betting offers and free bets: The 7 best sign up deals and specials on tennis at Flushing Meadows
THE final tennis major of the year - the US Open - is underway!
The world's best players descend on Flushing Meadows for two weeks of top class action.
But that field WON'T include Novak Djokovic who revealed he wouldn't be travelling to the US.
The Serb star is unable to travel to New York due to being unvaccinated.
In the women's draw, world number one Iga Swiatek is the clear favourite for victory at the end of the fortnight.
But all eyes - while she's in the tournament at least - are on Serena Williams as she competes in her final tournament before bowing out of the sport.
British hope Emma Raducanu is looking to defend her crown after stunning the tennis world last year with that unbelievable win.
She's around a 14/1 shot for glory here with Swiatek leading the way at 7/2 - ahead of joint-second favourites Naomi Osaka and Simona Halep at 8/1.
Over on the men's side, Daniil Medvedev is the 7/4 favourite to lift the trophy.
He himself has had his issues competing in majors this year and missed Wimbledon due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Rafa Nadal has moved into the second favourite spot at 4/1 having already won two Slams this year, while compatriot Carlos Alcaraz is 9/2.
Again, a British win is unlikely in the betting, with Cam Norrie and Andy Murray at 25/1 and 66/1, respectively.
Ahead of the tournament getting underway, we've put together the best betting offers for the fortnight below.
