Fonseca is now the fifth favourite for the Wimbledon title according to bookmakers

The list of favorites for the Wimbledon title at bookmakers is headed by Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic and Taylor Fritz. The next name on the list? João Fonseca. Yes, the Brazilian, who will take to the court this Friday in search of a place in the round of 16, completes the top 5 of the most likely to lift the trophy of the grass court slam.

At the moment, a Fonseca title is paying, on average, 46 to one - that is, anyone who bets one real will receive R$46 back if the Rio native wins. The 18-year-old is ahead of people like Alex De Minaur (#11 in the world), Ben Shelton (#10), Jakub Mensik (#17), Andrey Rublev (#14) and Tommy Paul (#13) - names far ahead of the Brazilian in the world rankings.

If Alcaraz wins his third title, the bookmakers are paying about 2 to one. Sinner (2.5 to one) is right behind, followed by Djokovic (6.5) and Fritz (20). Britain's Jack Draper was also ahead of João, but was eliminated by Croatian Marin Cilic on Thursday.
