Coming off his first French Open title, top seed Novak Djokovic is a solid favorite to win the championship at Wimbledon for the third year in a row, as the third Grand Slam tennis tournament gets underway Monday at the All England Club in London.

Djokovic is listed as -150 chalk (bet $150 to win $100) at sportsbooks monitored by Odds Shark, while the man he beat each of the last two years could meet him in the semifinals.

Seven-time Wimbledon champion Roger Federer is the +1200 third choice (bet $100 to $1,200) behind Djokovic and No. 2 seed Andy Murray (+350), who won the tourney in 2013.

Federer has battled Djokovic in a pair of classic title matches that went five and four sets in 2014 and 2015, respectively. Before that, Murray upset Djokovic in straight sets three years ago, after he fell to Federer in four sets back in 2012.

On the ladies’ side, top seed Venus Williams will try again for her first Grand Slam title in 2016 after coming up short in both the Australian Open and French Open finals. Williams is the defending champion and a six-time winner at Wimbledon, so it’s no surprise to see her as the +150 favorite on the tennis betting lines over the two women she lost to earlier this year.

Second-seeded Garbine Muguruza upset Williams as the No. 4 seed at the French Open and is listed as the +550 second choice. Fourth-seeded Angelique Kerber defeated her in the Australian Open as the No. 7 seed and...
