2023 U.S. Open Tennis Betting
Professional tennis is in one of the most exciting transformations in its history. On both the men’s and women’s sides, new superstars are emerging as many of the stars of the past are fading. A great example comes from the women’s side, where 22-year-old Iga Swiatek is ascending to be the dominant female player in the game. 19-year-old Coco Gauff of the United States is another up-and-comer on the women’s side. Meanwhile, on the men’s side, 20-year-old Carlos Alcaraz has taken over the top of the rankings. While Novak Djokovic, age 36, is still in the conversation, he is no longer considered a fait accompli in Grand Slam Events.
Sharp gamblers have seen this factor of emerging and fading stars coming over the past couple of years and have taken full advantage of the betting value left by the ignorant masses. However, squares are finally catching up as the secret is out.
Alcaraz was the winner of the 2023 Wimbledon Championship. But Djokovic won the 2023 Frech Open and the 2023 Australian Open. It was Alcaraz that defeated Djokovic at Wimbledon last July. Gamblers and fans are salivating for a rematch this year at the U.S. Open. Of course, Djokovic is best known for his 2021 loss at the U.S. Open to Daniil Medvedev. With that loss, Djokovic blew his rendezvous with history and the calendar-year Grand Slam.
Swiatek has recent Grand Slam wins at the 2023 Franch Open, 2022 U.S. Open, and 2022 French Open. While the glory years of Serena Williams are over, women’s tennis shines bright with Swiatek.
The 2023 U.S. Open offers gamblers a wide-open field of potential champions and plenty of uncertainty. Now that the casual sector is catching up to the sharps, the challenge of handicapping good value has never been greater.

The results at the U.S. Open have been all over the place in the last decade. Dominance isn't the norm here on the hard courts in Flushing the same way it has been at Wimbledon or the French Open. Hardcourt tennis wears down players since it’s a playing surface with no give, making injury and fatigue a much bigger factor. That’s one of the reasons we haven’t seen a repeat winner on the men’s side since Roger Federer won five straight U.S. Open titles from 2004 to 2008.

The official record for total U.S. Open victories is seven, belonging to William Larned, Richard Sears, and Bill Tilden. These three men were all winners of this tournament over a century ago when this was still an amateur event, though.
As far as the Open Era is concerned, the record for titles is five. Jimmy Connors was the first to win five, and fellow American Pete Sampras followed him. Roger Federer was the first to win five in a row, but he hasn’t won here since 2008.

The final Grand Slam event of the year could be the most exciting too. Last year, new Blood won this event as Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Swiatek reigned supreme at Flushing Meadows in the Big Apple. Alcaraz is seen as one of the most exciting young prospects in the sport, while Swiatek can finally say she has arrived after winning both the French Open and U.S. Open in 2022. It’s very likely that this isn’t the last title that either Alcaraz or Swiatek wins either, so it might be a while before an American wins either event again.
