World No. 1 Jannik Sinner enters the US Open with a chip on his shoulder, and rightfully so, as the Italian is considered the favorite to win this year’s title.

Close behind is Carlos Alcaraz, who remains in the spotlight after becoming the first player since Novak Djokovic to notch 50 wins in four consecutive seasons.

On the women’s side, the outlook remains steady, with Iga Swiatek and Aryna Sabalenka aiming to continue their dominant form.

But it's Venus Williams who continues to defy the odds, earning a wild-card invitation as she reinvents herself once again in a remarkable comeback, undeterred by age.

Here are the latest 2025 US Open odds at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.

How to bet on US Open odds

Tennis betting is most commonly done with moneyline odds for a match. Each player is assigned a moneyline price and bettors can wager on which one they think will win. Sportsbooks also offer futures odds for each tournament, where you can bet on which player will win that specific tournament. 

Tennis futures odds usually look like this:

  • Player A +600

This means that on a $100 bet, you'll stand to win $600 if Player A wins the tournament. If it's close to the end of a tournament or one player has been particularly dominant, you might see someone with a minus sign (-) ahead of their odds:

  • Player B -120

This means that you would need to wager $120 to win $100 on Player B winning the tournament.
