Wimbledon opens with a wide field, but many of the same names headline the draw. Carlos Alcaraz comes in as the defending champion and fresh off a second title at Queen’s Club. Jannik Sinner has the cleanest draw on paper. Novak Djokovic has been in the final each of the last six times he’s played here. The women’s side is much more of a toss-up, with plenty of players capable of winning it all. Elena Rybakina remains the most proven Wimbledon winner in the field although Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff, last year’s finalist Jasmine Paolini, and previous champion Marketa Vondrousova are not to be overlooked.

 

 

 

Best Bet: Carlos Alcaraz to Win (+120 at DraftKings Sportsbook)

We’ve picked Carlos a lot this year and honestly he deserves it. Alcaraz is the most reliable player on grass right now. His athleticism, court coverage, and sharp anticipation skills make him one of the toughest players to hit through. He’s also tightened up his second serve, turning what was once a liability into a strength that keeps him out of long service games.

His half of the draw includes Berrettini, Fritz, Medvedev, and Zverev. It’s not an easy section. Each of them can threaten if they catch form, but none have proven themselves at Wimbledon the way Alcaraz has. The Spaniard beat Novak Djokovic in straight sets here last year, a statement win that highlighted both his composure and command on grass. This surface rewards assertive first-strike tennis, but Alcaraz’s ability to mix drop shots, slice defense, and net pressure gives him options when rallies stretch out.

His wins over top-tier opponents on this surface have already proven how he responds to varied styles under pressure, and his ability to elevate his game in second weeks of majors is already established. While his section includes a few dangerous floaters, Alcaraz’s current level and grass pedigree position him to navigate it successfully.

 

 

 

ATP Free Pick: Taylor Fritz to Win Quarter 3 (+450 at DraftKings Sportsbook)

Fritz enters Wimbledon with positive momentum after a strong grass season that includes a title in Stuttgart and a final appearance in Eastbourne. His serve remains one of the most effective on tour, particularly on grass, where he can win free points and keep pressure off his return games. That gives him a cushion against players like Medvedev or Zverev, who typically struggle on faster surfaces.

Medvedev’s flat groundstrokes can falter when the ball stays low on grass, and Zverev’s return position often leaves him vulnerable to aggressive serving patterns. Fritz has shown the ability to beat top-10 players on grass and won't have to face Alcaraz unless he reaches the semifinal. At +450, the price reflects opportunity in a wide-open quarter rather than certainty, but he’s well-positioned to make a run.

 

 

 

WTA Best Bet: Elena Rybakina to Win Outright (+600 at DraftKings Sportsbook)

Rybakina won the title in 2022 and has maintained strong grass-court form over the past three seasons. She fell to Tatjana Maria in straight sets early in the grass swing, then narrowly lost to Sabalenka in three just last week. Her ability to hit through the court and redirect pace gives her the edge against the tour’s more defensive players. The Kazakh’s game translates seamlessly to the surface: a powerful, flat serve that skids through the court, paired with clean ball striking and efficient movement. That combination allows her to settle quickly into matches without needing much time to find rhythm.

Rybakina avoids Sabalenka until the final, but shares her half with both Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff. There are questions about Swiatek’s effectiveness on grass and Sabalenka has yet to appear in a Wimbledon final. At +600, she’s the most balanced combination of value and winning probability.

 

 

 

WTA Free Pick: Mirra Andreeva to Win Quarter 3 (+210 at DraftKings Sportsbook)

Quarter 3 is the softest in the women’s draw. Andreeva’s game suits grass—she absorbs pace well, hits with margin, and doesn’t rely too heavily on movement patterns that break down on low-bounce surfaces. Her tennis IQ allows her to make in-match adjustments, and she’s already shown poise in big moments, reaching the fourth round here last year.

While Jessica Pegula’s recent form is a factor (she’s in the Bad Homburg final) she still lacks elite grass-court weapons. The rest of the quarter features inconsistency or inexperience, and Andreeva is arguably the most balanced player in this section. She won’t need to face a top-five seed, and her ability to stay mentally composed gives her a real shot at making a second-week appearance. At +210, there’s strong upside for a quarter that lacks a clear favorite.
