Who do our betting specialists suppose can be the wisest to wager on? Learn on to see what André Snellings and Brad Gilbert should say about issues.


Which of the boys’s matchups provides the perfect betting worth within the first spherical?

Snellings: One of the best betting matchup within the first spherical is Dominic Thiem +290 vs. Pablo Carreno Busta. Thiem has handled main accidents since he received the 2020 US Open and is not all the way in which again but from his most up-to-date comeback try. With that mentioned, he’s nonetheless a hazard to win a match or two on the solely main that he is ever received. As well as, he is 7-0 in his profession in opposition to No. 12 Carreno Busta. Carreno Busta is enjoying at the next stage, however Thiem’s upside provides him higher than a 1-in-3 probability to win this match.

Gilbert: With Novak Djokovic out, Daniil Medvedev is the favourite and No. 1 seed. He hasn’t performed in addition to he did the previous couple of summers, and that is the primary time he’s getting into a significant because the defending champion. Rafael Nadal is coming off an harm, so there will likely be extra alternative for guys like Carlos Alcaraz. There’s a bit little bit of uncertainty surrounding who will win this match, and that all the time makes for nice choices to wager on the fellows with longer odds.

What favourite (males’s or girls’s) has the perfect probability of profitable the US Open?

Snellings: Medvedev, the boys’s favourite, has the perfect probability of profitable the US Open. Medvedev has already proved that he can win in Flushing. He has additionally superior to at the very least the semifinals in every of the previous three occasions. Past that, there’s the truth that he has superior to the finals of the final two Australian Opens — the opposite laborious court docket occasion. Plus, with Novak Djokovic out of the draw, there are solely a restricted variety of gamers out there with the abilities to defeat Medvedev on laborious courts. Certain, Swiatek has been the perfect participant on the ladies’s tour this 12 months, however she does not have practically the identical monitor file of success in New York.

Gilbert: Iga Swiatek was enjoying unbelievable tennis by means of the French Open. Whereas I like her as a favourite this 12 months, I would recommend enjoying the sector or taking three or 4 lengthy pictures. Whereas there’s loads of uncertainty surrounding the boys’s match, there’s much more on the ladies’s facet. This may very well be an incredible alternative for Coco Gauff and even Simona Halep. Halep has an incredible draw within the first spherical and a great alternative to play the second seed.

How do you suppose Serena Williams performs in maybe her final US Open match earlier than retiring? Is she value putting a wager on?

Snellings: Serena (+5000) is a significant wild card, in that she has had virtually no success in singles competitors since her return from harm at Wimbledon. However, she nonetheless has the uncooked potential to win this occasion. Any end result, from a first-round defeat to a championship, is legitimately in play. I have never seen sufficient from her to wager on her to win right here — however I will not wager immediately in opposition to her, both.

Gilbert: Like I mentioned beforehand, count on the sudden this 12 months. If there is a prop wager with lengthy odds, perceive that they’ve lengthy odds for a purpose. Taking somebody like Serena Williams to make a run to the spherical of 16 or the quarterfinals may very well be a greater wager than taking them straight-up to win. I’d take a look at the sector exterior the highest 15 and unseeded gamers to make the semifinals.
