Wimbledon: Men’s Singles Final - Preview & Odds
3 minutes Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic meet at Wimbledon on Sunday as they contest the men’s singles final for the second successive year
Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic meet at Wimbledon on Sunday as they contest the men’s singles final for the second successive year. As we prepare for this hotly-anticipated Grand Slam final, here at betting.bet we’ll offer expert betting tips and match insights as well as the latest Wimbledon tennis odds and free bet offers from our partners at William Hill.
Route To The Final
Carlos Alcaraz has reached the final the hard way, dropping sets in each of his last four matches and actually went a set down in three of the four games played from round three onwards.
Carlos Alcaraz overcame a first set loss to Daniil Medvedev to progress from the semi-final. Medvedev had eliminated world number one Jannik Sinner a round earlier but the reigning champion dug deep to win in four sets.
Novak Djokovic has been arguably the most impressive performer at SW19 this month with notable straight-set wins over both Holger Rune and Lorenzo Musetti. Following an injury-disrupted season so far, Djokovic certainly would have welcomed the additional rest he was afforded when Alex de Minaur withdrew ahead of their quarter-final match.
Djokovic The Record-Breaker
Novak Djokovic has an opportunity to extend his incredible record of 24 men’s singles Grand Slam titles and in doing so he would draw level with Roger Federer on eight Wimbledon men’s singles titles. Incredibly, Djokovic has now reached six successive Wimbledon finals with last year’s defeat ending a run of four straight wins at the All England Club.
Carlos Alcaraz v Novak Djokovic: Head-to-Head
The developing rivalry between Djokovic and his heir apparent Carlos Alcaraz has seen them meet on five previous occasions with Djokvic leading 3-2 on head-to-head results. Djokoivic won their most recent meeting in straight sets, winning 6-3 6-2 in the semi-final of last year’s season-ending ATP Finals.
The only previous grass court meeting between Sunday’s finalists came twelve months ago in the 2023 Wimbledon men’s singles final. Djokovic took the first set but Carlos Alcaraz hit back to win a maiden Wimbledon title in a five-set classic.
Betting Tips
Carlos Alcaraz may have got the better of Novak Djokovic twelve months ago but we’re backing the Serb to regain his Wimbledon crown on Sunday. Djokovic has been on court for considerably fewer minutes than Alcaraz at Wimbledon this year and that additional rest cannot be underestimated during a gruelling two-week Grand Slam tournament. Djokovic has won in straight sets in his past two matches against Alcaraz and may have the beating on the reigning champion once more this weekend. Djokovic is solid value to win at 11/10..
If Djokovic is at his clinical best he is more than capable of wrapping up Sunday’s final in straight sets but in the set betting we’re going to recommend a 3-1 Djokovic win at odds of 9/2. Whilst we’re predicting the men’s singles final to be settled inside four sets, we’re not disrespecting Carlos Alcaraz enough to suggest a one-sided final. There have been at least 42 games played in each of the last four men’s singles finals at Wimbledon which makes the 8/13 on offer for over 39.5 games simply astonishing value.
Suggested Wimbledon Men’s Singles Final Bets
- Novak Djokovic to win 3-1 (set betting) - 9/2
