As Wimbledon 2025 commences, all eyes are on Novak Djokovic. The Serbian legend, holding 24 Grand Slam singles titles, is a constant subject of speculation about his future in tennis. At 38, questions arise whether each major tournament could be his last. Despite the uncertainty, Djokovic remains determined.
The Odds Are In
Currently, Carlos Alcaraz is favored to win Wimbledon 2025 with odds of +110, followed by Jannik Sinner at +190. Novak Djokovic is listed at +650.
Expert Opinions
Tennis expert Jose Onorato is not backing Djokovic in his Wimbledon 2025 best bets. Onorato’s success in calling major tournaments is noteworthy, having accurately predicted Jannik Sinner’s 2024 U.S. Open and 2025 Australian Open victories, as well as Carlos Alcaraz’s 2025 French Open win.
Djokovic’s Recent Form
Before the French Open, Djokovic secured his 100th career title at the Geneva Open and reached the semifinals at Roland Garros. Despite losing to Jannik Sinner in the French Open, it was a competitive match.
The Wimbledon Draw
Alcaraz has a favorable draw, potentially avoiding Sinner and Djokovic until the final. Sinner and Djokovic are in the same part of the draw, setting the stage for a possible clash. Djokovic’s first significant challenge might be against Alex de Minaur in the fourth round, followed by a potential quarterfinal match with Alexander Bublik.

Djokovic’s Wimbledon History
Djokovic has an impressive record at Wimbledon, having reached the final six times in a row. Even after recent knee surgery, he reached the final last year. He has won Wimbledon seven times, just one title behind Roger Federer’s record of eight. In the last eight years, he has only lost twice at Wimbledon, both times to Alcaraz in the final.
Predictions
Despite Alcaraz’s momentum and recent victories, Djokovic’s track record and skill on grass make him a strong contender. Djokovic’s precise serving and excellent ball-striking enhance his chances. While Sinner is a significant threat, some doubt his ability to defeat Djokovic in a high-pressure match, especially on grass.
