Jannik Sinner’s Wimbledon Odds Surge After Alcaraz Withdraws
  • Jannik Sinner’s odds to win Wimbledon jumped from -125 to -300 after Carlos Alcaraz announced his withdrawal from the event.
  • Alcaraz had +135 odds to win, but his ongoing wrist injury keeps him out of competition.
  • Alexander Zverev went from +1600 to +1200, but Novak Djokovic is the clear second option behind Sinner with +600 odds.

LONDON – Wimbledon betting favorite Jannik Sinner is even more likely to win the grass-court Grand Slam after the withdrawal of Carlos Alcaraz. As two-time Wimbledon winner Alcaraz continues to nurse a wrist injury, Sinner’s Wimbledon odds jumped from -125 to -300.

Alcaraz announced his withdrawal from Wimbledon on his X account, instantly shaking up the odds board. The Spaniard had +150 at legal sports betting sites to win it this year and add an eighth career Grand Slam, but that pursuit will have to wait until the US Open.

Who Is Going To Beat Jannik Sinner?

With Alcaraz missing a second-consecutive Grand Slam, Jannik Sinner’s biggest competitor is out of the picture. The latest legal tennis betting odds movement suggest that Alexander Zverev can make a push at the World No. 1, as his Wimbledon odds shortened from +1600 to +1200.

Still, 24-time Grand Slam winner Novak Djokovic is the only player with odds in the triple digits. His Wimbledon odds went from +700 to +600 following the withdrawal of Alcaraz, proving that this was always likely to be a two-man race between Sinner and Alcaraz for the Gentlemen’s Singles Trophy.
