It is difficult to perceive which tennis player could be the fourth in contention in terms of favoritism to obtain the title in Wimbledon 2024. If you finally play Novak Djokovicthe Serbian will complete the trio of great candidates for glory in London, with Jannik Sinnery Carlos Alcaraz to the head. But who would be the fourth favorite?
The moment of truth has arrived and it seems impossible not to build pipe dreams about what this may have in store for us. Wimbledon 2024. Although it is true that these previous days are marked by uncertainty about the participation or not of Novak Djokovicthe fact that the Serbian has moved to London and is training there makes optimism skyrocket and we have to consider the most likely scenario that the Serbian will be in the game.
When it comes to distributing favoritism quotas, it is undeniable that both Jannik Sinner as Carlos Alcaraz They must occupy the head positions. The Italian arrives full of confidence after his great performance in Halle and shows enormous voracity to continue expanding his record after the painful defeat against Carlitos in Paris. For his part, the Murcian is the current champion, he adapts perfectly to the conditions of this event and will fight to sign a double that would be historic, with the titles at Roland Garros and Wimbledon.
No matter how upset Nole may arrive at the London event, if his name appears in the table he has to be considered one of the three top favorites for the title, but the panorama opens up a lot to interpretations from there. And the particular ecosystem that lawn tennis results in greatly reduces the aspirations of Alexander Zverev, Daniil Medvedev, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Andrey Rublevcompletely dynamiting the ones it may have Casper Ruud in the other big events.

Such is the case of Hubert Hurkaczconsidered by many as the fourth great favorite for the title in Wimbledon 2024. We can also include in a list of candidates Álex de Minaur, Grigor Dimitrov, Taylor Fritz or Tommy Paul. It deserves a separate mention Matteo Berrettiniwho despite not starting as seeded, is considered a candidate for everything due to his great harmony with the grass and the fact of having already played in a final at the All England Lawn Tennis Club.
Outside of them, there are players who perform very well on this surface, but who do not convey the feeling of being able to aspire to the title, but rather to become giant-killers on time. Such is the case of tennis players like Jack Draper, Alexander Bublk, Lorenzo Musetti, Sebastian Korda, Ugo Humbert, Ben Shelton or even, Holger Runewhich is still far from the level of maturity and progression that was assumed for this year.
