US Open Betting Odds
The
US Open, held at Flushing Meadows, New York City, is the 4th and final Grand Slam on the tennis calendar.
The tournament dates back to 1881,
when the mens singles was first contested in the U.S. National Championship. It was later re-named to the
US Open and since 1978 has been held on hard outdoor courts. Prize money currently stands at $21,600,000 and is unique in that final set tie-breaks are used, whereas the other 3 majors continue until a match is won by 2 clear games.
US Open betting in the mens tournament has been revolving around Roger Federer in recent years. The Swiss won 5 consecutive championships from 2004-2008, making him the equal all-time record holder for Open Era titles (level with Jimmy Connors and Pete Sampras). Federer's record run was broken in the 2009 final by Juan Martin Del Potro, who won his first major by winning the final 3-6, 7-6, 4-6, 7-6, 6-2.
US Open betting odds for the womens singles are generally more wide open as no-one has retained the title since Venus Williams in 2001. A lot of the
US Open betting interest for 2010 concerns the Belgain pair Justine Henin and Kim Clijsters; both have come out of retirement and after winning 4 of the last 7 renewals between them, they will present formidable foe. Clijsters marked her return to women's tennis by winning the
US Open in 2009, defeating Caroline Wozniacki 7-5, 6-3 in the final.
