For Wimbledon 2017
Surprisingly Murray starts favorite. Nadal one of the four with an above 10% chance to win.

Andy Murray 3.5
Roger Federer 4.0
Novak Djokovic 5.5
Rafael Nadal 6.5

To me, this looks more reasonable than the bookies one posted by arahim.

LOL @ Djokovic as a favorite! Do they mean a favorite to lose by the SF? He's not ready to win Wimbledon. He's nowhere close to being back in form yet.

Roger is the favorite followed by Murray and Nadal. It will depend on the draw.
Kyrgios, Zverev, Raonic, Cilic, Querrey can all knock out Big Four members but I don't think they will go on and win the tournament.

remember bookies post odds on how they think people will bet (or have
been betting), not necessarily on the players they think have the best
chance to win.

That adds to over a 120% with only six players accounted for.

After Murray's defeat at Queens the gap between him and Federer (who also last his first match last week) narrowed. Nadal overtook Djokovic.

Andy Murray 3.8
Roger Federer 4.0
Rafael Nadal 6.0
Novak Djokovic 6.5

it adds up to about 100.5%. make kyrgios 10 and it's under 100 again.

After the win at Halle Federer extends his lead. Nadal closing in on Murray. This week will be another point in Djokovic's attempt to shake whatever happened to him.

Roger Federer 3.25
Andy Murray 4.5
Rafael Nadal 5.0
Novak Djokovic 6.5
