The coronavirus may not dress in all white, but it’s already forced a few Wimbledon 2022 participants to withdraw from the most prestigious tennis tournament. The good news is Novak Djokovic, Rafa Nadal and Serena Williams have all returned to the All England Club, while Naomi Osaka will miss this year’s major due to an Achilles injury. 2024 Wimbledon tennis betting odds are on the board and this grand slam guide’s purpose is to teach you how to bet on Wimbledon.
As you may have guessed, Novak Djokovic is the heavy odds favorite – and only player at minus money -175 – to win Wimbledon again. The Serbian tennis guru has won the tournament three consecutive times and six times overall. Rafa Nadal is the only other player with better than 12-to-1 odds. Up and coming Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz enjoys the third-best odds at 12-to-1 along with Felix Auger-Aliassime. We’ll need to keep an eye on Nadal’s health as it took a miracle for him to get ready in time for the French Open.
| Player | Odds to Win Wimbledon |
| Novak Djokovic | -175 |
| Rafael Nadal | +450 |
| Carlos Alcaraz | +1200 |
| Felix Auger-Aliassime | +1200 |

Here’s a quick tutorial on how to read the most popular Wimbledon tennis betting odds.
| Player | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
| Rafael Nadal | +2.5 | +115 | 45O |
| Novak Djokovic | -2.5 | -185 | 45U |
When betting the SPREAD, you’re wagering on how many games the tennis player will win by. So, in the example above, Djokovic needs to win by 3-or-more games to cover the spread or Nadal needs to lose by 2-or-fewer games OR win the match outright.
When betting the MONEYLINE, you’re simply betting on which player you think will win the match outright. If you like the favorite Djokovic, you’ll need to wager $185 for every $100 you’d like to win. If you like Nadal to pull off the upset, wager $100 to win $115.
The match total is Over/Under how many games will be played. In this example the total line is Over/Under 45 games. Should Sinner-Rinderknech play exactly 20 games, the bet is a PUSH, and you’re original wager is returned to you.
Iga Swiatek has only played five Wimbledon matches in her career and yet is the heavy favorite over Ons Jabeur to win. At +125, Swiatek – who is the No. 1 tennis player in the world – would continue her meteoric rise up through the WTA after ranking 17th on the tour at the end of 2020.
Osaka pulled out of Wimbledon 2022 after getting knocked out of the French Open in the first round. Her Achilles injury is wreaking havoc on her on-court prowess, but she just signed a deal with LeBron James’ production company.
Ons Jabeur possesses the second-best odds at 5-to-1, while Jelana Ostapenko and Petra Kvitova boast 12-to-1 odds. Coco Gauff, who performed quite well at Roland-Garros – owns 14-to-1 odds to win Wimbledon and Serena Williams checks in at 20-to-1.
| Player | Odds to Win Wimbledon |
| Iga Swiatek | +125 |
| Ons Jabeur | +500 |
| Jelena Ostapenko | +1200 |
| Petra Kvitova | +1200 |
| Cori Gauff | +1400 |
| Simona Halep | +1600 |
| Angelique Kerber | +2000 |
| Emma Raducanu | +2000 |
| Serena Williams | +2000 |
| Maria Sakkari | +2500 |
| Anett Kontaveit | +3300 |
| Bianca Andreescu | +3300 |
| Amanda Anisimova | +4000 |
| Karolina Pliskova | +4000 |
| Garbine Muguruza | +5000 |
| Barbora Krejcikova | +6600 |
| Camila Giorgi | +6600 |
| Alison Riske | +8000 |
The Joker is two Wimbledon titles shy of tying Roger Federer’s record eight. He’s won the prestigious tournament three straight times and six times dating back to 2011.
He’s won more than 88% of his Wimbledon matches throughout his career.
Heading into the 2022 French Open, Swiatek boasted a 37-3 record this season.
She reached the Round of 16 in last year’s Wimbledon tournament, before falling to 21st-ranked Ons Jabeur.
Fresh off his record 14th French Open title, Rafa Nadal returns to the All-England Club in search of his first Wimbledon title since 2010. He’s 53-12 all-time.
While she’s won nearly 66% of her matches on grass, Jabeur is a pedestrian 8-6 at Wimbledon. She did win the Berlin tune-up tournament in early-June, beating Coco Gauff en route to the title.
Some say Carlos will pick up the torch when Rafa Nadal retires. Still only 19 years old, he’s the 6th ranked player in the world and a 5-to-1 favorite to win Wimbledon.
He lost to Daniil Medvedev in straight sets last year.
She’s 34-17 on grass all-time, but a respectable 12-6 at Wimbledon if you’re looking for a player with some odds value on the board and if you’re interested in fading Swiatek.
The Championships, Wimbledon will begin on June 27 and run through July 10, 2022.
In the United States, Wimbledon 2022 will air on ESPN and ESPN2. Additional coverage can be found on the Tennis Channel.
Novak Djokovic is your defending men’s champion after defeating Matteo Berrettini in four sets, while Ashleigh Barty went out on top as the women’s champ defeating Karolína Plíšková, 6–3, 6–7, 6–3.
Serena Williams’ last match came exactly one year ago at Wimbledon 2021 when she was forced to retire due to an ankle injury. Various ailments have kept her off the court ever since, but she’s worked hard to make one last comeback, shaking off retirement rumors. Odds at Bovada have Williams 20-to-1 to win Wimbledon 2022, an achievement last enjoyed in 2016 when she earned her 7th grass court grand slam title.

