Wimbledon 2026: Top five women's singles players with best odds to win
Aryna Sabalenka heads into Wimbledon 2026 as the bookmakers’ favourite.
Serena Williams successfully defended her crown in 2016, which happened to be her seventh and final triumph at the prestigious All England Club. From 2017 to 2025, each year has witnessed unprecedented action in the women’s arena, with a unique name emerging as the winner on each instance.
Betting on any player from the current field list of WTA is tricky, but the rewards are richer. For those looking to place a bet on the upcoming marquee event, here are the top five players with the best odds and opinions on whether they’re worth backing.
Top five women’s singles players with the best odds of winning Wimbledon 2026

Aryna Sabalenka (+325)
Aryna Sabalenka continues to find herself at the top of this list, but her odds are extremely close to the second player, which showcases the low confidence bettors have on her. Sabalenka has not reached a final since the Miami Open, and has never won a title on grass.
After several months, the World No. 1 enters a competition with plenty to prove. She had lost to Amanda Anisimova in the semi-finals last year, and will hope she learns from her previous lessons to finally win her first Grand Slam title of the season.
Elena Rybakina (+425)
Elena Rybakina’s recent form might make many question why she is second on this list. The Kazakh has the game and skill at her disposal to thrive on this surface and repeat her 2022 heroics.
Rybakina ended the previous season with a bang, winning the Ningbo Open and WTA Finals. She went on to win the Australian Open at the start of this season, but since the Sunshine Double, the second seed has found it tough going, with many suspecting that her purple patch has now ended.
She recently complained of a hip injury, forcing her to withdraw from Bad Homburg. She is also inches away from the World No. 1 position, which could add extra pressure.
The Kazakh will hope her longstanding coach Vukov is back for her Wimbledon camapign, as she looks to re-assert her credentials on grass, a surface where she has not been able to live up to expectations post Wimbledon 2022.
Iga Swiatek (+650)
Defending champion Iga Swiatek has not won a title since her Wimbledon 2025 triumph. The Pole has undergone a drastic decline, and her dominance on clay has noticeably declined over the past two seasons. Swiatek had stunned everyone when she won the title at SW19 last year, due to her poor record on this surface historically.
One year since, Swiatek enters as the third seed, but could leave the top-6 WTA rankings if she fails to make a deep run. Expectations are low from Swiatek for this Grand Slam, but the question remains if she can become the first female player in nearly a decade to successfully defend her Wimbledon crown.
Mirra Andreeva (+700)
The recently crowned Roland Garros champion Mirra Andreeva certainly has a great chance to win her maiden Wimbledon title. The Russian has already shown that she is capable of winning consecutive titles, having previously won the Sunshine Double in 2025.
Andreeva enters SW19 with limited grass-court preparation and grass has statistically been the least successful surface of her young career. However, the Russian boasts an 8-3 record at Wimbledon and reached the quarter-finals last year.
Having shown remarkable maturity during her Roland Garros title run, she arrives in London as a far more composed and confident player than she was 12 months ago.
Coco Gauff (+1100)
Despite her modest grass-court record, oddsmakers continue to rate Gauff among the leading contenders. The American failed to win a grass-court match in 2025, and started her singles campaign in 2026 with a defeat in Berlin. It would be a huge surprise if Gauff goes the distance, even though the market places her at #5 in the leading contenders list.
Former finalist Amanda Anisimova and World No. 4 Jessica Pegula narrowly miss the cut for this list.
