.
