With the clay-court season now over, the tennis betting world is quickly pivoting to grass season, with the biggest tournament of the year — Wimbledon — less than a month away.

This year’s tournament will be different than previous ones, as the ATP and WTA will not be awarding points in this installment of the grass classic. This decision comes off the heels of the announcement that Russian and Belarusian players will be prohibited from participating in the event.
With all that said, there are still 2022 Wimbledon odds on the board — and we lay them all out for you here.

Favourites to win the Wimbledon 2022 men’s championship
Novak Djokovic (-110)
Well to hopefully no one’s surprise, the Djoker is slotted in at the top of the odds board for Wimbledon, and a fairly heavy one at that. Djokovic had a weird start to the Grand Slam season with all the drama surrounding him in Australia, but followed that up with a four-set quarterfinal defeat to the clay king himself Rafael Nadal. Although there are no points on the line, the No. 1 ATP ranked player will look to capture his seventh Grand Slam on grass, and will have a great chance to do so.
Carlos Alcaraz Garfia (+450)
The 19-year-old Spaniard slots into second place on the odds board in search of his first Grand Slam title. Garfia will look to carry his Roland Garros momentum into Wimbledon after making the quarterfinal round. Expect the No. 6 ranked player to make plenty of damage in this year’s tournament, besting his Round 2 finish here last year.

Rafael Nadal (+700)
Of course, Rafael Nadal is in the Top 5. For a ludicrous 14th time, Rafa walked out of Roland Garros with a victory, and will look to pick up his third Grand Slam victory of the season. Nadal has a great shot to capture his third Wimbledon title of his illustrious career — and his first since 2010.
Matteo Berrettini (+800)
Slotting in at four on the odds board is 2021 Wimbledon finalist, Matteo Berrettini. The Italian is yet to capture Grand Slam honours, but he has a great shot at making another run to the finals pending any bumps in the road.
Stefanos Tsitsipas (+900)
Rounding out the Top 5 is No. 5 ranked Tsitsipas, who is also in search of his first Grand Slam victory. Although he has never made it to the quarterfinals at Wimbledon, this year may be the one we see the 23-year-old finally break out.

Favorite to win the 2021 Wimbledon Women’s Championship
Iga Swiatek (+150)
Just like on the men’s side, the No. 1 ranked player in the world leads the way (by a considerable margin) as Iga Swiatek tops the odds board. At just 21 years of age, Swiatek is already a two-time Grand Slam winner, including capturing yet another French Open Championship over the weekend. Oddsmakers believe this is the year the Polish sensation captures her first tournament win on grass.
Simona Halep, Naomi Osaka (+1,100)
Coming in all the way down at +1,100 are a pair of women who have both been ranked No. 1 at some points in their careers.
Halep will be looking for her first Grand Slam victory since 2019, which was her first and only Wimbledon victory. The 30-year-old opened her 2022 campaign with the 23rd title victory of her career, but will look to find better success on the Grand Slam level after falling in the second round at the French Open.

Osaka will look to win a Grand Slam title for the fifth year in a row, and she’ll have a chance to do so at a tournament she is yet to win. Osaka’s best results on grass have come in Round 3, which she made it to in both 2017 and 2018.
Karolina Pliskova, Emma Raducanu (+1,200)
Opening at 1,200 is last year’s Wimbledon finalist, Karolina Pliskova. Although she has won 16 singles titles on the WTA Tour, none of them have come at the Grand Slam level. Pliskova will look to capture the magic she found on grass last year and make another run at the finals.
Joining her at +1,200 is Emma Raducanu, the 19-year-old who will have the fans fully behind her. Already a Grand Slam champion at such a young age (U.S. Open 2021), Raducanu can build upon her resume and bring home Wimbledon champion honours.
