Men’s Singles

Carlos Alcaraz – 5/4

Carlos Alcaraz heads to Wimbledon with high expectations, priced as the favourite at 5/4.

The Spaniard is the defending champion after his stunning five-set victory over Novak Djokovic in last year’s final, and his explosive game and confidence on grass make him a serious contender once again.

Alcaraz has continued to evolve his game, combining powerful groundstrokes with deft touch at the net. If he maintains his form and composure, there’s every chance he could lift the Wimbledon trophy for a third year in succession and further cement his status as the future of men’s tennis.

Jannik Sinner – 2/1

Jannik Sinner arrives at Wimbledon full of confidence and momentum after a strong season that saw him claim his first Grand Slam title at the Australian Open.

Now the world No.1, he is currently priced at 2/1 to win Wimbledon this year. Sinner’s powerful baseline game, precise ball-striking, and ever-improving movement make him a genuine threat on grass.

Although Wimbledon has not been his most successful Slam, his semi-final run in 2023 showed he can adapt to the surface. With a more complete game and greater belief, Sinner is poised to challenge for the title this year and continue his rise as one of the sport’s elite talents.

Novak Djokovic – 6/1

Novak Djokovic’s hopes for Wimbledon remain strong, even as he continues to recover from a recent knee surgery. The seven-time champion has dominated the lawns of SW19 for over a decade, and if fit, he may well be the man to beat.

Djokovic’s unmatched experience, mental resilience, and adaptability on grass have made him nearly untouchable at the All-England Club. While questions remain over his fitness, few can discount his ability to rise to the occasion.

If he’s anywhere near full strength, Djokovic will be a major contender for a record-equalling eighth Wimbledon crown. 6/1 looks a fair each-way bet.

Jack Draper – 18/1

Jack Draper heads to Wimbledon with a surge of momentum and growing expectations.

Currently priced at 18/1, the hometown hero recently claimed his first ATP title in Stuttgart, showcasing his powerful serve, athleticism, and improving mental toughness on grass – a surface that suits his game perfectly.

After an injury-plagued start to his career, Draper is now stringing together wins and gaining invaluable experience against top-level opponents. With home support behind him and his confidence building, Draper has the tools to make a deep run at Wimbledon. This could be the year he truly announces himself on the Grand Slam stage.

Women’s Singles

Aryna Sabalenka – 11/4

Aryna Sabalenka arrives at Wimbledon as the tournament favourite at 11/4, thanks to her explosive power and big-match experience.

A two-time Grand Slam champion, she’s proven she can go deep in majors. Although grass is not her strongest surface, her aggressive game and improved mental resilience make her a serious threat at SW19.

Elena Rybakina – 11/2

Wimbledon champion in 2022, Elena Rybakina knows exactly what it takes to win on the lawns of the All-England Club.

Her effortless power, calm demeanour, and precise serving suit grass perfectly. If fully fit, she’ll be one of the toughest players to beat in the draw. 11/2 looks a good-value bet.

Coco Gauff – 7/1

Coco Gauff has matured into a consistent Grand Slam contender, and Wimbledon has always brought out the best in her.

Since bursting onto the scene here at a young age, her game has developed significantly. With improved serve and tactical awareness, she’s ready to make another strong challenge on grass.
