At the beginning of the week, two favorites have emerged for the 2021 Wimbledon Gentlemen’s and Ladies’ singles titles. On the Gentlemen’s side, we have Novak Djokovic, the hottest tennis brand going. And then, on the Ladies’ side, we have Ashleigh Barty as the chalk against a depleted field. Although Barty is the favorite, the Ladies’ side is much more open to a Wimbledon Betting Odds upset. The big question is if an underdog can pose a threat to Djokovic on the Gentlemen’s side.

2021 Wimbledon Championships SBG Odds Overview
On this occasion, the highest offshore bookmaker handle of the year for tennis will be bet. Even non-tennis fans bet on Wimbledon. Cause by its tradition and prestige. Much like the Masters in golf, Wimbledon is the gold standard of the sport. The greatest players in the world compete and want to win Wimbledon more than any other tennis event. As a result of that massive increase in casual betting money, big names become expensive overlays.
Namely, Novak Djokovic is the biggest name on the board at Wimbledon. And as the most dominant player on the Gentlemen’s side, he generates a flood of action at the betting window.
To differentiate, the Ladies’ singles side is missing some big names. Naomi Osaka, Bianca Andreescu, Simona Halep, and Serena Williams are all gone. That leaves a massive void on the board. Especially in the case of Williams. She retired due to an injury. Williams is consistently the most popular play on the board at Wimbledon.
Gentlemen’s Singles
First, on the Men’s ATP rankings is Novak Djokovic. Since February 3, 2020, Djokovic has been in that position. Djokovic has won the last two Wimbledon Gentlemen’s singles titles. And has a total of five Wimbledon singles championships for his career.
Second on the ATP world rankings is Daniil Medvedev. Medvedev has never won a Grand Slam singles championship. But most gamblers consider him to be the best underdog option to challenge Djokovic.
Italy’s Matteo Berrettini is something of a Wimbledon betting odds dark horse. Although he ranks 9th on the ATP charts, gamblers see his potential. In like manner to Medvedev, Berrettini is seeking his first Grand Slam championship.
And then there is the Old Pro Roger Federer. At age 39, Federer is past his prime. Still, he is ranked 8th in the World. And as an eight-time Wimbledon singles champion, he knows what it takes to prevail.
Ladies’ Singles
First in the Women’s Tennis Association rankings is Ashleigh Barty. Barty has only one career Grand Slam win (2019 French Open). But with much of the tougher competition cleared out, Barty has a Wimbledon opening like never before.
Aryna Sabalenka is an emerging superstar at age 23 out of Belarus. Concurrently she is ranked 4th in the WTA charts and moving fast.
SBG Best Bets: Novak Djokovic and Aryna Sabalenka.
