When Alcaraz is serving, it’s basically just hope and pray time for the 6-foot-11 Opelka. It’s unlikely that he’ll create many break opportunities without the World No. 2 imploding, so he’ll need to make the most of any looks he gets.

Sabalenka is currently +285 to repeat as champion, second only to Iga Swiatek at +240. Sinner, meanwhile is favored to repeat at +110, slightly ahead of rival Carlos Alcaraz at +175. With some of those odds in mind, let's take a look at some of the best betting options to consider in both the men's and women's tournaments this year in New York.

Both women’s and men’s tennis feature two names at the top of the sport that are a cut above the rest in the betting odds. As the U.S. Open starts on Monday, Jannik Sinner is favored ahead of Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Świątek is favored ahead of Aryna Sabalenka.
