Bet on the men’s singles event at the 2015 US Open tournament with great odds at Bet365 Sportsbook!
The 135th edition of the US open is just about to go underway. World No. 1 Novak Djokovic is the obvious favorite of the tournament, as many of those, who bet on sports in the US might know. Though he won more Grand Slam finals this year than the titles he collected in Flushing Meadows throughout his career so far, now it is time for him to get his second US open title according to pundits and internet betting sites. His outright success is available with online betting odds of 2.10 (11/10) at Bet365 Sportsbook.
In the last Grand Slam final the Serb faced Roger Federer in a remarkable final at Wimbledon. The 34-year-old Swiss player won his last US Open in 2008. That victory marked a five-year-long unbeaten run in Flushing Meadows. The current world No. 2 has won his last major title to date in 2012. However, looking at his form many fans expect him to reach the final in New York. He is third favorite to win the title with online betting odds of 5.00 (4/1) at Bet365, and is available at 5.50 (9/2) to finish as runner-up. Federer’s odds for being eliminated in the semifinal are 4.50 (7/2), seems also a good bet.
Backing Murray to finish as runner-up would be beneficial
Andy Murray triumphed in New York in 2012. That was his first ever Grand Slam win. Now he is second favorite to win the tournament according to Bet365
Sportsbook. The famous internet betting site offers his outright win with betting odds of 4.50 (7/2). At Wimbledon this year he was eliminated in the semi-final by Federer. The Scot repeating that result in Flushing Meadows is priced at 4.33 (10/3). Him finishing as runner-up looks tempting at 6.00 (5/1). However, to reach the final, he should have to overcome both of the Swiss stars, Federer and 2015 Roland Garros winner Stan Wawrinka.
Wawrinka is fourth favorite to add a third Grand Slam title to his tally at odds of 15.00 (14/1) at Bet365. Looking at the draw, he is expected to meet Murray in the quarterfinals and if overcame the Scot, Federer in the semifinal. His quarterfinal exit is available at 3.00 (2/1), while his elimination in the semis is priced at 6.50 (11/2). Since his path to the final is anything but easy, he is considered almost as an outsider to reach the final. Him losing in the final goes for 10.00 (9/1) at Bet365.
