Played on grass at London’s All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, in London, this year’s Wimbledon tournament is the 139th time it has taken place (and the 132nd time the ladies’ singles has been played).

Meanwhile Iga Swiatek beat Amanda Anisimova in the women’s singles final to become the first Polish Wimbledon singles champion in the open era.

Here are the 10 players the bookies reckon have the best chance of winning the men’s and women’s singles titles.
