LONDON (Reuters) - Garbine Muguruza is in for a tough Wimbledon but is favourite to take over from Serena Williams at the head of the women's game, according to former American great Chris Evert.

Spaniard Muguruza stunned Williams to win the French Open title earlier this month, having lost to the American in her grand slam final debut at Wimbledon last year.
