With a few of these odds in thoughts, let’s check out a few of the greatest betting choices to think about in each the lads’s and girls’s tournaments this yr in New York.
High US Open males’s bets
Title the Finalists: Jannik Sinner vs. Carlos Alcaraz (-110) — The chances aren’t precisely juicy right here, however that is as a result of Sinner vs. Alcaraz in a Grand Slam ultimate has turn out to be one thing of a formality. There are some issues surrounding Sinner after he withdrew from his Cincinnati Open ultimate towards Alcaraz, citing sickness. However there’s been sufficient time for Sinner, a high-level athlete with the absolute best assets at his disposal, to recuperate. Alcaraz is as dynamic as Sinner, and it might be fairly surprising for both man to return up in need of making the finals.
third Quarter Winner: Novak Djokovic (+140) — Djokovic is definitely on the draw back of his profession, however he is nonetheless extraordinarily good and persistently aggressive exterior of when he has to face the likes of Sinner and Alcaraz. The subsequent probably man to win Djokovic’s quarter is Taylor Fritz at +330, with Holger Rune at +700 behind them. Djokovic holds a 10-0 head-to-head file towards Fritz, together with three wins at Grand Slam occasions. Djokovic can be 4-2 head-to-head with Rune, together with successful their three most up-to-date conferences. We’re liking yet one more run to the semifinals for Djokovic.
Winner: Carlos Alcaraz (+175) — Ignoring the Cincinnati Open scenario for Sinner completely, we nonetheless like Alcaraz right here. The pair have met seven instances since 2024, with Alcaraz holding a 6-1 file in these matches. That features three onerous court docket wins (Sinner’s lone win was on grass at this yr’s Wimbledon). Sinner is the favourite to win the match at +110, however we’re driving with historical past and up to date head-to-head outcomes to get the higher odds on Alcaraz.
High US Open ladies’s bets
Winner: Mirra Andreeva (+1100) — We have to combine in no less than one choose at longer odds, and Andreeva suits the invoice. Andreeva has a really delicate path to the semifinals, with nobody in her quarter who ought to be capable of push her till doubtlessly Jessica Pegula within the quarterfinals. Pegula tends to get in her personal method, nonetheless, which is why she is +400 to win the quarter to +300 for Andreeva regardless of being the upper seed. As soon as issues get to the semifinals, Andreeva must play nice tennis, however she’s able to doing so and is price a small play at +1100.
4th Quarter Winner: Iga Swiatek (-165) — Swiatek is the favourite to win the whole match at +240, as such, it makes loads of sense to get a very good worth on her to easily attain the semifinals. Amanda Anisimova is the hardest problem in Swiatek’s quarter of the bracket, and nearly as good as Anisimova is when enjoying her greatest recreation, it is unattainable to erase the picture of Swiatek completely thrashing her within the Wimbledon finals. Swiatek hasn’t all the time been at her greatest on onerous courts however issues are arrange properly for her to win her quarter, if not the whole match.
“Large Three vs. The Discipline” (-185) — The “Large Three” on this guess at DraftKings are Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff. These are the three favorites to win the match and in addition the three most up-to-date ladies to win the US Open. Getting all three bundled collectively at higher than -200 is an absolute steal. Bundling this guess with an extended shot like Andreeva looks like the proper path to success.
