Wimbledon Men's Singles Favourites

All signs point to the All England Club for the third Grand Slam of the 2025 season and the most prestigious event on the tennis calendar, Wimbledon.

Carlos Alcaraz is the defending champion after claiming his second Wimbledon title with a comprehensive straight-sets victory over Novak Djokovic last year and the generational Spaniard disputes favouritism with his new rival Jannik Sinner, whom he conquered in a sensational French Open final.

We take a look at the favourites to be crowned Wimbledon champion in 2025.

2025 Wimbledon Men's Singles Favourites

(Odds will display when market is available).

Carlos Alcaraz

Carlos Alcaraz became the youngest player to win the French Open and Wimbledon titles in the same year when he swept aside Novak Djokovic in the 2024 Wimbledon final and he is the joint-favourite to repeat the Channel Slam by triumphing at the All England Club again this year.

The Spaniard prevailed in one of the greatest Grand Slam finals of all time as he fought back from two sets down and saved three championship points to defeat Jannik Sinner in the French Open final, and the betting odds suggest the pair are likely to renew their blossoming rivalry at Wimbledon.

There had been doubts over Alcaraz's ability to master playing on grass courts earlier in his career.

But his winning percentage at Wimbledon has climbed to 90 which puts him joint second on that metric alongside Pete Sampras and narrowly behind Bjorn Borg (92.7 per cent).

There remains plenty of time for Alcaraz to fine tune his game and get even better. The powerhouse Spaniard has every shot in the book, with a booming serve, crunching groundstrokes, cultured volleys and classy drop shots among his repertoire.

Jannik Sinner

To be leading 6-4, 7-6, 4-6, 5-3 (40-0*) in the French Open final and not emerge with a fourth Grand Slam title will be a chastening blow for Jannik Sinner and questions will be asked of his ability to bounce back from such a significant setback.

Yet the world number one will be able to take plenty of encouragement from his performances in Paris, having returned to competitive action in scintillating style by not dropping a set en route to the French Open showpiece, only to be undone by Alcaraz's magical brilliance in the final.

The Italian was the number one seed at Wimbledon in 2024 and played some excellent tennis until his quarter-final loss to Daniil Medvedev, when he seemed to be under the weather.

He has a big serve, excellent balance and heavy groundstrokes and is one of the few players capable of getting Alcaraz out of his comfort zone.

Novak Djokovic

He is statistically the greatest player of all time with 24 Grand Slam titles to his name but time appears to be running out for Djokovic to add a 25th to his illustrious collection.

Djokovic's loss to Alcaraz in the 2024 final was much more one-sided than he would have liked and it prompted questions about whether time is starting to catch up with the Serbian.

This year, Djokovic got the better of Alcaraz at the Australian Open only for injury to force his withdrawal in the semi-finals, and at the French Open he produced a sublime performance to dispatch Alexander Zverev in four sets before Djokovic was overpowered by Sinner in the semi-finals.

Federer became the oldest Open era Wimbledon men's champion when he landed the last of his eight titles, aged 36, in 2017.

Djokovic fell short of breaking that record in 2024 and his task of accomplishing an eighth Wimbledon championship this year appears an increasingly tall order, albeit not out of reach.

Alexander Zverev

A Grand Slam title still eludes world number three Zverev, but the German did play second fiddle to Alcaraz in last season's French Open and was also runner-up to Sinner at the Australian Open earlier in the year.

The 28-year-old should soon get his day in the sun, although that day is unlikely to be at Wimbledon, unless Zverev unearths a solution to his grass court woes.

Zverev has won 24 tour-level titles but has never triumphed on grass and the German has failed to progress beyond the fourth round in eight attempts at Wimbledon.

Jack Draper

Now up to a career-high ranking of world number four, Britain's Draper is starting to demonstrate that he is the real deal and more success is likely to follow providing he keeps himself fighting fit.

Draper has already had a landmark year, winning his maiden ATP 1000 final at Indian Wells in March before making another Masters title decider in Madrid, albeit falling short to Casper Ruud.

Although Draper echoed disappointment at his fourth round exit to Alexander Bublik the French Open, there were numerous positives following a breakthrough year on clay and he will be looking to transfer that progress onto grass.

The 23-year-old won his maiden ATP title in Stuttgart last year and followed it up with a notable straight-sets success over Alcaraz at Queen's.

He was stunned by compatriot Cameron Norrie in the second round of Wimbledon last year, but with his levels of fitness dramatically improving and an explosive serve in his locker, Draper will have hopes of advancing to the latter stages of the competition.
