Novak Djokovic Wimbledon Odds: Djokovic Has 40.8% Chance To Win Wimbledon

If you stopped watching the 2021 French Open Final early, you missed one of the greatest comebacks of Novak Djokovic’s already illustrious career. Down two sets to none, Djokovic rallied to win three straight sets, giving him the French Open title and his 19th Grand Slam victory of his career.

Now, following his win at Roland Garros, all eyes are on Novak Djokovic’s Wimbledon odds, for a couple of reasons. The first being that Djokovic has five Wimbledon titles to his name, the second most for him of all Grand Slams, behind the Australian Open. He has won the last two Wimbledon’s to be played and Novak Djokovic’s 2021 Wimbledon odds have him as a massive favorite.

The second reason to watch is he’s halfway to a calendar year Grand Slam, winning the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and US Open in the same calendar year. This feat has only been accomplished in men’s singles tennis twice before. The first to ever do it was Don Budge in 1938, and the second to ever win these titles in the same year was Rod Laver.

Novak Djokovic is the world’s No. 1 tennis player. Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer aren’t the players they once were and there is no natural challenger to Djokovic’s greatness right now.

So, let’s take a look at Novak Djokovic’s Wimbledon odds and see if he’s going to get one step closer to tennis immortality.

Novak Djokovic Wimbledon Odds

As mentioned previously, Novak Djokovic has won five Wimbledon titles in his career. Those five titles are his second most in any Grand Slam, following the nine Australian Open titles he has to his name.

Novak Djokovic won the 2018 and 2019 Wimbledon, the last two held due to 2020’s COVID-19 cancellation. Of the last six Wimbledon’s held, Novak Djokovic has won four.

With that type of recent success, it makes sense why Novak Djokovic’s Wimbledon odds are so short. As of today, following his French Open Final win over Stefanos Tsitsipas, the Serbian’s Wimbledon odds sit at +145.

Sure, his odds are still better than even, but a look at the rest of the 2021 Wimbled odds will show you just how far ahead Novak Djokovic is from the rest of the pack.

After Novak Djokovic’s Wimbledon odds of +145, the next shortest price is Roger Federer to win Wimbledon at a whopping +850. Rafael Nadal follows Federer at +900, Tsitsipas at +975 and Daniil Medvedev rounds out the top five at +1075.

To make things even more interesting, an early look at the 2021 Men’s US Open odds show us Djokovic with similar odds for that tournament, sitting at +140.

Wimbledon Betting

As is to be expected, Novak Djokovic has become quite a popular pick to win Wimbledon since his unbelievable comeback against Tsitsipas in the French Open Final on Sunday. Since the conclusion of that match, he’s been far and away the most bet on player in the Wimbledon betting market.

In the past few hours, 37.5% of all Wimbledon futures bets are on Novak Djokovic to win, even with his insanely short price compared to the rest of the field. For reference, that’s three times as popular as the second most picked player in Wimbledon betting, Alexander Zverev, who has 12.5% of Wimbledon futures backing him in the same time span.
