Outside of overall winners Rafael Nadal and Maria Sharapova, the 2014 French Open ended in heartbreak.

But with another Grand Slam coming up in just a few weeks, it's already time to turn the page. For players who made a run to the quarters, semis or final match, another huge tournament might be in store.

On the men's side, no player has more on the line than Andy Murray. After being trounced by Nadal at Roland Garros, the defending champion still comes into Wimbledon with plenty of confidence after reaching just his second French Open semifinal.

For the women, Simona Halep is on a tear and could be in line for another run in London. While she still doesn't have a Grand Slam title to her name, it appears likely that she'll claim one sooner rather than later.

With Wimbledon getting underway on June 23, here's a look at some of the top contenders who will continue their momentum from Roland Garros.

 

Andy Murray



Last season, the tennis world was relieved to see Murray finally claim the Wimbledon title for his countrymen.

After tying for his career-best performance at Roland Garros, Murray comes into London eyeing a repeat. He also comes in with a new coach in Amelie Mauresmo, per Naila-Jean Meyers of The New York Times, who won a Wimbledon title of her own in 2006.

Murray's mother, Judy Murray, expressed her thoughts on the decision:



The two-time Grand Slam winner has been without a coach since March, so having more support in his corner will be crucial. With the grass court season coming up, his decision couldn't have come at a more perfect time.

After rejoining the top five, thanks to a strong showing in the French Open, repeating at Wimbledon would boost him back into his rightful place in the Big Four.
