Wimbledon 2026 Tips, Odds & Australian Betting Guide

With two-time champion Carlos Alcaraz out injured, defending champion Jannik Sinner is the man to beat at Wimbledon 2026 — and Alex de Minaur leads a 13-strong Australian charge.

Wimbledon update (12 July): The champions are crowned. Jannik Sinner defended his title, beating Alexander Zverev 6-7(7), 7-6(2), 6-3, 6-4 for a fifth Grand Slam — read our men’s final report. Earlier, Linda Nosková won the women’s title over Karolína Muchová (report). No Australian reached the singles quarter-finals.

Wimbledon 2026 — the third Grand Slam of the year and the only major on grass — runs from Monday 29 June to Sunday 12 July 2026 at the All England Club. The men’s draw has been turned on its head by the withdrawal of two-time champion Carlos Alcaraz (a wrist injury that also cost him the French Open), leaving defending champion Jannik Sinner as a short favourite. Below: our outright tips and contenders for both draws, the full Australian contingent led by Alex de Minaur, key dates, how to watch in Australia, the grass-court markets and a Wimbledon FAQ.

Wimbledon 2026 Semi-Final Results & Finals

The semi-finals are done and both finals are set: Sinner v Zverev (men’s, Sunday) and the all-Czech Muchová v Nosková (women’s, Saturday). Here is how the semis played out, with links to our full men’s and women’s final previews.

Jannik Sinner v Novak Djokovic (Men’s SF)

Result: Sinner produced the performance of the fortnight, beating seven-time champion Novak Djokovic 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 — 16 aces and 88% of points won behind his first serve. He is into a second straight Wimbledon final and remains the man to beat. Full breakdown in our men’s final preview: Sinner v Zverev →

Alexander Zverev v Arthur Fery (Men’s SF)

Result: Zverev ended Arthur Fery’s wild-card fairytale 7-6(0), 6-2, 6-4, serving big when it mattered to book his first Wimbledon final and a shot at back-to-back majors after his Roland Garros title.

Linda Nosková def. Karolína Muchová (Women’s Final)

Result: Nosková won the first all-Czech Wimbledon final 6-2, 5-7, 6-3 for her maiden Grand Slam — the youngest champion here since Kvitová in 2011. She led 5-2 in the second and squandered five championship points as Muchová forced a decider, before regrouping to close it out. Read our full women’s final report →

Men’s Singles — Sinner the Man to Beat in the Final Four

The final four are set: defending champion Jannik Sinner, seven-time champion Novak Djokovic, Roland Garros winner Alexander Zverev and British wild card Arthur Fery. With two-time champion Carlos Alcaraz absent (the wrist injury that also ended his French Open defence), Sinner has been the man to beat throughout and stays a short title favourite heading into today’s semi-finals.

Player	Title Odds (indic.)	Notes
Jannik Sinner	~$1.30	Defending champion; still the man to beat
Alexander Zverev	~$4.50	Roland Garros champion, 12-match Slam streak
Novak Djokovic	~$6	Seven-time champion; through a five-hour QF epic
Arthur Fery	~$26	British wild card; the fairytale into the last four

Prices are indicative pre-tournament and will firm closer to the 29 June start — always check the live market.

Women’s Singles — An All-Czech Final

The women’s draw delivered a stunner: an all-Czech final, the first in Wimbledon history. Karolína Muchová beat Coco Gauff 6-2, 1-6, 7-6(10-9) and Linda Nosková saw off Marta Kostyuk 6-4, 6-4 to reach Saturday’s final, both chasing a maiden Grand Slam. The top of the market was swept away earlier — world No.1 Aryna Sabalenka, defending champion Iga Swiatek and 2022 winner Elena Rybakina all fell before the last four, and Naomi Osaka’s run ended in the quarters. Whoever lifts the trophy will be the first Czech Wimbledon champion since Petra Kvitová in 2014.

Finalist	Title Odds (indic.)	Notes
Karolína Muchová	~$1.85	Beat Gauff in an epic SF; slight favourite
Linda Nosková	~$1.95	Beat Kostyuk in straights; maiden Slam final

The Australian Contingent — 13 at the All England Club

A 13-strong Australian contingent contested SW19, but all are now out. Alex de Minaur, seeded 5th, went furthest — beaten in the fourth round by Flavio Cobolli 7-5, 7-6(4), 6-3, agonisingly short of a first Wimbledon quarter-final. He was joined in the men’s singles by Alexei Popyrin, Thanasi Kokkinakis, James Duckworth, Aleksandar Vukic, Adam Walton and Rinky Hijikata.

On the women’s side, Maya Joint is the highest-ranked Australian, leading a five-strong group alongside Daria Kasatkina, Kimberly Birrell, Ajla Tomljanovic and Talia Gibson. The draw has handed Joint the tie of the first round — a blockbuster opener against Serena Williams, back at a Grand Slam on a wild card for the first time since 2022.

Australian Players to Watch

Alex de Minaur (No.5 seed) — Australia’s clear No.1 and the each-way anchor. Lightning court coverage and one of the best returns in the game; he has yet to go beyond the fourth round at the All England Club, but the Alcaraz-free bottom half is the opening he has been waiting for. Opens against Argentina’s Román Burruchaga.

Alexei Popyrin — a genuine grass-court weapon when his serve fires, though the draw was unkind: a first-round meeting with No.13 seed Jiří Lehečka.

Thanasi Kokkinakis — a huge serve makes him dangerous on a fast court, but he landed the toughest Aussie opener of all against No.10 seed Alexander Bublik.

Maya Joint — the highest-ranked Australian woman and very much on the rise, handed the tie of the first round against the returning Serena Williams.

Daria Kasatkina — now competing under the Australian flag, a former world top-10 player and the most credentialled of the Aussie women on grass.

The Australian angle: with de Minaur and the rest of the contingent now out, there is no live Australian singles bet left this year — the story of the fortnight was de Minaur’s narrow fourth-round loss to Cobolli.
