Serena Williams is making her return to Grand Slam singles tennis at Wimbledon, and sportsbooks are bracing for all the attention from bettors she could bring, even as they keep her as a relative long shot.
Aryna Sabalenka is the favorite to win the women's tournament at +350 with 2022 champion Elena Rybakina next at +550 and 2025 champion Iga Swiatek at +750, according to DraftKings Sportsbook odds Friday.
Williams, coming off nearly four years away from Grand Slam competition, checks in at 35-1, but her odds have fluctuated wildly since she announced her return. On Tuesday, she was 28-1, and by Thursday, she had lengthened out to 50-1 before shortening back down to her current level.
