Reigning US Open and French Open champion Roger Federer is the favourite to win the 2009 Wimbledon men's title, followed closely by defending champion Rafael Nadal who is dealing with knee problems. Andy Murray would be considered third-favourite. On the women's side, the Williams sisters (defending champion Venus and US Open champion Serena) would be considered co-favourites.
