Milos Raonic is the No. 7 seed and seventh on the betting lines at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com for this year’s Wimbledon Championships, which get underway early next week. Eugenie Bouchard, meanwhile, has been sliding down the odds to win the women’s draw at the tournament and enters the event as the No. 12 seed.
Raonic, who made the semifinals at Wimbledon last year after bowing out in the second round of the event in each of 2011, 2012, and 2013, is set at 25/1 odds to win the tournament at the sportsbooks. The Canadian advanced to the quarterfinals of the Australian Open earlier this season before missing the French Open with a foot injury.
Bouchard, meanwhile, is back at 50/1 on the Wimbledon betting lines and has said she’ll play in the tournament despite withdrawing from last week’s Aegon International with an abdominal injury. Bouchard lost in the final at Wimbledon last season, but advanced to just the quarterfinals at the Australian Open this year and lost in the first round at the French Open.
The favourite to win the women’s draw at Wimbledon is Serena Williams, the No. 1 seed and top-ranked player in the world who holds down 7/4 odds. Williams fell in the third round at Wimbledon last year but has won the tournament five times in her career – most recently in 2012. Williams is also the reigning champion of each of the U.S. Open, Australian Open, and French Open heading into Wimbledon next week.
Petra Kvitova, the No. 2 seed and defending Wimbledon champion, is then at 7/2 odds, followed by Maria Sharapova at 7/1, Victoria Azarenka at 9/1, Simona Halep at 12/1, and each of Lucie Safarova, Madison Keys, and Sabine Lisicki at 20/1. Carolina Wozniacki, the No. 5 seed for the Championships, is at 28/1 odds to win the tournament.
Back in the men’s draw it’s Novak Djokovic who is the 5/4 favourite to win the tournament — Djokovic, the top seed at the event, won Wimbledon in both 2011 and 2014, and he also took the trophy at the Australian Open earlier this season and lost in the final at the French Open.
Andy Murray is then at 11/4 odds to win Wimbledon, with Roger Federer at 6/1, and Rafael Nadal at 10/1. Murray, the No. 3 seed, won his lone Wimbledon title in 2013, while Federer, the No. 2 seed, has won the tournament seven times in his career – most recently in 2012. Nadal, the No. 10 seed for this year, picked up his two Wimbledon wins in 2008 and 2010.
Stan Wawrinka is at 14/1 odds to win Wimbledon this year, with Grigor Dimitrov at 20/1, Kei Nishikori joining Raonic at 25/1, and Tomas Berdych just back of that group at odds of 28/1.
