World No. 1 Jannik Sinner is defending champion at Wimbledon
Veteran Novak Djokovic is chasing a 25th Grand Slam crown
Recommended bets:
There is no Carlos Alcaraz at Wimbledon this year - the Spaniard is still on the injury list.
Meanwhile, the fact that seven-time winner Novak Djokovic is drawn in the same half as defending champion and world No. 1 Jannik Sinner means the each-way opportunists are likely to be out in force in the lead-up to the grass-court Grand Slam tournament.
Most firms have long since been offering one-third the odds a place to reach the final, but that is unlikely to deter outright punters getting stuck into Wimbledon, especially given that Sinner was found wanting in round two of the French Open recently.

Fritz has a chance to prove doubters wrong
It’s probably fair to start by saying that there is probably little between American duo Taylor Fritz and Ben Shelton when it comes to picking a possible Wimbledon winner this year.
LiveScoreBet make both players 20/1 shots and that looks a pretty fair assessment of their chances.
Fritz is only marginally preferred of the pair, with Shelton’s day likely to come in the not-too-distant future.
Here, the Californian’s draw looks potentially easier than that of his younger compatriot, although he will have to be on top of his game from the outset to stop British number one Jack Draper.
Shelton may have to find a way past Ugo Humbert in round three, Jakub Mensik, Arthur Fils or Matteo Berrettini in the last 16 and Alex de Minaur or Flavio Cobolli in the last eight.
Should Fritz find a way past Draper, who returned from injury only last week in Eastbourne, there should be no-one to stop him until a possible semi-final clash with second seed Alexander Zverev, who himself recently joined the list of Grand Slam singles winners when prevailing on clay in the French Open.
That triumph, while getting a huge monkey off his back, is likely to have taken a lot out of Zverev and this time it could be the turn of Fritz.
The 28-year-old selection famously upended Zverev in five sets at Wimbledon two years ago and he would have a genuine opportunity to frank the form of that victory should they collide again at SW19.

Cobolli capable of emulating compatriot Paolini’s achievement
Jakub Mensik looks capable of winning Wimbledon in his career, but the Czech is only 20/1 this year and there is much more appeal in Flavio Cobolli at four times that price.
Cobolli, of course, only recently reached his first Grand Slam singles final at Roland Garros.
But while he failed to live with the more experienced Zverev in the Paris title match, it may be worth taking a chance on Cobolli repeating the achievement of his fellow Italian Jasmine Paolini, who came up short in the finals of the French Open and Wimbledon two years ago.
Cobolli took Mensik apart in three sets at Wimbledon last year and the versatile 24-year-old looks seriously capable on faster courts as well as slow ones.
