Wimbledon betting odds and players to watch
The French Open is officially in the rearview mirror, with Carlos Alcaraz defeating Jannik Sinner in a classic men’s final and Coco Gauff beating Aryna Sabalenka in a thrilling women’s final. Now, we’ll be setting our sights on Wimbledon, which is the most prestigious tennis tournament in the world — and the oldest. On the men’s side, not only will Alcaraz be going for his second major in a row, but he’ll also be looking to win Wimbledon for the third consecutive year. He beat Novak Djokovic in the final for the second year in a row in 2024. On the women’s side, Barbora Krejcikova is the defending champion, as she beat Jasmine Paolini in last year’s final.
The action at the All England Club in London, England might be a few weeks away, but the grass-court season is over in a blur. With that in mind, I wanted to do an early dive into some of the favorites, while also highlighting some other players that can do more damage than normal in these faster conditions.

Wimbledon Favorites – Men
Carlos Alcaraz (+150)
Jannik Sinner (+160)
We all saw the final between these two at Roland Garros. For over five hours, these future Hall of Famers put on a show on the red clay. The pace of the match was outrageous, the shot making was out of this world and the overall level reached by both players makes it easy to envision a rematch at the All England Club. The gap between these two and everybody else feels wider than ever right now.
Alcaraz is rightfully the favorite heading into this event. The Spaniard has won back-to-back Wimbledon titles, and he’s now 24-3 on grass in his ATP career. That’s a winning percentage of 88.9%, and two of his wins came against Djokovic in the finals. Beating Djokovic on Centre Court is one of the true “final boss” situations in the sport, but Alcaraz didn’t flinch despite having little experience on the surface heading into 2023. Alcaraz’s speed allows him to play elite defense even on the fastest of surfaces, but the grass also makes all of his other skills more dangerous. The Spaniard’s serve becomes harder to return, his dropshot is a little more lethal and his ability to slice is rewarded with the lower bounces. It’s going to take a flawless performance from somebody to knock him off. Also, as far as head-to-head matchups go, Alcaraz has won five in a row against Sinner. And while Djokovic has won two in a row against Alcaraz, the Spaniard has had his number on grass.
As for Sinner, that final in Paris is going to hurt for quite some time. Sinner took the first two sets, was up a break in the third and had three championship points in the fourth. He was the better player in that match for several hours, but Alcaraz was fitter and bolder. If Sinner is going to beat Alcaraz once and for all, the Italian has to be a little more aggressive when he has chances. Far too often, he grooved shots into the court in attacking situations. That won’t fly against Alcaraz, who always plays with an admirable fearlessness. The good news for Sinner is that he owns Djokovic, and nobody else has really given the Italian any trouble. So, at the very least, Sinner should feel good about putting himself in a position to face Alcaraz. And maybe the faster conditions at the All England Club will give him the nudge he needs to beat him. If he happens to make some first serves against Alcaraz on grass, that would go a long way towards tilting the match in his favor. Sinner has had trouble serving against Alcaraz. Part of that has to do with Alcaraz demanding you aim for smaller targets, but some of it is just bad timing. Eventually Sinner will put together a solid serving performance against Alcaraz, and if he does it at Wimbledon then he should find a way to beat him.
Wimbledon Players To Watch – Men
Novak Djokovic (+700)
The Sinner matchup gives Djokovic some problems, but he played him extremely close in Paris. A 6-4, 7-5, 7-6 (3) loss to a red-hot Sinner is hardly a death sentence for the 38-year-old. In fact, the Serbian showed that he’s clearly the third-best player in tennis right now, and it isn’t crazy to think that he can claim a 25th Grand Slam before the end of the season. Well, Wimbledon definitely gives him the best chance. Djokovic’s movement isn’t as good as it used to be, nor is his stamina. But his ball striking has been phenomenal over the last month or so. Combining that with his ability to rack up holds on this low-bouncing surface should make him a real factor at this tournament.
The big question with Djokovic: How seriously is he taking his preparation for this event? The seven-time Wimbledon champion isn’t scheduled to play any grass-court events before heading to the All England Club. That’s not that crazy considering he hasn’t played a single non-Wimbledon grass event since he played Queen’s Club in 2018. But does practicing on grass and jumping straight into the fire work at 38 years old? We saw how much it helped that Djokovic decided to play Geneva before the French Open.
