The most famous grass-court tournament, which also has the reputation of being the oldest, is the main tennis event of the summer, and the fans look forward to it every time. All the best tennis players in the world are trying to get to the courts of Great Britain, but only one of them will become the champion. Who exactly is always an intrigue, given that the competition here is at the highest level.
Fans of long-term bets will be interested in predicting the final winner of the tournament – this can be done at Mostbet.com sharni, where quotes for the winner are already available. But to begin with, it is worth considering who they generally see among the main contenders.
Carlos Alcaraz – 2.62
The 21-year-old Spaniard is already considered by many to be potentially the strongest for many years to come. At his young age, he has two Grand Slam trophies, won at a time when Djokovic was still the number one racket in the world, and Nadal’s star had not yet set. He is the main contender for victory at Wimbledon for the reason that he has already won here – and the previous time. Now Rafa is only a pale shadow of his former self, and Novak does not look extremely confident – the higher the chances of Alcaraz.
Carlos’ main problem that can hinder him is instability. Observers unanimously claim that it is age-old, and the Spaniard simply has not yet reached the design capacity. However, in the ATP rankings, he is often third in recent times, and closer to fourth place than to second. This is another reason for sky-high motivation: having received so many advances, it is time to justify them little by little.
Novak Djokovic – 2.75
The 37-year-old Serb will be the last representative of the famous three in men’s tennis, which for a decade and a half practically did not allow other players to distribute important trophies. Federer finished earlier, and Nadal is still formally on the tour, although seeing him healthy is a great happiness for a fan. Jock himself also does not always show a confident game (for what the lost final of the Australian Open against the young Sinner was worth), but let’s not forget that he won about a quarter of a hundred Grand Slam titles, in particular, seven tournaments at Wimbledon.
Against Novak is the fact that he is already losing his grip somewhere. Undoubtedly, he remains a nightmare for 99% of possible opponents, but as we can see, young blood is gradually starting to squeeze him from the pedestal. Fans are actively discussing the Serbian’s potential loss of the top spot in the ATP rankings, and he may never regain his leadership after this. If Djokovic wants to rest on his laurels for a while longer, he needs to be actively involved in the game, because he will have to defend the points from last year’s loss to Alcaraz in the final.
Yannick Sinner – 4.0
The attitude towards the 22-year-old Italian in tennis circles is ambiguous: on the one hand, he is the second racket in the world, following Djokovic himself, and is about to become the leader of the ranking, on the other hand, most fans consider him less worthy of high honors than the same Alcaraz. The reason, probably, is that Yannick joined quite late: he won his first Grand Slam trophy already in 2024, on the hard courts of Australia.
Sinner, against the background of Djokovic and Alcaraz, has modest success at Wimbledon – he only reached the semifinals here, and even then only once. But it happened last year, and since then the Italian tennis player has definitely added, and now he feels very confident. On the courts of Great Britain, he can take a step forward, as he already did in Australia, and Yannick surely wants another trophy.
Daniil Medvedev, Rafael Nadal, Alexander Zverev – 17 each
There is almost no one behind the fairly clear top three contenders – the next three most likely winners are quite far behind, and at the same time have approximately equal (rather dubious) chances of success. However, obvious favorites do not always win in tennis, so it is worth considering those who are “in the second echelon”.
The “neutral” Russian in the rating is fighting desperately for the 4th place with variable success. At 28 years old, he has won only one Grand Slam in his career – the 2021 US Open. More than likely, that trophy will remain the only one in his piggy bank. The chances of this will only increase if Medvedev does not surpass his record at Wimbledon – where he played in the semifinals last year. Even though this achievement is fresh, it is a one-off for Daniil – that is, it can be attributed to chance.
The 38-year-old Nadal in his prime was part of the big three of tennis players mentioned above, but on grass, he looked relatively modest – he has only two Wimbledon trophies with twenty-two Grand Slam titles in total. The Spaniard last triumphed at the British major in 2010, and after Roland Garros in 2022, he has no new high-profile achievements at all. A huge army of Rafa’s supporters sincerely wishes for the triumphant return of their favorite, but age is making itself felt – recently the Spanish tennis player hardly plays, so the relatively high coefficient is, rather, an element of respect from the bookmakers.
The 27-year-old German of Russian origin is exactly the competitor with whom Medvedev is desperately fighting for fourth place in the ATP ranking. Zverev is the most likely winner of Wimbledon 2024 among those who have never won a Grand Slam. Currently, the peak of his career is the final of the US Open 2020, and on the courts of Great Britain, the achievements are even more modest – here Alexander has never gone beyond the fourth round, although he has reached this stage twice. His presence in the list of main contenders is due, rather, to a high-ranking position than to real chances of success.
Conclusion
Rafa’s return, unfortunately, will not happen, but Djokovic should not relax – young competitors are ready to retire him as well. If Alcaraz pulls himself together and approaches the tournament in his best form, he will be lucky in this draw. However, Sinner should not be overlooked, because he has been showing a phenomenal game lately. Other winners are extremely unlikely.
