For Novak Djokovic, the least return is in the men’s singles – Serena Williams is the favourite in the women’s singles.
Novak Djokovic’s brilliant comeback in recent weeks has also had an impact on the betting market. After his Wimbledon victory and the “Golden Masters” victory with his first tournament triumph in Cincinnati, the Djoker is the bookmakers’ top tip for a victory in Flushing Meadows. “Only” 3.2 times the stake is available for a tournament success of the Serbian in New York at the betting provider Interwetten.
Follow it: Defending champions Rafael Nadal (4), Roger Federer (5.5) and with some distance Alexander Zverev (10), Juan Martin del Potro (12.5), Marin Cilic (16) and Andy Murray (21). Behind it: Stan Wawrinka (26), Nick Kyrgios and Miloas Raonic (27). Kevin Anderson, last in Wimbledon in the final and last year in New York, is only listed at 33.
The women’s event is more open – no wonder: there were seven different winners in the last seven Grand Slam tournaments! The most likely tip in such cases is often “Serena Williams” – as here: For a triumph of the 23-time major winner, it returns 5.75 times the stake.
Coming after: Simona Halep (6.75), Angelique Kerber (7.75), titleholder Sloane Stephens (10), Petra Kvitova (13.25), Garbine Muguruza (14.25), Elina Svitolina (15), Madison Keys (16), Caroline Wozniacki (16.75), Karolina Pliskova (17).
