Wimbledon is the most prestigious Grand Slam and one of the most popular betting events in the summer calendar for Irish punters. This guide covers the outright winner markets, key match betting approaches and what to know before backing at Wimbledon 2027.
Wimbledon 2027: The Championships
The Championships, Wimbledon take place over two weeks in late June and early July at the All England Club in London. The draw features 128 players in the men's singles, 128 in the women's singles, and double and mixed double draws. The final is played on the penultimate and final Sunday of the fortnight.
Main Wimbledon Betting Markets
- Outright winner (men's singles): The headline market. Grass court specialists and high-ranking players with previous Wimbledon form dominate the market.
- Outright winner (women's singles): The women's draw has produced more varied winners in recent years — value exists further down the market.
- Individual match betting: Set winner markets (back a player to win a set), game handicap betting, and match winner across all rounds.
- To reach each round: Which players will reach the third round, quarter-finals, semi-finals and final — available as individual proposition markets.
Grass Court Considerations
Wimbledon's grass surface rewards big servers and aggressive net players. Players with high first-serve percentages and strong serve-and-volley tendencies have historically outperformed their hard-court rankings at the All England Club. Assess grass-court form from Queen's Club and Halle the week before Wimbledon as the most recent relevant surface indicator.

Wimbledon 2027 is expected to start in late June 2027. The Championships typically begin on the last Monday of June, running for two weeks with the men's final on the third Sunday and the ladies' final the day before. Exact dates will be confirmed by the All England Club.
Yes — Wimbledon outright winner markets open months before the tournament, typically around the Australian Open in January. The best prices are available before the grass court season begins in June. Post-first-round prices on surviving favourites may still offer value if a key rival is eliminated early.
Ireland does not currently have top-100-ranked ATP or WTA players at the highest level. However, upcoming Irish talent may feature in qualifying and early rounds. Check the official ATP and WTA rankings closer to 2027 for any Irish representation.
Grass courts reward strong servers disproportionately compared to hard and clay courts. Upsets against top players are more common in early rounds because a single great serving performance can carry a lower-ranked player through. Big servers who struggle on other surfaces sometimes become dangerous Wimbledon contenders.
