The 2026 US Open odds are shifting, and Iga Swiatek is making a major move up the board.

Swiatek has surged into the No. 2 spot in the US Open betting market after beating Elena Rybakina in straight sets to win the National Bank Open in Montreal. 

Meanwhile, Aryna Sabalenka remains the betting favorite as she looks to capture her third consecutive US Open crown, but Swiatek's Montreal triumph has moved her firmly into the position of Sabalenka's biggest challenger.

Although Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz have both withdrawn from the Cincinnati Open, they remain among the favorites for the men's title in Flushing Meadows.

Here are the latest US Open tennis odds, with New York's USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center set to host from Aug 23 to Sept. 13.
