Bet of the day: Djokovic v Wawrinka US Open final to go the distance

However, in the seven times they have met in a best of five sets tie – either in Grand Slams or Davis Cup – they have astonishingly gone the distance on five occasions. For the other two, they went to four sets while Wawrinka pulled out the time before.

That suggests that the pair are set to go all the way once more as they both aim to add another Grand Slam title to their trophy cabinet.

Wawrinka, who has a 100 per cent record from his two major finals and beat Djokovic to take the 2015 French Open crown, has even been taken to five sets this tournament already – by Britain’s own Dan Evans.

Meanwhile, superstar Serb and defending champion Djokovic has dropped a set to lesser opposition Jerzy Janowicz and Gael Monfils this US Open.

So, what are you waiting for punters? Take these terrific odds of 5/2 for Djokovic and Wawrinka to go to five sets in this Flushing Meadows final encounter.
