Wimbledon Final (July, 16th; TBD): Novak Djokovic (-195) vs. Carlos Alcaraz (+155)
Wimbledon carries a legacy that transcends generations, and I can think of no better way to exemplify that history than the matchup between 36-year old Novak Djokovic and 20-year old Carlos Alcaraz to determine the Men’s Singles champion. Djokovic, who has dominated the sport for years, is playing in his 34th major title match, and has won a record breaking 23 titles, the most of any male tennis player.
Alcaraz, the young up-and-comer from Spain, already has 1 major under his belt, and if he beats Djokovic, he will solidify his status as the best male tennis player in the world. Not many can say they’ve beaten the champ, but if anyone can do it, it’s this kid. Alcaraz is fast and has a brilliant touch, but Djokovic has the experience. Regardless of the winner, this final is what every tennis fan was hoping for.

Wimbledon Final (July, 15th; 9:00 AM EST): Ons Jabeur (-239) vs. Marketa Vondrousova (+185)
Wimbledon showcases some of the finest tennis talent, and on the Saturday, fans will be treated to a fantastic final between two of the top players in the world. Ons Jabeur is back in the final for the second consecutive year, while Marketa Vondrousova, who surprised everyone with her impressive run to the final, is competing in the first major championship of her career. Jabeur is the 6th ranked player in the world, and Vondrousova is the 42nd, giving Ons the favorite tag for this year’s final.
Don’t let Vondrousova’s lower ranking fool you though, she took down the No. 12, No. 20, No. 32, and No. 4 players in the world on her way to her first Wimbledon final. Ons upset Aryna Sabalenka, the No. 2 ranked player, in her semi-final match, and now looks to avenge her defeat from last year’s final. Vondrousova is a left-handed power player, while Jabeur is a crafty right-handed shot-placer, but although they have different play styles, they share a common goal, winning the Wimbledon Championship title.