Founded in 1877, the inaugural Wimbledon tournament featured only men’s singles events. The ladies singles draw was added at the All England Croquet and Lawn Tennis Club in 1884. The amateur era lasted until 1967 when the open era welcomed professionals to the prestigious tournament.
In 1927, the first players ever seeded were Rene Lacoste (pic, and yes, the alligator apparel guy) and Helen Wills.
As previously mentioned, prior to the global pandemic of 2020, Wimbledon was only cancelled due to World War I and World War II. The Nazi bombing campaign of London in 1940 was so intense, one bomb actually hit the Centre Court and damaged 1,200 seats that weren’t repaired until 1947.
The first rule of Fight Club is we don’t talk about Fight Club. The most important rule of Wimbledon is: wear white. Tournament organizers allow for a touch of color accents on a player’s tennis apparel, but it can only be one centimeter wide and only in certain locations of the garment. Oh, and no logos of any kind are permitted.
While most betting odds will refer to Wimbledon’s men’s and women’s draws, they’re actually deemed the Gentlemen’s and Ladies inside the comfy confines of the All England club.
Through the 2008 tournament, female players were referred to by Miss or Mrs. and, if married, their husband’s last name featured on the scoreboard. Since 2009, female tennis players’ full names have donned the scoreboard.
Hungry at Wimbledon? The primary snack du jour is strawberries and cream. According to the tournament’s official site, 10,000 litres of cream and 28,000 kg of strawberries are served every year.
The winner of the Gentlemen’s single draw earns a silver gilt cup. It’s been awarded to the winner since 1887. The real trophy remains at the All-England Club, while the winner receives a replica with all the past champions names inscribed on it.
In a bit of a different trophy twist, the ladies singles champ gets a sterling silver plate known as the Venus Rosewater Dish. They, too, receive a replica to display on their mantle while the original remains in London.
According to bookmakers at Bovada, the odds favorites to win Wimbledon 2022 are Iga Swiatek (+125) on the women’s draw and Novak Djokovic (-175) on the men’s side of the bracket.

The 23-time grand slam champion last appeared in a major tennis tournament last summer, but Serena Williams is back and will play in Wimbledon 2022 with Bovada bookmakers pegging her as the 20-to-1 favorite to win the women’s draw.
