Wimbledon 2024 is set to begin tomorrow and there is already a lot of hype for the grass-court Grand Slam event which is about to come up. This has been a great tournament to look forward to and we all will be looking forward to this great tournament which has given us some legendary moments in the past. This will be another tournament that will give us some amazing moments.

The first round of the tournament will have some big players in the mix and we all will want to witness the performances of these top players in the setup, who have already given us great moments in the World of Sports. This tournament already has some tough draws in the mix and it will be interesting to see which players will be the favourites to win these epic encounters which will be coming up.

The predictions and the odds

This is going to be one of the biggest tournaments of the season and we will be looking at some of the big matches that are going to take place tomorrow. We all know that some of the top-ranked players will be featured in the tournament and will be looking forward to starting their Grass Court Grand Slam glory aspirations. Let us take a look at what could be the story of these big games going forward.

Sumit Nagal vs Miomir Kecmanovic

Sumit Nagal +800
Miomir Kecmanovic -1429

Looking at the odds of this match it can easily be seen that Miomir Kecmanovic is the higher-ranked player and seems to be the favorite to win this first-round match. Though we all know that Sumit Nagal is one of the upcoming talents in Indian tennis, but will be playing in the main draw of Wimbledon for the first time. There is no doubt that Miomir will most likely be victorious in this match, but there is a chance we might get to see an iconic performance from India's number-one player that can surprise everyone.

Jannik Sinner vs Yannick Hanfmann

Jannik Sinner -10000
Yannick Sinner +2000

Jannik Sinner is the current World's Number 1 player and is comfortably one of the favourites to win the tournament. Though we all know that Yannick Hanfmann cannot be taken lightly and can give a surprise to the Italian, there is no surprise that Sinner is the favourite in this contest with the odds in his favour. This will still be a match to look forward to knowing the experience of the German in the professional scene as well.

Ekaterina Alexandrova vs Emma Raducanu

Ekaterina Alexandrova  +105
Emma Raducanu -135

This will be one of the iconic matches in the WTA where we will see Ekaterina Alexandrova pitted against former US Open champion Emma Raducanu. Though Alexandrova is the highest-seeded player on the cards, the Britisher is still the favourite to win the first-round encounter. This is going to be a tough match to predict and Alexandrova might be ahead on some level, but an in-form Raducanu will most likely be victorious on the day.

Victoria Azarenka vs Slaone Stephens

Victoria Azarenka -300
Sloane Stephens +225

This is perhaps one of the toughest matches to look forward to as both these players are at their peak. Though Sloane Stephens might have fallen off the rankings, there is no doubt that she is a former World number 3 and a 2017 US Open winner. However, she will be up against Victoria Azarenka who might not be in the form of her life but will still be a favourite and will most likely win against an out-of-form Stephens in the first round itself. Overall these matches will be the ones to look forward to which will begin the Wimbledon season.
