Last Updated: While Wimbledon is considered the most sought-after Slam title, the US Open is considered by some to be infinitely more exciting in terms of the venue and the incredible atmosphere created by a crowd that adulates each competing player.
The U.S. Open has traditionally been the most fiery of the Grand Slams, with crowds more vocal in support of their favorite players. Under the lights of the biggest tennis stadium in the world, the U.S. Open is the ground of showmanship and flair.

US Open Tennis Betting Tips
Tips for Betting on the US Open
Know a Player’s Favorite Surface | Knowing a player’s favorite court surface could be a make or break on your bets. There are few players that are true masters of hard court like Nadal is to clay, but knowing who’s stronger or weaker on hard court will help significantly.
Keep an Eye on the Men’s Favorites | In the men’s game, the favorites are usually the ones to make and win the final. Unlike the women’s game, which has been wide open for anyone to win, the men’s side is dominated by a handful of players for every generation of play.
See Who’s In Form on the Women’s Draw | The women’s side, as mentioned, tends to be a lot more open. Predicting a winner on the women’s side usually means seeing which players are in form following the warm-up tournaments that lead up to the U.S. Open.
Check the Australian Open | Your US Open betting strategy should be relatively similar to Australian Open betting. Both are played on hard court, so sometimes the Australian Open is a preview of who might have a strong showing in New York.
Showboats Show Out | The U.S. Open is the stage of the showmen. Unlike the French Open or Wimbledon where a degree of reserve is expected to be shown, the U.S. Open embraces characters and boisterous crowds. Players that embrace and feed on the crowds tend to go far.

Popular US Open Tennis Betting Markets
Futures Betting | One of the most popular markets for the U.S. Open is futures betting. Simply put: who do you think is going to win their quarter of the draw, or the entire tournament.
Spread Betting | Betting the spread in tennis is based on the number of games won by a player. One can also bet on number of sets won by a player, but betting on number of games is more common.
Moneyline Betting | The simplest individual match bet is a simple moneyline bet. Moneyline bets are simply who do you think will win. Odds are longer and shorter for moneyline bets than everything else.
Over/Under Betting | Over/Under bets in tennis are based on total number of games played in a match. A men’s over/under will almost always be significantly higher than a women’s over/under because the men play best 3 of 5 sets, while the women play best 2 of 3.
Tiebreaks | The U.S. Open’s structure allows for a handful of more tiebreaks than some other tournaments. Recent moves by other Grand Slams are following the structure of fifth set tiebreaks instead of endless games, but the U.S. Open did it first and has a reputation for tiebreaks.
