Serena Williams returns to Wimbledon after a four‑year Grand Slam hiatus, but sportsbooks list her as a long shot. Draft Kings posts her at 35‑1, after a swing from 28‑1 to 50‑1 earlier in the week. Caesars’ Lewis Harland says American bettors will likely back the legend, making her the book’s second‑largest liability on the women’s side.

Betting action spreads across the women’s draw as parity fuels wagers on every odds tier. Draft Kings lists Aryna Sabalenka at +350, Elena Rybakina +550 and Iga Swiatek +750, while Coco Gauff sits at 11‑1 and Jessica Pegula at 12‑1. Caesars and Bet MGM note the women’s market is generating more handle than the men’s, creating sizable liabilities for the bookmakers.

On the men’s side, Jannik Sinner opens as the odds‑on favorite at -165, the second straight Grand Slam where bookmakers price him as the top pick. Carlos Alcaraz’s injury absence left Sinner’s odds elevated, though recent clay form and a shoulder issue have nudged the price higher. American hopes linger on Ben Shelton (16‑1) and Taylor Fritz (20‑1), both now notable liabilities for the sportsbooks.
