Who is in form going into Wimbledon?

If you're planning to bet on Wimbledon it pays to know which players have been in form going into the tournament.

The Australian Open was the first Grand Slam event of the year and took place in January. Jannick Sinner won in the final of the men's singles event, beating Daniil Medvedev, while Aryna Sabalenka won the women's singles, defeating Zheng Qinwen.

At the French Open finals in June, Carlos Alcaraz won the men's singles against Alexander Zverez and Iga Swiatek defeated Jasmine Paolini in the women's singles.

Sinner has been the most successful player on the 2024 ATP Tour, with four tournament wins. Casper Ruud is the man who has reached the most ATP finals this year, with five.

On the 2024 WTA Tour it is Swiatek who has won the most titles this year with five. She has won all of the finals that she has reached, jointly holding the record this year for reaching the most tournament finals alongside Elena Rybakina.

When it comes to recent grass court tournaments in the men's game, Sinner was the most notable winner when he triumphed at the Halle Open against Hubert Hurkacz. Other grass court winners on the ATP Tour include Tommy Paul at Queen's, Britain's Jack Draper at the Stuttgart Open and Alex de Minaur at Rosmalen.

On the WTA Tour, Liudmila Samsonova won on grass at the Libema Open, as did Britain's Katie Boulter at Nottingham, Yulia Putintseva at Birmingham and Jessica Pegula at the Berlin Open.

Will Djokovic play at Wimbledon 2024?

Novak Djokovic withdrew from the French Open after the fourth round, when he tore the medial meniscus in his right knee. Surgery followed, creating a race against time for Djokovic to be fit for Wimbledon.

The Serb is due to travel to Wimbledon in the hope that he will be able to play, but at the time of writing, no official decision has been made. Despite his fitness worries, Djokovic is the third favourite to win Wimbledon at 7/24.50, as he looks for his eighth title.

Brits to watch at Wimbledon 2024

Jack Draper is the shortest priced British player to win the men's singles title at 18/119.00. The 22-year-old won his first ATP title in June and noticeably it was in a grass court tournament, beating the former Wimbledon finalist Matteo Berrettini at the Stuttgart Open.

The world number 39 Cameron Norrie reached the semi-finals in 2022, but with his form not what it was, he is priced at 150/1151.00. Daniel Evans is a 500/1501.00 outsider, while two-time winner Andy Murray seems unlikely to feature in the WImbledon betting, as he has just had back surgery.

In the women's singles event, Emma Radacanu is the leading Brit contender, according to the Betfair Wimbledon betting odds of 25/126.00. On one hand she has won a Grand Slam before, but that US Open triumph came back in 2021 and she has not come close to winning another tournament since then.

Katie Boulter at 80/181.00 could represent better value. The 27-year-old has won two WTA titles this year, including the Nottingham Open on grass back in June.

Wimbledon betting strategies

By now you may be itching to place your Wimbledon bets for 2024. Before you do, here's some tennis betting strategies

Look for grass specialists

There are few relatively few tennis tournaments that are played on grass. With players used to playing on hard courts for most of the year, the adjustment to a grass court can be tough. Some of the greatest players in the history of the sport failed to win Wimbledon, such as Ivan Lendl and Justine Henin. Make sure that you check the grass court records of a player, when betting on Wimbledon. If a player doesn't have much of a track record at either Wimbledon or other grass court tournaments, then it may pay to be cautious. The weather is also something to watch out for. If it's hot and dry, then the court becomes more suited to baseline players and big servers.

Watch out for patriotic punting

British tennis fans love to have a home player to cheer on at Wimbledon. Placing a Wimbledon bet on a Brit can add to the excitement, but the volume of money going in the direction of UK players can make prices slimmer than they really should be. Take Emma Raducanu for instance. She is ranked 165 in the world, but is the seventh favourite to win the Wimbledon women's title at 25/126.00. Raducanu has failed to win a title since lifting the US Open in 2021 and has not even made it past the second round of any Grand Slam event, since then. Her odds simply don't make sense, with her price only being so short because patriotic punters enjoy backing the British.

Be quick on the draw

Before placing any Wimbledon outright bet, it pays to study the draw. You might have a hunch on an outsider doing well at Wimbledon, but if they're on a collision course with the world number one in the fourth round, then it makes little sense to bet on them. Yet on the positive side, sometimes you can study the Wimbledon draw and foresee a kind run of games for a player. Keep your eye on the draw throughout Wimbledon, as if there are surprise results, the draw can open up in a way that couldn't have been predicted.

Mine's a double

It's natural the attention at Wimbledon is drawn to the men's and women's singles contests. Yet the various Wimbledon doubles tournaments can also provide some fine betting opportunities. The best singles players aren't necessarily good doubles players. You will find there are specialist doubles players, but even those that are well-known for their success in this area of tennis, can be hard to rate if they're playing as part of a new duo. There is consequently a greater chance of a relative outsider winning one of the Wimbledon doubles events, than is the case with the singles. The matches can also be very competitive and swing back and forth. This creates the opportunity for tennis trading on the Betfair exchange.

Wimbledon betting predictions

Jannik Sinner looks a worthy favourite in the Wimbledon betting odds at 13/82.63. Since reaching the semi-finals last year he has won the Australian Open and excelled on the ATP Tour, winning on grass at the Halle Open in the build up to these championships.

Last year's winner Carlos Alcaraz won the most recent Grand Slam at the French Open. Alcaraz is priced at 9/52.80, but he was knocked out of Queen's in the second round by Jack Draper, which is a concern for anyone backing him at those odds.

Novak Djokovic at 7/24.50 is the third favourite, but may not even be fit enough to compete. If he does, you would be wise to watch him in action before committing to backing the legend, as his recent knee surgery could well have an impact on his performance.

The women's singles betting looks far more open. Iga Swiatek is the favourite at 16/54.20. Though she has been in great form this year and was the winner of the French Open, Swiatek has never gone further than the quarter-finals at Wimbledon.

Aryna Sabalenka is the second favourite at 7/24.50 and looks a more likely winner. She has won the Australian Open this year and is a two-time semi-finalist at Wimbledon.
