TOP PREDICTIONS

Andy Murray enters the tournament in great form after winning the men's singles tournament at Wimbledon and defending his Olympic title. He's also just enjoyed a career-best 22-match winning run.

Novak Djokovic will remain the favourite, despite having some major upsets this year, most notably exiting the men's singles tournament in the first round at the Rio Olympics, as well as a third round departure at Wimbledon.

Meanwhile, Serena Williams is chasing her 23rd grand slam win, but at risk of being dethroned as world no.1 since February 2013, by Angelique Kerber.
