The 2014 Wimbledon Championships is underway, and the returning champions for both the men and women are considered among the favorites to win the title this year.

After becoming the first Brit to win the tournament in 77 years, Andy Murray has a good chance to repeat in 2014. Only Novak Djokovic has better odds to take home the title.

Two years after winning her fifth Wimbledon title, Serena Williams is the favorite on the women’s side. The 2013 champion, Marion Bartoli, isn’t competing, following her retirement.

Draw

If Djokovic and Rafael Nadal are going to meet again, it won’t be until the finals. Djokovic and Murray have been placed in the same half of the bracket, while Nadal and Roger Federer are the two top players in the other half. Murray and Djokovic met in the finals last year, and the two will face off in the semifinals, if neither is upset along the way.

As the favorite, Serena Williams does not have an easy draw. A match with Maria Sharapova would come as early as the quarterfinals, and she could face Simona Halep in the semifinals. Li Na and Agnieszka Radwanksa are favored to me in the finals in the other half of the bracket.
