Wimbledon Tennis 2015 Betting: Djokovic, Williams Favorites

Novak Djokovic is the bookmakers’ heavy favorite to repeat his 2014 success and claim a third Wimbledon Championship. Per OddsShark, Djoker is 5/4 to claim the ninth Grand Slam title of his career. Given the Serb has featured in both Grand Slam finals this year already, and has been handed a very favorable draw by the powers-that-be at Wimbledon, it’s hard to argue with those odds.

Andy Murray is second favorite to follow up on his Queen’s Club victory a fortnight ago and claim a second Wimbledon. He may well have to overcome both Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, however, if he wants to make it to the final. You can get odds of 5/2 on Murray, with Federer a 13/2 shot and French Open champion Stan Wawrinka fourth favorite at 14/1.

In the women’s draw, Serena Williams is a 7/4 favorite to follow up her success at Roland Garros with a sixth Wimbledon singles title. She’s been imperious in 2015 to-date, claiming both the Australian and French Opens to set up the opportunity to become the first woman to complete a calendar year Grand Slam since Steffi Graf in 1988 (though the German’s was also a “Golden Slam”). Nevertheless, Williams hasn’t made it past the 4th Round in her past two trips to SW19. Defending champion Petra Kvitova is a 7/2 shot and second favorite.
