US Open Tennis Betting

About the US Open

The championship originated with just the men's event at the turn of the century, but since then has a more traditional look and now consists of five major events that are the men's and women's singles and doubles while there is also a mixed doubles competition.

This year prize money stands at a staggering $18.5 million in which the men's single winner gets $1.2 million.

Being the final Grand Slam of the tennis season there is always a bit of form to go on but just like horse racing one of the most important things to note is the surface. Like the year's first Grand Slam (Australian Open) the US Open is played on a hard court and therefore players can perform very differently on this rather than either grass (Wimbledon) or clay (French).
