Another exciting Wimbledon will be in the books in a few short days, as we have reached the semifinals of both the men’s singles and women’s singles draws.
The top three seeds have reached the Wimbledon men’s singles semifinals, in addition to #8 Jannik Sinner. Sinner emerged from the quarter in which #4 seed Casper Ruud suffered a second-round upset against Liam Broady.
As is often the case in Grand Slams, the women’s singles draw has seen plenty of chaos and unpredictability.
After winning the French Open, Iga Swiatek achieved her best Wimbledon result in reaching her first quarterfinal. However, her tournament was ended there by unseeded Elina Svitolina, who has marked her return to the court by reaching the French Open quarterfinals and now the Wimbledon semifinals.
A thrilling conclusion is surely to come with some of the world’s top tennis players in action, but who is going to win the Wimbledon men’s and women’s singles titles? Let’s take a look at the tournament odds, as well as the men’s and women’s singles schedules for the remainder of the tournament.

Can Anyone Halt Djokovic’s Drive for Grand Slam Glory?
The big story on the men’s side is whether or not Novak Djokovic, the #2 seed in the Wimbledon men’s singles draw, will successfully continue his quest for a calendar-year Grand Slam.
Two years ago, he went down at the last possible hurdle. In the US Open final, he went down to Daniil Medvedev, a crushing end to his dreams and surely many bets.
Will his hopes still be alive entering this year’s US Open? Djokovic hasn’t lost a completed match at Wimbledon since a third-round loss to Sam Querrey in 2016. In 2017, he retired while down a set and 2-0 against Tomas Berdych in the quarters.
With his run of success in this tournament, as well as his dominance in the Grand Slams thus far in 2023, Sinner and then Alcaraz or Medvedev will have a tough time keeping Djokovic from a record-tying eighth Wimbledon title and a record-extending 24th Grand Slam singles title.
Will Swiatek’s Exit Set Up Sabalenka’s Crowning Moment?
Even with Aryna Sabalenka’s ascension over the last year, Iga Swiatek has maintained her hold on the number one ranking in women’s singles.
But as a result of her loss to Svitolina, Swiatek will drop from the top spot in the rankings if Sabalenka can get past Ons Jabeur in the semifinals.
Of course, reaching the top step on the rankings won’t be all that exciting if it doesn’t also come with a Wimbledon title, and the Australian Open champion is the favorite with Swiatek no longer in the mix.
Either she or Jabeur will be firmly favored against Svitolina or Vondrousova, but in women’s tennis, you can never count anyone out. After all, Swiatek appeared to be well on her way to a potential final against Sabalenka, but Svitolina threw a big wrench into those plans.
