Wimbledon 2022 is in full swing, with some of tennis' greatest players taking to the grass of SW19 bidding to win the most prestigious Grand Slam title of them all.

When do the stars start their campaigns at the All England Club? What's the best way to watch them compete? Here are the details ahead of Wimbledon 2022.

When is Wimbledon 2022?

The main draw for Wimbledon, which will become a 14-day competition for the first time in 2022, started on June 27.

The middle Sunday of the competition, which has always been designated as a rest day to work on the condition of the courts, will now host play because planners are confident that the quality of the surfaces will not be affected by the move.

Here's how the schedule for the men's and women's single competitions looks at Wimbledon 2022.

29-30 June Second round
1-2 July Third round
3-4 July Fourth round
5-6 July Quarterfinals
7 July Women's semifinals

Wimbledon betting odds

With world number one Daniil Medvedev absent because of Wimbledon's ban on Russian players this year and world number two Alexander Zverev injured, Novak Djokovic is in an even stronger position than usual to win the title.

The 20-time Grand Slam winner has won the last three editions of Wimbledon, so it is little surprise to see bookmakers consider him the odds-on favourite ahead of Matteo Berrettini, who took the first set off Djokovic before losing to him in four sets in the 2021 final. Berrettini was then forced to withdraw from the tournament after testing positive for COVID-19.

Rafael Nadal, who can remain on course for the Calendar Grand Slam with victory, is second favourite but has had familiar issues with a foot injury this month.

Spanish sensation Carlos Alcaraz won the Madrid Open and the Miami Open this year. The 19-year-old reached the second round on his Wimbledon debut in 2021 and is being touted by some as a successor to Nadal, having risen to world number seven.

In the women's draw, Iga Swiatek is on a 36-match unbeaten run, winning her last six tournaments to become the obvious favourite and, at 21, the youngest top seed at Wimbledon for 11 years.

American prodigy Coco Gauff is three years younger than Swiatek and won only four games against her in the French Open final, which partly explains why the fourth favourite, behind Wimbledon 2021 quarter-finalist Ons Jabeur and two-time champion Petra Kvitova, is considerably longer odds.
