Novak Djokovic<\/strong> was in prime form to retain his Wimbledon title in his last outing. He was downright imperious at the All England Club to win the event for the seventh time, moving only one crown behind Roger Federer\u2019s record of eight, while surpassing the Swiss in the overall rankings with his 21st title. Djokovic has the chance to move level with Rafael Nadal on 22 titles at Flushing Meadows, where he will look to avenge his defeat in the final last season to Daniil Medvedev. The Serb has been playing outstanding tennis and will be a tough obstacle to overcome. You will not find great value for his US Open betting tennis odds, though, with the best price at 11\/8 <\/strong>– but, given his record, it is a sound wager.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n \n \n

Medvedev is the reigning champion,<\/strong> and will return to action after he was prevented from playing at Wimbledon by the All England Club due to Russia-Ukraine conflict. He will be hungry to make an impact at the US Open and should be fit and raring to go. The Russian is an excellent player on hard courts, and came extremely close to adding a second crown at the Australian Open, only to lose out to Nadal in a thriller. Medvedev\u2019s odds of 9\/4<\/strong> are compelling, especially given the way he dismantled Djokovic in the tournament last year.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n \n \n

Alcaraz<\/strong> is a very intriguing talent in the men\u2019s game. He underwhelmed at Wimbledon, losing in the round of 16 at the hands of Jannik Sinner. However, he has certainly displayed a propensity to perform at a high level after reaching the quarter-finals of the US Open last year and the last eight of the French Open. The Spaniard has two titles on the ATP Tour this term at the Miami Open and Madrid Open, proving that he has the composure under pressure. Flushing Meadows could be a breakout event for the 19-year-old.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n \n \n

Nadal\u2019s<\/strong> quest for the calendar slam ended through injury at Wimbledon as he was forced to withdraw with an abdominal tear. The Spaniard had to dig deep to defeat Taylor Fritz after sustaining the injury, and had the heart of a champion to see off the American even though it cost him his place in the semi-finals. His injury could loom large at Flushing Meadows where he has not competed since winning the US Open in 2019. Having said all this, we think it is perhaps best to avoid Nadal as a betting prospect <\/strong>in this competition, given his fitness woes.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n \n \n

The improvement of Nick Kyrgios<\/strong> was there for all to see at Wimbledon as he produced a brilliant run to reach the final before losing out to Djokovic. He still has his issues with maturity, but a recent win on the ATP Tour at the Citi Open was more than promising. Kyrgios looks a decent shout at odds of 8\/1<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n \n \n

Out of the rest of the men\u2019s draw, Felix Auger-Aliassime impressed in 2021<\/strong> with a run to the semi-finals before losing to Medvedev. Although the Canadian\u2019s form has cooled in 2022, he has a good price at 25\/1<\/strong> to make a run for his first Grand Slam. Matteo Berrettini <\/strong>is also a solid option given his impressive record, although he has struggled with injuries and was also forced to miss Wimbledon after contracting Covid-19. His form has been patchy since his return, but he is an outstanding player and his odds of 25\/1 are great value.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n US Open 2022 Predictions – Women\n <\/h3>\n \n\n\n

The women\u2019s draw stands to be the tournament's namesake – an open affair, as Raducanu<\/strong> proved in her rise to the top in 2021. The Brit came through the qualifiers and stormed her way to her first Grand Slam, the first victory by a qualifier in the history of the US Open. Raducanu has not been as fortunate in her events since, reaching only the second round of each Grand Slam this season, but she could flip the switch and at odds of 25\/1<\/strong>, there is still value to be had, although not quite the 500\/1 found in 2021.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n - \n
