Sabine Lisicki

It happens every single year.

A handful of the most famous tennis players in the world get eliminated in the early stages of Wimbledon – and we're left to figure out who the heck the remaining players are.

Luckily, we're here to help.

Here are seven of the eight women's tennis players left in this year's draw at Wimbledon that you may not have heard of.

Each of these athletes are at least under the age of 26, but a few of them have found their way into the world top ten rankings.
