Bettingpro's guide to the penultimate Grand Slam tournament of the year, Wimbledon.

Roger Federer’s quest to become a nine-time Wimbledon men’s singles champion came to an end in the 2019 final as he was beaten by Novak Djokovic, but on his run to the final the Swiss legend had turned back the clock yet again and the bookmakers believe title number nine could come in 2020.

Of course, he faces a huge challenge as he tries to fend off five-time winner Djokovic who has won this grand slam tournament in each of the past two seasons and four times in the past six years, and if the Serb star can win it again in 2020 he will become the first male player to win the Wimbledon men’s singles title in three consecutive seasons since Federer reigned supreme between 2003 and 2007.

As far as the bookies are concerned only one other man is in contention to deny the pair, but Rafael Nadal has not made it to the Wimbledon men’s singles final since his defeat to Djokovic in 2011 and he has not won this grand slam title for a decade.

Over in the women’s draw there are three clear contenders for the crown, with defending champion Simona Halep heading up the betting after she destroyed Serena Williams in straight sets in the 2019 Final.

Seven-time champion Serena is fancied to get her revenge this time around, with 2018 winner Angelique Kerber considered the only other major threat to Halep’s bid to become a back-to-back champion.
