The 2015 US Open is fast approaching the pointy end of the tournament, with a number of usual suspects and somewhat surprise packets remaining in contention across both the Men’s and Women’s draws.
World Number 1 Novak Djokovic has dominated the Men’s side of the 2015 US Open tournament, while Serena Williams remains on track to post the first season Grand Slam since Steffi Graf completed the feat in 1988.
We’re offering the best odds on all remaining matches at the 2015 US Open!
Novak Djokovic has found exceptional touch through the last 24 months of tennis, and entered the 2015 US Open having won both the Australian Open and Wimbledon, and placed second to Stan Wawrinka in the French Open.
Djokovic barely raised a sweat in breezing past his first three opponents in straight sets, but was somewhat tested by Spaniard Roberto Bautista Agut in the fourth round; dropping the second set but recovering to win in four.
Having drawn Feliciano Lopez in the quarterfinals, who took advantage of a tired Fabio Fognini following his defeat of Rafael Nadal in the third round, Djokovic remains clear favourite to progress to the final four, and $1.67 favourite to win the tournament over the weekend.
Grand Slam mainstays Roger Federer and Stan Wawrinka both remain in contention, however South African Kevin Anderson has already produced one of his best efforts to date at Flushing Meadows and represents exceptional value for money at $34 to win the US Open.
Anderson received something of a cushy run through the first few rounds of the 2015 US Open, and was not expected to put up much of a fight against renowned Brit Andy Murray.
Having taken the first two sets before losing the third in a tie-break, the South African rallied in the fourth to force a tie-break and produced arguably a career-best effort to starve Murray of a single point; walking away a four set victor and securing passage to his first ever Grand Slam quarterfinal.
Anderson is charged with overcoming Wawrinka in the quarterfinals on Thursday but has proven himself against the best and is worth consideration to win the match at $2.25 in head-to-head markets.
The 2015 US Open Women’s draw has produced a number of typically interesting results leading into the final days of competition, while a number of key individuals also remain in contention.
Serena Williams has barely been troubled on her way to a quarterfinal showdown with sister Venus, and has only firmed in outright betting markets to a quote of $1.50.
Key rival Victoria Azarenka remains in the hunt for 2015 US Open glory, however the form and results mustered by Petra Kvitova through the competition arguably makes her Serena’s biggest threat.
A two-time Wimbledon champion, Kvitova is yet to drop a set at the 2015 US Open and should have no issues dealing with Italy’s Flavia Pennetta to book her place in the final four.
