WATCH ⬆️: Draper's and Alcaraz's enticing odds to win at the All England Club. (Presented by BetMGM.)

Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz have won each of the last two majors, and we should probably get used to seeing those two claiming the biggest events of the year. Sure, Novak Djokovic might be capable of winning some more before all is said and done, but Sinner and Alcaraz are the best players in the world now, and both have the ability to play well on all surfaces. That’s why they’re atop the odds board when it comes to Wimbledon odds.

Alcaraz is the defending Wimbledon champion, and he’ll be a force to be reckoned with at the All England Club again. Meanwhile, Sinner has been impressive on grass in his young career, but he has lost to Djokovic in back-to-back years. Luckily for the Italian, he won’t have to worry about that happening again, as Djokovic is set to miss Wimbledon as he recovers from a torn meniscus.

With all of that in mind, it feels like we’re going to see one of the young studs adding another major trophy to his collection. But a good argument can be made that Wimbledon is the tournament with the most opportunity for others. Sinner and Alcaraz have the all-court ability to dominate in Melbourne, Paris and New York for years to come, but it’s possible that a big server and powerful baseliner can get hot in London. If you're looking to sprinkle the futures board, here are a few betting options to keep in mind.

Matteo Berrettini (14-1): Berrettini suffered an early exit in Halle, falling in a tight three-set match against Marcos Giron. But the Italian was coming off a final-round run in Stuttgart, where he earned wins over Roman Safiullin, Denis Shapovalov and Lorenzo Musetti before losing to Jack Draper in a close title match. Berrettini has looked incredibly comfortable on the grass, where he's always had success—he has the third-highest raw Elo rating on the surface overall. The only issue with Berrettini is that he has a penchant for getting hurt. But he’s healthy right now, and that makes him a threat at Wimbledon, where he made the final just three years ago. He's one of the best servers on tour and hammers shots from the forehand side. That makes him hard to beat on a quick surface.

Hubert Hurkacz (16-1): Hurkacz probably isn’t a player you think of when looking at future major champions, but there’s no denying that the Pole is one of the best servers on the planet. And that matters on grass, where Hurkacz’s winning percentage is higher than it is on anywhere else. Hurkacz also played a very high-level match against Djokovic in last year’s tournament, but he was unable to take advantage of tiebreakers. Still, Hurkacz is capable of getting to tiebreakers in pretty much any set he plays on this surface—and that means he’ll have a real shot at beating anyone.

Like his compatriot Sebastian Korda, Taylor Fritz has a game that is built for fast courts.

Taylor Fritz (28-1): Fritz’s career winning percentage on grass is lower than it is on clay or hard courts, but there’s really no reason the American can’t make a run at Wimbledon. Over the last 52 weeks, Fritz is holding at 87.1% on grass, and he can rack up holds with the best of them. But unlike most of the tour's other big servers, Fritz has the ability to win longer rallies. He can win quick, but he can also grind if needed. At some point in his career, that should result in a deep run in London.

Sebastian Korda (50-1): Korda lost to Alex de Minaur in the final at ‘s-Hertogenbosch, and he has also played some good tennis at Queen’s Club, with wins over Karen Khachanov and Grigor Dimitrov. The latter was a very impressive victory, as Dimitrov is a great grass-court player. So is Korda. He’s one of the best ball strikers on tour and also moves very well, both crucial qualities for grass-court success.
