Defending Champ Alcaraz Picked to Win in London
2024 Cinch Championships Odds
Carlos Alcaraz is the +110 favorite with 2024 Cinch Championships odds in London this week.
The Spaniard is the defending champion, and he comes off a win at the French Open, so he’s the clear front runner.
Looking to cause an upset are Alex de Minaur and Grigor Dimitrov, who have produced good tennis results recently.

- There is no doubt that Alcaraz is the future of tennis, having already won three grand slam titles at the age of 21.
The Spaniard won the French Open with a five-set thriller over Alex Zverev, and the only worry is fatigue. However, he’s professional, and he should prove tough to beat at the Queen’s Club Championships.
“Winning a Grand Slam is always special, but here in Roland Garros, knowing all the Spanish players who have won here, to put my name on that list is unbelievable,” Alcaraz said.
“I dreamt to be in this position since I started playing tennis and I was five or six years old.”
He won this tournament last year when beating de Minaur in the final. That came before he won Wimbledon, so he loves playing on grass courts, and we think it’s his best surface.
Having just signed a new deal with Nike, his financial future is set, and he can focus on winning tournaments.
The $200 million deal is sure to have his tail wagging, but it’s reflected by his ATP rankings. He’s one of the best in the world, and tennis is a big sport financially.
- There is enough value with his +110 2024 Cinch Championships odds to enjoy. He’s the best player in the tournament, and he should at least make the final without much fuss.
Can de Minaur Go One Better?
The Australian was beaten by Alcaraz in the final last year, but he is always a winning threat.
The 25-year-old from Sydney comes off a win at Hertogenbosch when beating Sebastian Korda in the final, and although it wasn’t a tough tournament, it should see his confidence levels rise.
“It achieves a new career high for me, so that’s always a great little bonus and (my) first week on grass couldn’t have gone any better, so I’m looking forward to next week in Queen’s,” de Minaur said.
He showed good fight at Roland Garros when beating Daniil Medvedev in the third round before losing to Zverev in straight sets.
Getting past the best players in the world has been a problem for de Minaur, but there is only one world-class player in the field.
He only needs to get past Alcaraz to win consecutive ATP Tour titles, and the +700 odds suggest he’ll test Alcaraz late in the tournament.
- He’s got a good chance to make the final, and he won’t be paying +700 if he goes that deep.
Don’t Forget About Dimitrov
Grigor Dimitrov is one of the more inconsistent players on the ATP Tour, but he always presents bettors with a winning hope.
The experienced 33-year-old isn’t done winning at the top level, and he has the power to beat many players.
He defeated Hubert Hurkacz in the fourth round at Roland Garros before losing to 2024 Australian Open champion Jannik Sinner in the quarterfinals.
Being able to go deep in grand slam tournaments holds him in good stead, and getting +1100 with 2024 Cinch Championships odds is too good to overlook.
He’s the third seed in the tournament, and he should at least make the semifinals without too much trouble.
We’re prepared to include him in our tennis predictions at the generous tennis odds.
We’re Hoping Rune Doesn’t Ruin Tickets
Holger Rune is one of the brightest young players on the ATP Tour, and we’re backing him until he wins.
The 21-year-old from Denmark showed improvement at the French Open, which should give him confidence.
Some of his best results have come in 2024, and although he has shown a level of immaturity throughout his career, that’s forgiven as a youngster.
- There has been money for him at +1200, which is a fair price.
He’s one of the more naturally talented players, and if he finds his mental game, he’ll win many tournaments.
2024 could be a defining year for Rune, and we’re backing him to succeed. He should enjoy not having the likes of Sinner, Novak Djokovic, and the Russians in this tournament, so he could capitalize.
