Reigning Wimbledon women's singles champion Marketa Vondrousova will attempt to repeat her Cinderella run to last year's title beginning on Monday at the 2024 Wimbledon Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London. Last year Vondrousova became the first unseeded player to win the title, knocking off Ons Jabeur in the final. This year Vondrousova enters the tournament seeded No. 6 and is +5000 to win the title in the 2024 Wimbledon odds. Meanwhile reigning Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka is the slight +320 favorite among the 128 Wimbledon players.
World No. 1 and five-time grand slam champion Iga Swiatek is the +350 second choice in the odds. Elena Rybakina (+500), American Coco Gauff (+650) and Naomi Osaka (+1300) round out the top five players on the odds board for the women's singles draw. Before making any 2024 Wimbledon picks, be sure to see the Wimbledon predictions from SportsLine tennis handicapper Jose Onorato .
Onorato grew up playing competitive tennis in Caracas, Venezuela. After coming to the U.S., he trained with famed coach Nick Bollettieri at IMG Academy in Florida and faced players like Robert Farah, now one of the world's top-ranked doubles players.
Onorato, who holds dual degrees in finance and economics from the University of Miami, does extensive research before placing any tennis bets. He studies current form, players' tendencies on a particular surface, weather conditions and many other relevant factors. That systematic approach has helped Onorato go 168-106-9 (+107.12 units) since 2022. In the most recent grand slam tournament, the 2024 French Open, he correctly picked Swiatek (-160) to win the women's title.
One surprise: Onarato is fading Iga Swiatek, who is the second choice in the odds at +350. Ranked No. 1 in the world, Swiatek is coming off a dominant run in winning the French Open. On the clay at Roland Garros, she did not lose a set over her last five matches en route to the title.
But Swiatek has never excelled on grass courts. She has never won a title in eight career tournaments on grass and has never gone beyond the quarterfinals at Wimbledon. "Despite her world No. 1 ranking and consistent performances on other surfaces, Swiatek has traditionally struggled on grass," he told SportsLine. You can see whom else to back here .
