A lot of contenders and pretenders.
I'd say Fed is still favorite, but Delpo, Nadal, Cilic and Djoker can cause problems.
Baby Fed is yet to be seen post-RG as well.
Where are Murray, the two top Asian players, and top Australian in all of this mix?
Murray is probably not playing Wimbledon, he has not recovered from the hip surgery in time.
Nishikori is not that great on grass, and the other top Asian player - Chung? Not sure how he is fairing with his injuries, and/or how good he is on grass.
In other news. Federer has beaten Nick Kyrgios to get to the Stuttgart final against Raonic, and takes back the Number 1 spot in the process:
Good to see him back, unfortunately I doubt he will be match fit and ready to seriously challenge the likes of Fed at Wimbledon this year, but we will have to wait and see.
Draw is out and Federer has several big servers on his side in Isner and Karlovic, and there's Querrey and Anderson, and later Cilic. That won't be easy.
Nadal has Kyrgios, Sascha Zverev and Djokovic (not too worried about DelPo). Nadal's is more stacked on the bottom half, but Federer has some tough grass court opponents.

Isner is in the other Quarter, I doubt Fed has to worry about him, more likely Cilic for a semi, if things follow the seedings.
Karlovic is getting on in years, and not usually a threat in BO5.
Nadal has a good quarter, Delpo has not done much on grass since 2013 Wimby and should not be much of a concern as you pointed out, and could even make the semis or even final.
Andy Murray is also there, although not much is expected of him after such a long layoff.
Djoker has a pretty good draw too really, considering his lowered ranking and seeding, but Kyle Edmund as a Round 3 opponent could be tough.
Nick Kyrgios looms as a possible QF opponent, assuming neither are upset before that.
Still my favorite time of the year, let the fun on grass begin.
He is not quite match fit and ready for BO5 tournaments.
Although nobody expected him to win it, having not played tennis for nearly 12 months up until recently, it is still a big blow to the tournament.
He will not play again until the North American Summer Hard court swing, and will immediately start training on hard courts.
I can't believe Wawrinka and Dmitrov are matched up in the very first day. I guess Stan really has fallen on hard times. I didn't realize he had been hurt and struggling that much as opposed to his usual half-hearted efforts in non-majors.
