As Novak Djokovic looks to defend his crown, our US Open odds and tennis betting preview break down the field, who to target, and who to avoid in Queens.
No. 1 seed Jannik Sinner and 2022 US Open champion Carlos Alcaraz may have a say in the matter, as they’ve combined to win the three other Slams this season.
Montreal champion Alexei Popyrin could be his third-round opponent, with a potential fourth-round rematch of last year’s semifinal against Frances Tiafoe or Ben Shelton. Joker would likely meet either Andrey Rublev or Jiri Lehecka in the quarters and a popcorn semifinal awaits against Alexander Zverev.
Reigning silver medalist and 2022 US Open champ Carlos Alcaraz is 13-3 on the asphalt with titles at Indian Wells along with an incredible European Double run that ended with a heartbreaking loss to Djokovic at the Paris Games. Medvedev is consistent from both wings with a solid return game and one of the best serves on tour. He does have a relatively routine run to the quarters, but he’ll need to beat Sinner to advance, and while Med did defeat him at Wimbledon, the Russian is only 1-5 head-to-head across their past six matches.
Rublev has had a successful 2024 hardcourt season, with 23 wins including a nice run to the Montreal Open finals. No. 17 Humbert got hot on the cement early with a pair of hard-court titles this season. He crumbled a bit after that and is coming off two heartbreaking third-set tiebreak losses at Montreal and Cincinnati.
