U.S. Open tennis betting odds: Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Swiatek on top

Wimbledon saw Carlos Alcaraz conquer Novak Djokovic to capture his first Grand Slam title on grass and now the 20-year-old phenom is favored to repeat as U.S. Open champion.

As for the women’s side, Iga Swiatek is favored once again and will look to have a much stronger outing after her disappointing exit at Wimbledon.

Here’s the latest look at the odds to win the 2023 U.S. Open at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, held from August 28 to September 10.

7/23/2023: Odds for the 2023 U.S. Open are as close as the Wimbledon final was, with Carlos Alcaraz (+150) and Novak Djokovic (+175) neck-and-neck atop the odds boards. Behind those two behemoths are Jannik Sinner, Rafael Nadal, and Daniil Medvedev who all come in at +1,400 — much longer than Alcaraz and Djoker.

2/15/2023: Novak Djokovic opens yet another Grand Slam as the favorite, sitting at +140 to the pace the pack. Second to him is Daniil Medvedev at +300, and Carlos Alcaraz comes in at +350 to reclaim his US Open title.

7/23/2023: Even after falling early at Wimbledon, Iga Swiatek (+225) is still favored to capture the Grand Slam in New York for the second year in a row. Following close behind Swiatek is Aryna Sabalenka, who fell in three sets to Ons Jabeur in the Wimbledon semifinal. In third place is the 24-year-old Elena Rybakina (+600) who is in search of her second career Grand Slam title and first at Flushing Meadows.

2/15/2023: Standing at the top of the board is Iga Swiatek who comes in at +250 to repeat as US Open champion. Aryna Sabalenka is a little behind at +700, and both Caroline Garcia and Elena Rybakina stand with +900 odds.

Here are the US Open singles champions for the last 10 years, with Djokovic and Nadal (unsurprisingly) dominating the tournament with a combined six of the past 10 men’s titles. On the women’s side, there has been a different champion in five of the last six tournaments, and this year is shaping up to again have a new champion come the final Saturday.

Tennis betting is most commonly done with moneyline odds for a match. Each player is assigned a moneyline price and bettors can wager on which one they think will win. Sportsbooks also offer futures odds for each tournament, where you can bet on which player will win that specific tournament.

Tennis futures odds usually look like this:

This means that on a $100 bet, you’ll stand to win $600 if Player A wins the tournament. If it’s close to the end of a tournament or one player has been particularly dominant, you might see someone with a minus sign (-) ahead of their odds:

This means that you would need to wager $120 to win $100 on Player B winning the tournament.
