2024 Men’s Wimbledon Odds: Carlos Alcaraz Favored to Repeat, Novak Djokovic’s Odds Not Listed

In 2023, phenom Carlos Alcaraz dethroned Novak Djokovic in a thrilling five set match for the Wimbledon title, his second Grand Slam.

This year, Alcaraz is favored to do so yet again, even more so with Novak Djokovic's status in question heading into the third Grand Slam of 2024 after he had to withdraw from the French Open due to a torn meniscus.

Alcaraz, who won the French Open on Sunday, is expected to repeat at Wimbledon, but the emergence of Jannik Sinner is notable. Sinner, who rose to No. 1 in the world following the French Open is a close second choice to take down Alcaraz while other contenders like Alexander Zverev and Daniil Medvedev loom as well.

Here are the early odds for Wimbledon following the French Open

The two bright young stars in tennis at the moment, fresh off a five-set thriller at the French Open in the semifinals, could be in line to meet yet again with the stakes at its highest on grass this year.

With Djokovic status in doubt to return for Wimbledon, Alcaraz and Sinner are the clear top choices to emerge out of the fray in what should be a competitive Grand Slam.

In the past day, I had to make some tough decisions after sustaining a meniscus tear during my last match. I’m still processing it all but I am happy to update you that the surgery went well.

The two rising stars continue to play thrillers against one another in Grand Slam meetings, two of the three have gone five sets. However, the one that didn't was back in 2022 when Sinner won in the fourth round of Wimbledon.

There will be intrigue at the top of the odds board as to whether Djokovic can make an incredible return to the court, but if not, it could be another wide open field with people trying to take down Alcaraz and Sinner.

Carlos Alcaraz vs. Jannik Sinner Prediction, Odds and Pick for French Open Semifinals

Two of the brightest stars in the sport of tennis meet with a first time spot in the French Open finals on the line.

Jannik Sinner is set to be the No. 1 player in the world for the first time in history, but will need to get past two-time Grand Slam champ Carlos Alcaraz, the No. 3 player in the world.

Both set to rule the sport, both elite on clay, both trying to win it all at Roland-Garros for the first time.

Here’s our full betting preview for the highly anticipated semifinal on Friday.

Spread

Moneyline

Total: 38.5 (Over -110/Under -120)

These two have a competitive head-to-head against one another, 5-4 in favor of the Spaniard, including each winning a match on clay. However, that doesn’t translate as much considering the two matches were in 2022 and 2019.

Sinner is enjoying a career run that includes an Australia Open title, moving closer to Alcaraz in terms of how he is viewed in the sport, but the odds are rightfully with the U.S. Open and Wimbledon champion, who entered the tournament as the favorite and has backed it up with a dominant run to date. Alcaraz has dropped only one set and looks primed to avenge his cramp issue in the semifinals last year against Novak Djokovic.

Sinner is 28-3 on the year, losing one match on clay (he did withdraw from another), but there is no denying that Alcaraz has far more upside between the two on this surface.

Instead of taking a side, I believe we are primed to see plenty of twists and turns in this one, including plenty of outstanding play.

The two players have consistently pushed each other, only two matches have been straight sets, and the lone Grand Slam meeting went to a deciding fifth that included two tiebreakers.

I expect at least four sets, and plenty of drawn out games with the potential of tiebreaks.

Over is my favorite way to bet this match.

PICK: OVER 38.5 Games (-110)
