US Open Tennis Betting Markets & Odds
New York hosts the last Grand Slam of the tennis season, and it rarely provides a quiet ending to the year’s four major tournaments.
Matches at Flushing Meadows can stretch well into the evening, often in front of one of the loudest crowds in tennis. The hard courts give big servers an opportunity to take control, although players still need the movement and stamina to cope with long rallies and demanding five-set matches.
The latest US Open betting odds are available on this page. Outright markets cover both singles champions, with more options added for individual matches as the tournament approaches.
When Is the 2026 US Open?
The 2026 US Open takes place from Sunday 23 August until Sunday 13 September at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.
The first week includes qualifying and Fan Week, while the main singles draw gets underway on Sunday 30 August. Play then continues for a fortnight, ending with the women’s final on Saturday 12 September and the men’s final the following day.
Arthur Ashe Stadium stages most of the headline matches. Louis Armstrong Stadium and the Grandstand also feature prominently across the three-week schedule.
US Open Favourites 2026
Jannik Sinner currently occupies first place in the men’s US Open winner odds. Aryna Sabalenka is the shortest-priced player in the women’s market as she prepares to defend her title once again.
The following prices were available on 22 July 2026. They may move as the tournament gets closer, particularly after the leading players compete in Canada and Cincinnati.
Men’s US Open Favourites
Jannik Sinner heads the men’s market at 4/6. The Italian won at Flushing Meadows in 2024 before losing last year’s final to Carlos Alcaraz, and another Wimbledon title has strengthened his position as the player to beat.
Alcaraz is 11/5, although there is more uncertainty surrounding the defending champion. A wrist injury has kept him off the court since April and forced him to miss both the French Open and Wimbledon. His planned return in Cincinnati should tell us much more about his condition before the US Open begins.
Alexander Zverev comes next at 8/1 following his French Open victory and run to the Wimbledon final. Novak Djokovic is priced at 12/1 as he goes in search of a fifth title in New York.
Women’s US Open Favourites
Aryna Sabalenka is the 5/2 favourite to claim a third straight title at Flushing Meadows.
The closest challenger in the current women’s US Open odds is Coco Gauff at 7/1. Gauff became champion in New York three years ago and remains one of the leading hard-court players on the WTA Tour.
Elena Rybakina and Iga Świątek are both priced at 8/1. Mirra Andreeva, who arrives as the reigning French Open champion, is available at 11/1.
Recent women’s Grand Slams have produced several different champions. Performances during the North American hard-court swing could therefore have a sizeable effect on the market before the opening round.
What Are the US Open Betting Markets?
The outright winner market receives plenty of attention, but it is far from the only way to bet on the US Open. Once the draw is released, markets are added for matches throughout the men’s and women’s competitions.
You can back either player to win a match or predict the exact score in sets. Handicap betting gives one player a head start in games or sets, while totals allow you to bet on how many will be played. Tie-break, ace and double-fault markets may also appear for selected fixtures.
Live US Open betting becomes available after play starts, with prices changing as the match unfolds. The range will not be identical for every fixture, although the later rounds and biggest matches usually offer more choice.
What Can Affect US Open Odds?
North American Hard-Court Form
The weeks before the US Open include major hard-court events in Canada and Cincinnati. They offer an early look at how the leading contenders are playing in conditions closer to those they will face in New York.
A deep run can bring a player into the US Open with confidence and plenty of match practice. It can also leave them with little time to rest, particularly if they go far at both tournaments.
The Tournament Draw
The draw can make two players with similar records look like very different outright prospects.
One contender might be placed alongside several former champions or dangerous lower seeds. Another could avoid their main rivals until the semi-finals or final. US Open odds often move once those possible routes through the tournament become known.
Injuries and Fitness
By late August, most players have already spent months travelling and competing across different surfaces.
Even a minor injury can become difficult to manage over two weeks of Grand Slam tennis. This is especially relevant in the men’s draw, where a player may need to complete seven best-of-five-set matches to win the title.
Conditions in New York
Hot days, humid evenings and a lively crowd all come with playing at Flushing Meadows.
A powerful serve is a valuable weapon on the hard courts, but it is not enough by itself. Players also need to return well, defend from the baseline and remain composed when matches become tight or the crowd gets involved.
Recent US Open Winners
Carlos Alcaraz won his second men’s title in New York in 2025. Aryna Sabalenka successfully defended the women’s championship, giving her consecutive US Open victories.
The competition dates back to 1881. It moved to the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center at Flushing Meadows in 1978, where it has remained ever since.
Jimmy Connors, Pete Sampras and Roger Federer each won five men’s singles titles during the Open era. Chris Evert and Serena Williams share the equivalent women’s record with six apiece.
