US Open Underdogs to Keep An Eye On That Could Surprise
US Open Women’s Singles
Top Underdog: Marketa Vondrousova +1925
Vondrousova beat Ons Jabeur to win Wimbledon but in her next, Marketa couldn’t get by Coco Gauff, which is why although Vondrousova is a major winner, she’s going off at higher odds than Coco.
Marketa had every right to bounce after the stunning display of tennis at Wimbledon. The odds make Vondrousova an overlay to win back-to-back major titles. Also, the women’s side is deeper than the men’s. So Vondrousova’s odds should be closer to Gauff’s than the high number.
Second Underdog Pick: Coco Gauff +1225
In late July and early August, Coco beat Maria Sakkari at the Mubadala DC Citi Open Finals. Gauff then played to the quarterfinals at the Omnium National Bank where she fell to Jessica Pegula.
Coco is playing some of the best tennis of her career. Check out how she plays at the Western & Southern Open. If she plays well, she might be worth a bet before dropping dollars on Vondrousova.
High Payout Underdog: Beatriz Haddad Maia +3000
Haddad Maia was rolling along at Wimbledon until a fourth round matchup against Elena Rybakina. Something must have gone amiss because Haddad Maia had to retire.
At the Omnium National Bank, Haddad Maia beat Magdalena Frech in the first round, but then lost to Leylah Fernandez in the second. Beatriz isn’t playing her best, which is why the odds are 30-to-1.
If Maia can get it together before the start of the U.S. Open, though, she’ll have a chance. It’s a big if, but at 30-to-1 odds, we’re willing to take a chance.

US Open Men’s Singles
Top Underdog: Alexander Zverev +1925
Zverev made it all the way to the French Open Semifinals. He suffered a slight injury in a loss to Casper Ruud. Since then, Zverev has played okay, but not great.
Still, Alexander is one of the few men’s players who can win the U.S. Open outside of Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz. When Alexander is on, he can beat the best in the world.
We should expect Zverev to put forth an excellent effort. If Alexander is on his game, he can pull off the upset victory.
Second Underdog Pick: Casper Ruud +1750
Ruud has the talent to win the US Open. But his odds are lower than Zverev’s and the two players are on the same level.
So if you like Ruud to upset Djokovic and Alvaraz, it makes sense to put the +1925 choice on top. But if you think Ruud is a better play than Zverev, go for it.
High Payout Underdog: Taylor Fritz +3100
Fritz has played well in 2 of the last 3 tournaments he’s entered. Taylor won the Atlanta Open and then lost in the semifinals at the Mubadala Citi DC Open.
Fritz couldn’t get by Alex De Minaur in the third round at the Omnium National Bank. Taylor has never gone past the third round at the US Open. So Fritz must do something out of the ordinary. However, he’s in good enough form to warrant a look and the odds are fantastic. At +3100, Taylor Fritz is the best underdog play on the board.
