2008 US OPEN
TENNIS ODDS - ANALYSIS - PREDICTIONS
The US Open will take place this September and will
present bettors with plenty of betting opportunities. The Open began
in 1881 and is the oldest tennis tournament in the world. It also
holds the highest attendance of any annual sporting event. The Open
is also the last event in the Grand Slam sequence. Whether your in
love with Andy Roddick like many of the girls I know, or impressed
by the massive skill possessed by Roger Federer, tennis is a great
sport to wager on. It offers fair odds, along with many dark horse
players. As a matter of fact, tennis betting is popular among many
professional bettors. The Oddsmakers are apparently much further off
with their tennis odds than the other major betting sports. Lets
take a look at some of the best wagers on the Men's US Open.
Roger Federer (6-5)- This guy is the Michael Jordan of
his sport. He has been ranked #1 in the world for a record 232
consecutive weeks. That’s over 4 year! He has won over $41,000,000
in total prize money. He has won the US Open four times, and reached
the finals a record 10 consecutive times from 2005 to 2007. If
anyone is going to take this event, they are going to have to pry it
from Federer hands. This is his tournament to lose.
Andy Roddick (20-1)- This guy was the #1 player in the
world back in 2003. That seems like a long time ago, but at 25
Roddick still has a lot of skill. His lone win in the US Open came
when he was on the top of the mountain back in 2003. He has the
fastest recorded serve at 155 MPH, breaking his own speed record
three times. That is simply amazing. If Roddick can pull one out of
the hat, you will be making a nice profit at 20-1.
Rafael Nadal (2-1)- Hailing from Spain, Nadal has won
5 Grand Slam Singles titles. He has been the #2 player for quite a
while. Nadal is well known for his rivalry with Federer. He has
denied him a Grand Slam by winning the French Open in 2005-2008. He
hasn’t traditionally been successful at the US Open only making it
to the quarter finals. I don’t like Nadal’s chances at 2-1, but he
certainly has the ability to get the job done.
Novak Djokovic (3-1)- This Serbian player reached the
finals of the US Open in 2007. He is currently ranked third in the
world. He won his first Grand Slam title in January of 2008 in the
Australian Open. He beat Federer in the process. He is a young
player on the rise, and he is more than capable of winning this
thing. I like his chances at 3-1, but he is going to have to go
through Federer yet again.
I have a question for all of you out there. What is better than
watching brilliant players like Roger Federer, and Rafeal Nadal
square off on the tennis court? The answer is simple. Watching
beautiful women like Ana Ivanovic and Maria Sharapova give their all
for their sport. I’ve got another question for you. What is the
difference between Venus and Serena Williams? Only about $40,932.
These girls are both brilliant players with career earnings just
over $20,000,000. These girls are playing for big money, which is
what you will be winning if you can figure out who will take this
years US Open! Let’s take a look at the top contenders.
Maria Sharapova (5-2)- This Russian phenomenon is a
former World #1, and is currently ranked #3. She is coached by her
father and former player Michael Joyce. She defeated Serena Williams
when she was just 17 years old to take the Wimbledon title. She has
won the Australian Open this year, and won the US Open in 2006. She
has been ranked in the top 10 longer than any other player. She is
only getting better, and should be tough to take down in this years
event.
Ana Ivanovo (13-4)- This Serbian player is currently the #1
player in the world. She recently won her first Grand Slam singles
title, taking the French Open. She was the runner up in the 2008
Australian Open. She is one of the most talented players in the
game, and offers fair odds. I couldn’t tell you not to bet this
girl, she should be one of the top finishers.
Venus Williams (9-2)- She was the winner of the US
Open in 2000, and again in 2001. She is currently ranked #7 in the
world, but is a former #1. She also won the Olympic gold medal in
2000. Her recent success has been sparse, but she did capture the
2008 Wimbledon. I could see Venus winning this event for the third
time, but I will look elsewhere.
Jelena Jankovic (10-1)- I really love the odds on this
chick, as she is currently ranked #2 in the world. She has reached
the semifinals of several events, but has yet to take down a singles
title. She is gradually improving and is my choice to win this
event. She is due for a breakthrough tournament and offers the most
rewarding odds. Give her a shot.
I think I will end up doing a parlay wager for both the Men’s and
Women’s US Open. For the Men’s Open I will take Roger Federer, and
for the Women’s Open I am going to stick with Jelena Jankovic.
