Three of four Grand Slams have now been contested with the last of the four, the US Open, scheduled for August 29 to September 11. The 142nd edition of one of the oldest tennis tournaments in the world could, barring injuries, have one of the deepest fields this season in both the men’s and women’s draws.
For instance, world No. 1 Daniil Medvedev will be allowed to play in New York after he was unable to compete at Wimbledon due to the All England Club banning Russian and Belarusian players. Serena Williams is expected to headline the women’s draw, but the 23-time Grand Slam winner isn’t even among the top 10 US Open Betting favorites.

Jannik Sinner’s Stock Rising
Now seventh in terms of shortest betting odds to win the US Open, Jannik Sinner is a player whose stock you should absolutely buy. The 20-year-old Italian has already won multiple ATP Tour tournaments and is coming off of a victory at the Croatia Open, where he defeated Carlos Alcaraz 6-7, 6-1, 6-1.
Before that, Sinner reached the quarter-finals of Wimbledon and actually took the opening two sets against Djokovic before ultimately losing in five sets. His victory over Alcaraz, however, shows he is learning from his past failures.
Sinner is 35-9 this year and was ranked No. 10 in the world as of August 8, but should rise up the rankings in advance of the US Open.
Djokovic Still Unlikely to Play
Djokovic was unable to play in the Australian Open – we all remember that fiasco which ultimately resulted in his deportation – and it appears as though he won’t be able to play in the US Open, either. The 21-time Grand Slam winner and 2022 Wimbledon champion still hasn’t gotten vaccinated against COVID-19 and doesn’t plan on it, even though he may miss out on becoming the all-time leader in Grand Slam titles because of it.
The USTA is adhering to federal government guidelines, which states that foreign travelers must be vaccinated to enter the US. Djokovic, who is training with intent to play and is actually the betting favorite, likely won’t play unless government policy changes.
Emma Raducanu Hoping to Get Back on Track in Familiar Territory
Emma Raducanu was a breakthrough star at last year’s US Open, winning the Grand Slam in a memorable finals match against Canadian Leylah Fernandez. It hasn’t gone so well for the Brit since, however, as she has won only 9 of 21 matches this season.
The 19-year-old is hoping a return to the hard court will help propel her back to stardom. She won her opening match in the Round of 32 at the Citi Open in relatively easy fashion (6-4, 6-2) against American Louisa Chirico.
Raducanu is 12th among betting favorites at +2200.
