Wimbledon 2022: Current title odds for women’s bracket heading into first round

For the 135th time The All-England Lawn & Tennis Club will be the host The Championships, a.k.a. Wimbledon. This year the tournament will be held from Monday, June 27 to Sunday, July 10. The ladies singles championships will be held Saturday, July 9 and the gentleman’s singles final will be held the following Sunday. ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPN+ will handle the broadcasting duties throughout the event.

Ashleigh Barty won the ladies title in 2021, but retired from tennis in March, a month after winning the Australian Open, and will not defend her title. The ban on players from Russia and Belarus will force major changes in the women’s draw. Top 5 player Aryna Sabalenka, of Belarus, is out along with top 20 players Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova and Victoria Azarenka. Other rising top 100 players not in the draw include Darya Kasatkina, Veronika Kudermetova, Ludmilla Samsonova, Ekaterina Alexandrova, Aliaksandra Sanovich, Varvara Gracheva, Anna Kalinskaya, Anastasia Potapova, and Kamilla Rakhimova.

One Russian player that is at The Championships is Natela Dzalamidze, who will be participating in doubles with Aleksandra Krunic. They are seeded 13th in the tournament.

Two-time French Open champion Iga Swiatek is the betting favorite to win the singles title at +160. She has not had the same success on grass that she does on clay and has never gotten past the fourth round at Wimbledon. Ons Jabeur (+850) and 2022 French Open finalist Coco Gauff (+1300) round out the top three betting favorites.

Former champions are well represented on the bettor’s board. 2019 champion Simona Halep is +1500. 2018 Champion Angelique Kerber is +3500 to make her third Wimbledon final. And 2017 champion Garbine Muguruza is at +6500.

Also keep an eye on 2021 U.S. Open champion Emma Raducanu (+4000), who will draw massive crowds in her home country. Former U.S. Open finalist Madison Keys comes in at +5000. 2017 U.S. Open Champion and 2018 French Open Finalist Sloane Stephens is a curious longshot at +15000.

But one name hangs over the tournament and it’s that of seven-time Wimbledon champion, 23-time Grand Slam champion and modern-day GOAT Serena Williams. She is returning to the grass at 40 years old and is betting at +1800.
