Wimbledon has seen its fair share of dominant champions in the Open era with Billie Jean King, Martina Navratilova, Steffi Graf and the Williams sisters all reigning supreme over SW19 at one time.
However since Serena Williams lost her grip on the women’s game, Wimbledon has had a more open feel to it with five different champions in the last five editions of the grass court Grand Slam.
Czech star Markéta Vondroušová was the most recent ladies' champion at the All England Club, but the 24-year-old is behind the likes of world number one Iga Swiatek and two-time Grand Slam champion Aryna Sabalenka in the betting to claim victory at SW19 this year.

Wimbledon women’s winners (Open Era)
World number one and two Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek are the two front runners to win at Wimbledon this year, although neither player has ever lifted the trophy and the All England Club.
2022 champion Elena Rybakina is the third favourite to claim her second Wimbledon title, after reaching the quarter-finals at SW19 last year before losing to eventual runner-up Ons Jabeur.
Defending women's champion Markéta Vondroušová is not among the favourites to retain her maiden Grand Slam title, the 24-year-old Czech is yet to win a tournament in 2024, with her longest run coming in a semi-final defeat at the Stuttgart Open earlier this year.
