Wimbledon Women’s Betting Odds: Crowded at The Top, Rybakina Goes After Second Straight Title

Sabalenka Is Back at Wimbledon for First Time Since Run to 2021 Semifinals

It isn’t often that a Grand Slam singles field doesn’t have one player standing above the rest of the challenges. However, the Wimbledon women’s betting odds have defending champion Elena Rybakina tied with the two players ranked ahead of her in the WTA rankings as the pre-tournament favorite.

When looking at Wimbledon betting news, Ons Jabeur, a 2022 finalist, is priced at +1000 in the championship odds. Two-time quarterfinalist Karolina Muchova and two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova have +1600 odds to win the upcoming Grand Slam title.

Wimbledon begins on July 3 with tennis tournaments currently underway at Eastbourne and Bad Homburg, Germany.

Here’s a look at the challengers.

Rybakina Looks to Go Back-To-Back

No player has won back-to-back Wimbledon women’s singles titles since Serena Williams in 2015 and 2016.

There will be much more attention on Rybakina this year than when she was the No. 17 seed going into the 2022 event.

She didn’t drop her first set until the quarterfinals against Ajla Tomljanovic. She rolled past former champion Simona Halep in the semifinals before rebounding from losing the opening set in the singles final against Ons Jabeur.

Rybakina owns wins over Swiatek on her way to capturing titles at Indian Wells and the Italian Open.

Since winning in Rome, she has won just three matches. Still, she is one of the favorites when it comes to the Wimbledon women’s betting odds.

Swiatek Looks for Wimbledon Glory

Iga Swiatek has done just about everything on the WTA tour with four Grand Slam singles titles. However, success has eluded her at Wimbledon. She lost in her first match in 2019, reached the fourth round in 2021, and fell in the Round of 32 last year.

Swiatek is coming off a run to her third French Open title. She is currently in Bad Homburg as she looks to transition from the clay to the grass.

According to the Wimbledon women’s betting odds, she is priced at +400 to win Wimbledon for the first time.

Sabalenka Goes After Another Grand Slam

Sabalenka, who is ranked second in the WTA rankings, won her first Grand Slam singles title at the Australian Open in January.

She has reached the semifinals in five of her last seven majors as one of the most consistent tennis players on tour.

She had a disappointing finish at Roland Garros, losing in three sets to No. 43 Karolina Muchova in the semifinals. In her next tournament, she was eliminated in her second match.

Still, she tends to raise her level of play at the biggest events.

Can Jabeur Make Another Run?

Jabeur only had to meet up with one ranked player before running into Rybakina in the 2022 Wimbledon final.

While so many contenders were faltering, she was taking care of business with three consecutive straight-set wins followed by three-set victories versus Marie Bouzkova and Tatjana Maria.

The sixth-ranked Jabeur won the title at Charleston. Other than that, she has struggled for results in 2023. Jabeur fell to qualifier Jule Niemeier in her first match at Berlin.

Keep an eye on Kvitova as she pulled out of her last tournament citing fatigue.

Barbora Krejcikova (+1800), Caroline Garcia (+2500), Mirra Andreeva (+2500), and Beatriz Haddad Maia (+2800) are others to keep an eye on.

Born in the USA

Serena Williams and her sister Venus combined to win 12 Wimbledon singles titles and reach the finals eight other times. With Serena now retired and Venus, not the title contender that she was earlier in her career, U.S. players are flying under the radar heading into Wimbledon in 2023.

Coco Gauff leads the U.S.-born challengers at +1800 odds, Jessica Pegula is priced at +2500 followed by Madison Keys (+4000), Danielle Collins (+6600), and Sloane Stephens (+6600).

The hope is for a better effort than in 2022. Amanda Anisimova had the best showing in last year’s Wimbledon event with a run to the quarterfinals.

Stephens, Collins, and Shelby Rogers all lost in the first round, and Pegula and Gauff both fell in the third round.

Pegula is currently ranked fourth, Gauff is seventh, Keys is ranked 25th with Bernarda Pena 27th and Stephens 38th.

Will UK Players Be OK?

There will be plenty of eyes on the players from the United Kingdom wild cards will be given to the homegrown talent.

Even after falling 11 spots to No. 88, Katie Boulter is the top-ranked player among players from the United Kingdom followed by No. 128 Jodie Burrage, No. 132 Emma Raducanu while Harriet Dart, Katie Swan, and Heather Watson are ranked 142nd, 146th, and 149th.

Watson, Boulter, and Burrage all have odds of +15000 to win at Wimbledon, something not done by a player representing Great Britain since Virginia Wade in 1977.

In the recent 250 events played in Nottingham, Boulter topped Burrage in the final. However, the degree of difficulty will be much more daunting at Wimbledon.

Watson did reach the Round of 16 in last year’s tournament and Boulter got to the third round thanks to an upset of No. 6 seed Karolina Pliskova.
