Wimbledon 2026 is approaching and tennis fans and bettors are looking for an answer to the question ahead of the third slam of the year — who will win the most important grass tournament of the year? Below we take a look at the men’s and women’s favorites, dark horses and the best Wimbledon odds.
Men’s Singles: Wimbledon 2026 Favorites and Their Odds
Jannik Sinner
Although Jannik Sinner surprisingly was limited to the second round at the French Open, the Italian still heads into Wimbledon as the world’s number one and defending champion.
With Sinner having lost just two matches on grass in the last two years, it’s no wonder he’s considered the big favorite for this year’s tournament. At OlyBet, Sinner’s odds of winning are 1.44.
Novak Djokovic
Although Novak Djokovic has to fight not only his opponents but also his age on the tennis court, the 24-time Grand Slam champion should never be written off.
The 39-year-old Serb proved this vividly at the beginning of the year in Australia, where he defeated Sinner in the semi-finals and reached the final, where Carlos Alcaraz had to admit his superiority. So the odds of 4.50 for Wimbledon 2026 seem fully justified.
Alexander Zverev
Alexander Zverev, who played in a Slam final for the first time in 2020, finally got his chance when he was crowned French Open champion a month ago. He is also considered a Wimbledon favorite. True, with odds of 8.00, he will need a bit of luck to win, as grass has generally not been the German’s best surface.
Wimbledon Men’s Singles Finals
- 2025: Jannik Sinner – Carlos Alcaraz 4:6, 6:4, 6:4, 6:4
- 2024: Carlos Alcaraz – Novak Djokovic 6:2, 6:2, 7:6(4)
- 2023: Carlos Alcaraz – Novak Djokovic 1:6, 7:6(6), 6:1, 3:6, 6:4
- 2022: Novak Djokovic – Nick Kyrgios 4:6, 6:3, 6:4, 7:6(3)
Women’s Singles: Wimbledon 2026 Favorites and Their Odds
Aryna Sabalenka
Although Aryna Sabalenka had to limit herself to the quarterfinals at the French Open, she remains the world’s number one, with two WTA1000 tournament wins (Miami and Indian Wells) and a place in the Australian Open final to show for it this year.
Consequently, OlyBet sees the Belarusian as the biggest favorite for Wimbledon 2026, whose odds are 3.75.
Elena Rybakina
For Elena Rybakina the French Open was also no success — she lost in the second round — but overall the representative from Kazakhstan remains dangerous. She has proven this this year in Stuttgart (WTA 500) and the Australian Open, where she lifted the trophy on both occasions. Thus, Rybakina’s odds are appropriate for a favorite — 4.33.
Iga Świątek
Although Iga Świątek has not been as dominant this year as in the last two years, she can never be written off. Yes, she has not yet reached a single final — let alone won a tournament — this year, but she is still the defending champion at Wimbledon, and she also has the corresponding odds (7.00).
Wimbledon Women’s Singles Finals
- 2025: Iga Świątek – Amanda Anisimova 6:0, 6:0
- 2024: Barbora Krejčíková – Jasmine Paolini 6:2, 2:6, 6:4
- 2023: Markéta Vondroušová – Ons Jabeur 6:4, 6:4
- 2022: Elena Rõbakina – Ons Jabeur 3:6, 6:2, 6:2
Men’s Singles: Wimbledon 2026 Dark Horses
Ben Shelton
Ben Shelton raised his stock significantly with his recent victory at the Stuttgart grass court tournament. Considering that the grass court only enhances the 23-year-old American’s greatest weapon — his explosive left-handed serve — his odds (21.00) are extremely tempting.
Kamil Majchrzak
The biggest surprise of this grass court season so far is undoubtedly Kamil Majchrzak. The Pole, who was ranked only 76th in the world at the beginning of June, closed the way for three top-ten players in ‘s-Hertogenbosch and thus lifted the first major grass court trophy of his career (ATP 250). His odds for Wimbledon are as high as 151.00.
Jack Draper
Although a knee injury has kept Jack Draper out of action since April, the Brits are still hopeful about him. Considering that the 24-year-old tennis player recently strengthened his team with the legendary Andy Murray, it is safe to say that know-how will not be a limiting factor. This is also known at OlyBet, where Draper is priced at 26.00.
Women’s Singles: Wimbledon 2026 Dark Horses
Katie Boulter
Over the years, Katie Boulter has earned a reputation for playing her best tennis on grass courts. She proved this at the recently concluded Queen’s tournament, where she reached the semi-finals. The 29-year-old Briton is priced at 126.00 at OlyBet.
Donna Vekic
Who was better than Boulter at Queen’s? Donna Vekic, who thus lifted the first major grass trophy of her career (WTA 500). The 29-year-old Croatian has proven that she is a force to be reckoned with at Wimbledon, as is vividly illustrated by the odds (41.00).
Mirra Andreeva
It is a bit funny to classify the recent French Open champion as a dark horse, but the 19-year-old Russian has not yet firmly established herself at the top of the world. She is also considered the fourth strongest favorite in the odds table (8.00).
