Wimbledon is one of the highlights of the summer, the biggest tournament in tennis. Tracking Wimbledon odds can feel a bit daunting, especially if you aren’t an avid tennis fan. Below, we will look at the odds on Wimbledon, who are the favorites to win, what has happened in the tournament so far, and more.
Wimbledon results so far
The tournament has gone mostly as expected so far, leaving us with few surprises in terms of Wimbledon odds moving forward on the men’s side. There were no real upsets in the first round on the men’s side, though some high seeds in No. 18 Francisco Cerundolo and No. 9 Taylor Fritz lost in the second round.
Most of the eyes on the men’s brack, as well as Wimbledon odds, were on reigning champion Novak Djokovic. The seven-time Wimbledon champion had little problem in the opening round. He is on his quest for his eighth Wimbledon title and is the odds-on Wimbledon favorite.
On the women’s side of things, it has been a challenge for all of the favorites making odds on Wimbledon a bit tougher to read going forward. No. 16 Karolina Muchova went down in the first round. It was no better for the favorites in round two with three notable names – No. 10 Barbora Krejcikova, No. 12 Veronika Kudermetova, and No. 17 Jelena Ostepenko – all going down in the second round.
Even Iga Swiatek, the consensus odds on Wimbledon favorite from the women’s side had to battle back from down a set in order to get into her first quarterfinal. Coco Gauff, who came into the tournament No. 7, also lost early, causing a bit of chaos on the women’s side of things.
Wimbledon odds the rest of the way
Odds on Wimbledon have changed as the action has unfolded. Let’s take a closer look at the odds on Wimbledon favorites for both brackets and how things have changed.
Wimbledon Odds Men’s Bracket
On the men’s side, the Wimbledon odds have shifted pretty much how the experts thought. Djokovic opened as a -125 (in American odds format) favorite prior to the tournament and has now moved to -190 according to DraftKings Sportsbook.
The rest of the field, meanwhile, has taken a slide in terms of their odds on Wimbledon. Carlos Alcatraz, maybe the only name expected to challenge Djokovic, has gone from +330 to +425 to win. Daniil Medvedev, another dark horse name to watch, went from +650 prior to the tournament to +1800 as of now. Holger Rune may have the most precipitous drop in terms of Wimbledon odds, going from +2000 to +5000.
It isn’t all bad, however. Jannik Skinner (+1400 to +1200) has seen his odds on Wimbledon improve slightly during the early parts of the tournament. It is probably still Djokovic’s tournament to win but there are a few names that are starting to make noise. Many of our pre-tournament picks are still in contention at this point in time.
Wimbledon Odds Women’s Bracket
Despite struggling early, Swiatek has improved her odds, going from +350 (the best ladies’ Wimbledon odds) to +150 to win the tournament. Elena Ryabkina (+450 to +300) and Petra Kvitova (+2000 to +1400) have also seen a nice bump in Wimbledon odds.
With top names like Gauff, Krejcikova, and Kudermetova all gone, the field has opened up in the latter half of the top 10 for a few unexpected names to rise. According to DraftKings, this is still a three-woman race between Swiatek, Rybakina, and Aryna Sabalenka (+500). With Swiatek struggling early, it definitely seems like it could be anyone’s tournament to win moving forward.
Predictions for Wimbledon champion
With so much tennis left to be played, it is difficult to predict winners with any certainty. Djokovic has been the safest bet so far and there hasn’t been any indication that he won’t tie Roger Federer for the most wins in Wimbledon men’s history.
Swiatek advanced but hasn’t looked as dominant as she has throughout the season. The three primary favorites are still the ones to watch but the women’s field looks a bit more open than the men’s at this stage.
