Wimbledon gets underway on Monday with Carlos Alcaraz looking to make it three titles at SW19 in a row, but there will be plenty of opponents looking to win their first title.
Including a certain Jack Draper, who will carry the weight of the British expectations after a fine season in which he has climbed to number four in the world. He was most recently spotted making the semi-finals at Queens and is priced at 20/1 by betting sites to capture his first grand slam title.
In the women’s draw, the favourite in the Wimbledon odds is world number one Aryna Sabalenka, who reached the finals in both Melbourne and Paris but is yet to win a Grand Slam this year.
The 2022 champion Elena Rybakina and French Open winner Coco Gauff are also leading contenders, but as we know from last year, when the 31st seed Barbora Krejcikova lifted the trophy, that doesn't count for much.
Wimbledon men’s tips: Alcaraz to make it three in a row
There is only one man, other than Alcaraz, in the draw who knows what it takes to win at Wimbledon, and that is Novak Djokovic who has won the title seven times, the last of which came in 2022 but he would love the chance to equal the record number of wins currently held by Roger Federer, who won his eighth and final title in 2017.
He has been beaten in the last two finals by Alcaraz, winning just 10 games last year when he was beaten in three sets, and it’s hard to see him getting any closer to the Spaniard this time around.
The 38-year-old has reached the last four in both of this year’s Grand Slams, retiring injured against Alexander Zverev in Melbourne and being beaten in three sets by the world number one Jannik Sinner in Paris.
If he is to achieve his record-breaking 25th Grand Slam, this could be Djokovic’s best and potentially last chance, but whether he has enough to beat the next generation remains to be seen.
Djokovic’s job has been made all the harder by a draw that could see him face Draper in the quarter-finals before a semi-final encounter with Sinner.
Sinner always seems to be there and thereabouts in the latter stages and lost in the recent French Open final despite having three championship points.
That was his first final in Paris. He has won both the Australian and US Open, but he has yet to really perform in London.
His best performance saw him reach the semi-finals in 2023, before losing to Djokovic, while he made the quarter-finals last time here before he was beaten in five sets by Daniil Medvedev.
Tennis betting sites are offering 9/4 on Sinner to win, just behind the favourite Alcaraz, who has landed on the right side of the draw, away from Sinner, Djokovic and Draper.
The Spaniard looks to have a straightforward run through to the quarter-finals and should be able to save his best for the latter stages. And as we saw at Queen’s Club, the 22-year-old’s best on grass may be too much for anyone to handle.

Bublik worth considering for deep run
Alexander Bublik’s quality has never been in question, but he has struggled to consistently demonstrate it enough to really catch the eye.
After admitting he recently came close to quitting and taking time out to enjoy a trip to Las Vegas, he surprised many at the French Open, beating Alex de Minaur and Draper before losing to Sinner at the quarter-final stage.
He got revenge on Sinner last week though when he he beat him in three sets, as well as Tomas Machac, Karen Khachanov and Daniil Medvedev to win his second Halle title, on grass, and return to the top 30.
Bublik could meet Draper again in the third round at Wimbledon and while he finds himself on the wrong side of the draw, his recent return to form makes him a dangerous opponent and a lively each-way contender.
An each-way bet on Bublik would pay out at half the odds should he reach the final and lose.

Wimbledon women’s tips: Sabalenka to win maiden Wimbledon crown
Aryna Sabalenka has come within touching distance of slam glory this year and may get across the line at the All England Club.
She has reached the semi-finals in her last two visits in 2021 and 2023 but missed out in 2022 and 2024 through injury.
She has reached the finals in both Grand Slams so far this year, losing to Madison Keys in Melbourne and more recently, Gauff in Paris, but she would love to add the Wimbledon title to her record after previously winning both the US and Australian Open titles.
Her last visit to SW19 saw her beaten in the last four by Ons Jabeur, who went on to be beaten in the final by Marketa Vondrousova.
The 27-year-old has won three titles so far this season and lost out in four finals, so she is certainly the most in-form player.
Elena Rybakina is second favourite at on most betting apps and we know she has previous after winning the title in 2022. Since then, she’s reached the last eight in 2023 and the semi-finals last year.
She lost out to the eventual winner Krejcikova in the last four, despite taking the first set so she has history on grass but she is currently only ranked 11th in the world and failed to get past the fourth round in the previous two Grand Slams.

As the third favourite it might not seem like Gauff is an outside bet, but at 8/1, she’s a decent price for a player who has won two Grand Slams and is ranked second in the world.
She doesn’t have the best of records at Wimbledon, despite bursting on to the scene aged just 15 and reaching the fourth round on her main draw debut. She beat Venus Williams to earn all the headlines back then but has not got any further since.
She reached the same round in both 2021 and 2024 before being beaten by Angelique Kerber and Emma Navarro.
Her recent French Open win will give her confidence, and we all know how physically and mentally strong she is. The draw has been kind to the American, despite a potential second round meeting with former world number one Victoria Azarenka and there’s potential she produces her best-ever showing at SW19.
If you want to go for a real outside option, then what about world number four, Jasmine Paolini.
Last year’s beaten finalist has shorten in the betting from 40/1 before the draw to a best price of 33s after a fairly kind draw, although she does have Queen’s Club semi-finalist Qinwen Zheng in her quarter.
The Italian defeated Bianca Andreescu, Keys, Emma Navarro and Donna Vekic on her way to the final last year and her path looks far clearer this time around so may be an option for some punters.
