- Jannik Sinner (6/4) is likely Alcaraz’s biggest challenger, fresh off a dramatic French Open runner-up and strong soil-to-grass run.
- Novak Djokovic (5/1) is eight-time Wimbledon champ and remains a major contender despite being behind in betting.
Women’s Singles
- Barbora Krejčíková (40/1) returns to defend her 2024 title, though recent injury concerns cloud her form.
- Aryna Sabalenka (5/2) has strong grass credentials and is aiming to improve on past Wimbledon runs
- Coco Gauff (11/2) the 2025 French champ, is gaining momentum on grass and is seen as a formidable contender.
- Emma Raducanu (28/1), despite a back issue, remains a British wildcard and will be hoping to build momentum at Eastbourne.
