Wimbledon 2022 began this week with some major upsets on the men’s bracket. Felix Auger-Aliassime was the highest seed to fall in the first round when the No. 6 was eliminated by Maxime Cressy and No. 3 seed Casper Ruud joined him on the sidelines when Ugo Humbert won their second-round clash.
These stunning results make the championship seem even more wide open for the taking than it did before it began a few days ago. Here’s a look at how the bracket stands going into July:
Wimbledon 2022 Men’s Bracket
The absence of Roger Federer—an eight-time winner at the All England Club—whose most recent appearance in a major tournament came at Wimbledon in 2019, helped open the door for unheralded players to make a deep run. Federer is one of just four players to have won this event over the last 20 years.
Novak Djokovic is the reigning champion and the odds-on favorite to defend his title at the 2022 Wimbledon Championships. Djokovic has won each of the last three tourneys held at the All England Club dating back to 2018. While the 35-year-old dropped a set in the opening round, he bounced back to defeat Thanasi Kokkinakis in straight sets on Wednesday, setting up a third-round showdown with fellow Serb Miomir Kecmanović on Friday.
Andy Murray is the most recent player not named Federer or Djokovic to claim a Wimbledon title, but the English star’s 2016 victory marked his last major championship. Murray hasn’t advanced beyond the quarterfinals of a major in a half decade and won’t snap that poor stretch of play this year after his second-round loss to John Isner.
Rafael Nadal is the only other player to lift the Wimbledon trophy over the last two decades. The two-time champion hasn’t reached the finals since 2011 but the Spaniard could make a return as one of the heavy favorites in this year’s event. Rafa took care of business in the first two rounds and will now meet with Lorenzo Sonego during Saturday’s third round.
With that in mind, here’s a look at the Wimbledon odds courtesy of FanDuel for each of the top competitors remaining in the field:
