The 139th edition of Wimbledon gets underway on Monday with one overwhelming question hanging over the men’s singles draw — can anyone stop Jannik Sinner?The Italian is the hot favourite to defend the title he won last summer when beating Carlos Alcaraz in four sets on Championship Sunday.With the Spaniard sidelined by a wrist injury this year, the gap between Sinner and the rest of the field feels wider than ever. Still, Grand Slams rarely follow the script and with Novak Djokovic chasing history, Alexander Zverev arriving as a newly crowned French Open champion, and a pack of big‑serving Americans lurking in the draw, there could be a shock at the end of the fortnight.Wimbledon Tennis TipsJannik Sinner to Win @ 8/13Alexander Zverev to Win & E/W (⅓ odds 2 places) @ 9/1Taylor Fritz to Win & E/W (⅓ odds 2 places) @ 18/1Get £30 in free bets on tennisSinner looks untouchable on grassIf you’re looking for a player whose form, profile and trajectory all point upward, Jannik Sinner is the obvious standout.The world No. 1 has been devastating in 2026, his improved serve and laser‑clean ball‑striking give him complete control of rallies on every surface.Grass only amplifies his strengths with its low bounce, fast pace and resultant shorter points.The 24-year-old has already proved that he can handle the unique pressure of Centre Court, although it may feel different as defending champion.With Alcaraz absent and Djokovic no longer the five‑set machine he once was, Sinner’s path looks remarkably clear. He has not dropped a set in the opening week of a Slam since the 2024 US Open, and it would be no surprise if he repeated that feat here.At 8/13, he is short — but deservedly so. Unless something dramatic happens, expect Sinner to lift the trophy again — and perhaps without dropping a set.German has got his act togetherAlexander Zverev got the monkey off his back at Roland Garros by finally clinching his first Grand Slam singles title and it may spur him on to more at SW19.Wimbledon has not been a happy hunting ground for the German, who has not been beyond the fourth round in nine attempts, winning only 64% of his matches there.Zverev possesses the weapons to succeed on grass, but he needs to learn from his first-round exit to Arthur Rinderknech last year that he cannot get away with less than his best if he is to go deep. Fritz has the weapons to go deepTaylor Fritz withdrew from this week’s Eastbourne event, but the big-serving American is expected to be fully fit for Wimbledon.His game is perfectly built for the All England Club, possessing as it does a huge serve, flat backhand and improved movement.The No.6 seed reached the semi‑finals last year, losing a close four-setter to Alcaraz in a tie-break.To go all the way, he must dispatch the unseeded and lower-ranked opponents with as much ruthless efficiency as Sinner in order to be the Italian’s physical equal for any meeting later on.He came through five-set battles in the first and second round last year which, allied to his long run at Eastbourne, probably caught up with him by the second week. He has the experience of the 2024 US Open Final, which he lost to Sinner, to draw upon should he reach his second Grand Slam Sunday, and looks good value to make a splash at his each-way terms.Get £30 in free bets on tennisOdds correct at time of writing18+ New Customers only.
