US Open Odds

The US Open tennis tournament is held at Flushing Meadows, New York City, and is the fourth and final Grand Slam on the tennis calendar.

US Open history 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. In 2010 it was the turn of Rafael Nadal to win his first US Open title, defeating Novak Djokovic in the final.

US Open 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 interest concerns Kim Clijsters, as the Belgain has won the last two successive renewals. Interestingly, only one American has won in the last eight years.
