Men’s Outright Betting Picks:
Novak Djokovic @5/4
Novak Djokovic’s reign has been characterized by sheer dominance. At the Cincinnati tournament, he exhibited his unparalleled prowess by triumphing in every match with straight sets with the exception of the final, which required three sets to secure victory against Carlos Alcaraz. Among his notable conquests were renowned opponents whom he defeated: Taylor Fritz (6-0, 6-4), Gael Monfils (6-3, 6-2), and Alex Zverev (7-6, 7-5). The 5/4 possibility for Novak Djokovic is perceived as a valuable indicator, highlighting his exceptional command on the court.
Jannik Sinner @12/1
Jannik Sinner’s exceptional year continues to unfold, marked by his triumphant performance in securing two titles, one of which was the prestigious Canadian Masters earlier this month. During this tournament, his exceptional skill was evident as he dropped just a single set against the formidable Gael Monfils. Noteworthy victories included his wins over Matteo Berrettini (6-4, 6-3), Gael Monfils (6-4, 4-6, 6-3), Paul (6-4, 6-4), and Adam De Minaur (6-4, 6-1), all of which culminated in his well-deserved championship win.
Sinner’s dominance extended beyond the Canadian Masters, with his prowess on hard courts shining brightly this year. He clinched victory in Montpellier and further solidified his reputation by reaching the semifinals at Indian Wells, narrowly losing to Carlos Alcaraz. The Italian prodigy’s impressive journey also led him to the final showdown in Miami, where he encountered a challenging match against Daniil Medvedev. Although he emerged as the runner-up, Sinner’s consistent and remarkable performances have undeniably positioned him as a rising star in the tennis world.
Women’s Outright Picks:
Iga Swiatek @12/5
Last year’s Women’s US Open witnessed a disappointing performance from the top seeds, as four out of the top seven players were eliminated in the early rounds. Iga Swiatek emerged victorious by defeating Ons Jabeur with a score of 6-2, 7-6 (5), securing her third major title and her second of the season.
Heading into this year’s US Open, Swiatek holds the position of a strong contender. However, her dominance from the previous year seems to have diminished. Notably, she fell short of the Wimbledon semifinals this year, exiting in the quarterfinals to Svitolina. Additionally, recent defeats to Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula in the semi-finals of the last two Masters events have raised questions.
It’s worth recalling that a similar slump in form was witnessed last year. Following Wimbledon, Swiatek suffered losses in the quarterfinals to Caroline Garcia, followed by a defeat to Beatrice Haddad Maia in the Round of 16. Yet, she rebounded to assert her dominance at the US Open, clinching victory with remarkable ease. We expect the same push this year.
Jessica Pegula @17/2
Pegula is offering an appealing opportunity with odds at 17/2. Her season has been notably strong, boasting a 43-14 record and showcasing positive Grand Slam performances, including two quarter-final showings at the Australian Open and Wimbledon.
The highlight of Pegula’s year came when she secured her inaugural Masters title in Montreal. Her path to victory was not without challenges, as she triumphed over formidable opponents such as Coco Gauff and Iga Swiatek to seize the title. Pegula’s affinity for hard court conditions is evident, a sentiment reinforced by her performance last year, where she engaged in a closely contested two-set battle against Iga Swiatek in the quarter-finals.