Jack Draper (10-1)
The biggest threat to the “New Two” of Sinner and Alcaraz could be Draper. While the Brit lost to Alexander Bublik in the quarterfinals at Roland Garros, he should be an entirely different beast on grass. The 23-year-old is 15-7 on the surface in his career, and he won a title in Stuttgart last year. Draper also has a win over Alcaraz on this surface, which is really something when you factor in the way he beat up on the Spaniard at Indian Wells a couple of months ago. If Draper sees Alcaraz at Wimbledon, he’s not going to be scared. He’ll also fancy his chances against Sinner, even if that matchup does present some more problems for him.
Draper’s big lefty serve is a serious weapon on this surface, and so is his ability to move around at his size. Draper is also just great at generating angles with his groundstrokes, he’s comfortable at the net and he’ll have the home crowd every round. All of that, combined with his improved conditioning, makes him a threat to win this tournament eventually. Why not now?
Jakub Mensik (50-1)
Mensik’s track record in best-of-five events isn’t all that impressive, and I can’t say I actually see him making a very deep run at Wimbledon in 2025. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if this is a bit of a breakout major for the up-and-coming Czech star. Mensik won the Miami Open with his booming first serve and wicked backhand. Those two weapons, combined with good baseline maneuverability, are the reasons people are so high on Mensik’s future. Well, his skill set should make for an intriguing fit on the grass, and I don’t think we’ll have to wait too long before he puts a stamp on the All England Club. If he just has a decent two weeks from the forehand wing, like he did in South Beach, he should terrorize some opponents for a couple of rounds. Big servers are always more dangerous at Wimbledon than other majors, and Mensik is more than just a big server.

Wimbledon Favorites – Women
Aryna Sabalenka (+300)
Elena Rybakina (+600)
Coco Gauff (+650)
Iga Swiatek (+800)
Sabalenka wasn’t able to play Wimbledon last year, but she should be ready to rock this year. Well, if Sabalenka is in it, should could very well win it. Sabalenka really should have won the title at Roland Garros, but her game unraveled in the final against Gauff. Well, playing on grass would solve that problem. Sabalenka shouldn’t have to play as many shots on a faster surface like grass, meaning she won’t have as many chances to rack up unforced errors. Her ability to pummel serves and bash winners from the back of the court should end points a lot quicker on grass than they did on clay.
Rybakina might be the biggest threat to Sabalenka at Wimbledon. The 25-year-old won this tournament back in 2022, and her awesome first serve and ability to hit big, flat shots from the baseline makes her a real threat on grass. The problem is that Rybakina has been an up-and-down player for most of 2025. Can she put together a full two weeks of high-level play?
Players like Gauff and Swiatek — and even Mirra Andreeva — are threats to win anywhere. I’ll never undersell their abilities. However, they are players that like to grind out long rallies, which is something that is much tougher to do on grass. There’s a reason Gauff has only been to the fourth round at the All England Club, and Swiatek’s best result was a quarter-final appearance in 2023.
Wimbledon Players To Watch – Women
Karoilna Muchova (35-1)
Muchova lost in the opening round at Roland Garros, and the 28-year-old has been going through it with injuries for years. In fact, due to a left wrist issue, Muchova is currently hitting a one-handed backhand. That’s something she’s hoping to do away with eventually, but it’s the only way she can get comfortable playing right now. Well, it’s hard to know exactly how this whole thing will play out, and Muchova did lose to Tatjana Maria in the Round of 16 at the HSBC Championships. But you know what? It isn’t crazy to think that Muchova can make a run with a one-hander at Wimbledon. Muchova is just going to slice the hell out of everything that comes to her backhand side, and that’s something that can be very successful on this surface. Honestly, it’s not all that different from what Grigor Dimitrov has done on grass, though he does have the ability to flatten the backhand out and crunch it when he needs to. But perhaps Muchova can get by without it, as she does have a good serve, a strong net game and an awesome forehand.
I don’t quite see Muchova winning the event given what she’s dealing with, but she’s a two-time Wimbledon quarterfinalist and the top players in the world aren’t as comfortable on this surface as they are others. That said, i can see a deep run if she finds some confidence with that one-hander in the coming weeks.
Amanda Anisimova (50-1)
With players like Gauff and Swiatek not being as good on grass, there’s some real opportunity for players lower on the board. We saw that last year with Krejcikova winning it all. Well, Anisimova is a player to keep an eye on in SW19. Anisimova romped Emma Navarro 6-3, 6-3 in Queens early in the grass-court season. Navarro wasn’t exactly in form, but that result should give you a good idea of where Anisimova is. The American is now 16-9 on grass in her WTA career, and she did make the quarterfinals at Wimbledon in 2022. It’s just hard not to like the 23-year-old’s big power game on this surface. Obviously her movement is a weakness anywhere she plays, but being able to serve big and cleanly rip the ball from both wings gives you a shot in London. If Anisimova gets a decent draw, watch out.
