Roger Federer is a 10-3 shot to win Wimbledon for the ninth time after the Swiss legend strolled to a tenth success in Halle's Noventi Open on Sunday.

The 37-year-old defeated David Goffin 7-6 6-1 to regain the title in Germany and only 6-4 chance Novak Djokovic is ahead of Federer in the men's market for the grass Grand Slam, which starts on July 1.

Rafael Nadal is 11-2 to win at the All England Club with Alexander Zverev and Stefanos Tsitsipas no bigger than 18-1.

Andy Murray marked his return to competitive tennis by lifting the doubles title at Queen's Club alongside Feliciano Lopez, who had earlier enjoyed singles glory at the Kensington venue.

The dynamic duo delighted the crowd as they won a third-set champions tiebreak to take the title at the expense of Rajeev Ram and Joe Salisbury.

Murray will play men's doubles with Pierre-Hugues Herbert at Wimbledon - the Frenchman has won the career Slam in the discipline - and the Brit is also on the lookout for a mixed partner.

Ashleigh Barty confirmed last week that she will not join Murray on court but the French Open queen picked up more silverware with victory at the WTA Nature Valley Classic in Birmingham.

Barty's victory had bookmakers running for cover and she is now 6-1 joint-favourite with Serena Williams for Wimbledon, although most firms make the in-form Aussie the outright favourite.
