The Wimbledon doubles 2024 is now in full flow. With the men’s doubles, mixed doubles, and women’s doubles underway, now seems the right time to cover these events. As for what’s coming up today, I’ll be discussing the main contenders and odds and sharing my thoughts on who could win Wimbledon 2024.
And remember, while the singles events tend to steal the headlines, you can still watch these exciting doubles competitions via Wimbledon live streaming wherever you might be! So, with these minor points now clarified, let’s move forward with this full breakdown.
Men’s event – Wimbledon doubles 2024
Contents
Let me kick things off by taking you through the men’s doubles event for Wimbledon 2024. This tournament involves some big names, especially from a British perspective. And with the action unfolding as we speak, there’s no time to waste!
Top contenders
Concerning top contenders in the doubles event, this corresponds directly to the top seeds. Of course, this is true for all events at Wimbledon and other tournaments alike. So, to get right to it, the top five contenders for the men’s doubles event are as follows:
- Granollers/Zeballos – Seed 1
- Bopanna/Ebden – Seed 2
- Ram/Salisbury – Seed 3
- Arevalo/Pavic – Seed 4
- Gonzalez/Roger-Vasselin – Seed 6
Please note that the 5th seeds are absent from this list of the top contenders. That’s because the Italian duo of Bolelli/Vavassori lost in the first round, meaning the 6th seeds are now part of the ‘top five’ contenders group. Additionally, between these five pairings, five of the players could potentially finish the tournament as the world number one.
That’s obviously an even greater motivation to strive for the Wimbledon doubles 2024 title!
Dark horses
If I had to select some dark horses for the tournament, this means I need to look beyond the top five favourites. That said, I’m drawn toward the 7th seeds as possible dark horses for the tournament. This duo is Koolhof/Mektic. And while they’ve never won Wimbledon together, they’ve both won the title before!
Therefore, you can get some pretty solid Wimbledon odds on these guys to win the title since they’re not technically favourites.
Odds and predictions
When it comes to outright odds for the Wimbledon doubles 2024 title, the most enticing price goes to Koolhof/Mektic. This is due to the reasons mentioned above. But while these guys do have an outside chance, I’d probably go with Granollers/Zeballos – the top seeds. I know this isn’t the most exciting prediction, but it’s the most realistic since they were the runners-up last year!
Women’s event – Wimbledon doubles 2024
As exciting as the men’s doubles event is this year, there’s plenty to be pumped about for the women’s doubles event, too. At the time of writing, the first rounds have been played and completed, meaning things are heating up nicely. As for the specifics of the Wimbledon doubles 2024 event for the women, let me share the details.
Top contenders
Just like my breakdown of the men’s doubles event, I’d like to point out the top seeds who are left in the tournament. Automatically, these players go down as top contenders due to their ranking, and here is the list:
- Su-Wei/Mertens – Seed 1
- Dabrowski/Routliffe – Seed 2
- Melichar-Martinez/Perez – Seed 3
- Siniakova/Townsend – Seed 4
- Errani/Paolini – Seed 5
Since none of the top seeds have lost in the tournament yet, the top five contenders are a mirror image of the top five seeds. However, on the doubles court, this can all change in a flash.
Dark horses
Looking outside of the main contenders for the women’s doubles event, the American pair of Gauff/Pegula stand out for me.
These two have enjoyed major success on the doubles court in the past, even if they are mainly singles players. Their games complement one another perfectly for doubles play, too. And as the 11th seeds, they certainly have an outside shot.
Odds and predictions
As you’ve seen above, Su-Wei forms part of the top-seeded partnership in the women’s doubles this year. She’s actually the defending champion, although she’s playing with Mertens this year instead of Strycova. That said, Su-Wei/Mertens have won Wimbledon together in the past (2021), and I favour them to do so again in 2024.
Mixed event – Wimbledon doubles 2024
The final event I promised to cover this year is the mixed doubles tournament. While the draw is smaller for the mixed event, the action is just as exciting as it is for the men’s and women’s doubles tournaments. So, let’s jump right into the details.
Top contenders
At the time of writing, the Wimbledon doubles 2024 event for the mixed has yet to start. Therefore, the top five seeds are all left in, and the pairings are as follows:
- Ebden/Perez – Seed 1
- Venus/Routliffe – Seed 2
- Pavic/Kichenok – Seed 3
- Krajicek/Siegemund – Seed 4
- Vavassori/Errani – Seed 5
From this list, Pavic/Kichenok are the defending champions, yet they are seeded 3rd this year.
Dark horses
Once again, if we look outside the main contenders group, there are several promising pairs. The most likely ‘dark horse’ duo for me, however, is Skupski/Krawczyk. Both are Grand Slam champions and as the 6th seed, they are floating under the radar right now.
Odds and predictions
At the end of the day, only one pair can win the Wimbledon doubles 2024 mixed event. Several of the names mentioned earlier could realistically win the title this year. But if I had to choose one pair, I’d have to do with the defending champions – Pavic/Kichenok.
