Wimbledon women's singles predictions
Winner
We're tipping Elena Rybakina to win Wimbledon for a second time.
The 2022 champion ended a 13-month title drought at May's Internationaux de Strasbourg, which will take some pressure off her shoulders.
Grass is undeniably the 26-year-old's favourite surface, where she can use her powerful serve and punchy forehand to great effect.
Entering as the 11th seed, the Kazakhstan star will need to topple some big names, but a recent narrow defeat to Aryna Sabalenka in Berlin proves she is not far off the pace.
If things click, Rybakina is a big chance at $6.00.

Surprise package
Belinda Bencic finds herself in a relatively open quarter of the draw.
The former world No. 4 returned to the WTA Tour late last year after giving birth to her daughter, and won a title in Abu Dhabi just a few months later.
She has made the fourth round at Wimbledon on three occasions and looms as a quiet contender to make a deep run.
Jessica Pegula, Mirra Andreeva and Emma Navarro all share the same quadrant of the draw, but despite their talent, none are major winners.
Bencic is currently listed as a $15.00 chance to reach the semi-finals.
Early exit
There's little doubt that Mirra Andreeva will win a maiden grand slam tournament sooner rather than later, but she faces an uphill challenge at the All-England Club.
The teenage star began her grass season in Berlin with a loss to veteran Magdalena Fręch.
Then, in her second match in Bad Homburg, she fell to the unseeded Linda Noskova in straight sets.
With just one win on grass under her belt for 2025, the $18.00 championship chance may come into Wimbledon somewhat low on confidence.
At the same time, Andreeva could easily catch fire and win it all – she's that talented.
Wimbledon men's singles predictions
Winner
According to the bookmakers, it is essentially a coin flip between Carlos Alcaraz ($2.10) and Jannik Sinner ($3.00) for the men's title.
Novak Djokovic ($6.00) is also a challenger, but outside of those three, it's hard to make a solid case for anyone else.
Alcaraz's form is too hard to ignore, so we're backing the Spaniard.
He completed a staggering comeback against Sinner to win Roland-Garros in May before marching to victory on grass at the Queen's Club Championships in June.
The No. 2 seed will have pressure on him as the reigning Wimbledon champion, but that's often how he thrives.
Surprise package
Fans should keep an eye on Karen Khachanov this year.
A solid performer at grand slams, he reached the quarter-finals at Wimbledon in 2021 and has two semi-final berths under his belt at the Australian and US Opens, respectively.
He enters the season's third major in nice form, too, making the semis at Halle before falling to eventual champion Alexander Bublik in a close affair.
Daniil Medvedev, Alexander Zverev, Taylor Fritz and Matteo Berrettini are the biggest contenders in his quarter of the draw, but are all beatable with the right approach.
Khachanov is worth consideration as a $15.00 shot to reach the last four.
Early exit
Great Britain has another star in Jack Draper.
He has surged up the rankings in 2025, making finals in Madrid, Indian Wells and Qatar.
As the No. 4 seed at Wimbledon, he will have an awful lot of attention and pressure on him.
He is notably on the fourth line of championship betting at $14.00.
The 23-year-old has never made it past the second round at the All-England Club, but is still predicted to go relatively deep in his home grand slam.
Could expectations be too high?
