Wimbledon odds: Barty Party as Ash installed Wimbledon favourite

Australia’s top tennis player Ash Barty has been installed a $7 favourite to win Wimbledon, which starts on Sunday in England. 

The 25-year-old tops the betting for the women’s singles crown despite pulling out of the French Open about a month ago, with a hip injury. 

But in recent days the Ipswich product has indicated she is ready to go as she attempts to add to her 2019 French Open win, which is the world No.1’s one and only grand slam victory. 

US great Serena Williams is remarkably the outright second favourite at $8 to equal Margaret Court’s mark of 24 grand slam wins despite less-than-convincing form in recent times. 

Iga Swiatek ($10), Bianca Andreescu, Garbine Muguruza and Petra Kvitova (all $11) are next in the betting and have genuine claims on the women’s title. 

The men’s Wimbledon Crown is Novak Djokovic’s to lose if Australian bookmakers are to be believed, with his odds at TopSport very short at $1.91. 

Daniil Medvedev ($6.50) will be attempting to better his final appearance at the Australian Open earlier this year, although grass is not his best surface. 

Swiss champion Roger Federer is also finding some love among punters, priced at $9.50 to add to his treasure trove of eight Wimbledon titles, despite being just shy of his 40th birthday. 

Many of the top Australian betting sites run promotions surrounding the Australian Open, although it is illegal to advertise them in many cases, which means it can pay to have multiple bookie accounts.
