2017 Wimbledon Betting Outlook: Men's Draw and Women's Draw Breakdown and Trends

Dramatic events in both men's and women's tennis make the 2017 Wimbledon tournament look very different to what we saw in 2016.

Twelve months ago, in the men's game Andy Murray claimed his second Wimbledon title, ending a run of four consecutive Grand Slams for Novak Djokovic, while it appeared the sun was setting on the careers of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.

Heading into this year's tournament, we are suddenly in the era of renaissance for Nadal and Federer, who have taken the French Open and Australian Open, respectively, and sit atop of the markets for this year's Wimbledon, according to AustralianGambling.com.au.

Murray, meanwhile, is in limbo, battling a hip injury having not made a Grand Slam final since his victory here last year and world No. 1 almost by default. Djokovic's decline has been even more remarkable, with the Serb having slipped from his lofty former position with early exits in Melbourne and Paris.

Federer is the $3.25 AUD favourite for the tournament, with Nadal at $5.50, Murray on $6 and Djokovic $7. Remarkably, the top five men's players in the world at the moment are all over 30, something that has never happened before.

Marin Cilic is next in both seeding and in tournament betting at $17, while last year's runner-up, Canadian Milos Raonic, is $19.

The two younger players given the best chance of causing an upset are Alex Zverev, the 20-year-old German, who is $26, and Australia's Nick Kyrgios, who is $34 to win his first Grand Slam tournament.

Zverev finds himself in a tough part of the draw with Federer, Raonic and Grigor Dimitrov all in his quarter, while Kyrgios' quarter contains Murray and beaten French Open finalist Stan Wawrinka, who is also $34.

Should Federer claim an eighth title, he would become the most successful male player ever at the All England club, surpassing Pete Sampras and William Renshaw. He would also be the oldest man ever to win it.

The women's game has also undergone massive upheaval in the past 12 months. It's been 11 years since seven-time champion Serena Williams has missed this tournament, but her much publicised pregnancy sees her sidelined, while her sister, Venus, a five-time champion, has been caught up in an investigation surrounding a fatal car crash.

Venus, who is $15, will play with a cloud over her preparation for the tournament.

The $6 favourite is Petra Kvitova, the 2011 and 2014 champion who spent five months on the sidelines after being attacked in her home in the Czech Republic.

Kvitova received significant cuts to her hand during the attack and only came back to the tour ahead of the French Open. She told a press conference ahead of the tournament that her hand is still not 100 percent, but the 27-year-old turned a major corner with a tournament victory at Birmingham last week.

Punters see her primary rival for the tournament to be world No.3 Karolina Pliskova, who is $6.50 despite having never made it past the second round at Wimbledon.

In an incredibly open market, Garbine Muguruza, runner-up here two years ago, shares the third line of betting with hometown hero Johanna Konta, who like compatriot Murray goes into the tournament under a significant injury cloud, in her case a spinal problem.

World No. 1 Angelique Kerber, who lost the final to Serena here last year, is at $17, the same price as French Open winner Jelena Ostapenko, who impressed everyone with her unseeded run to the title in Paris.
