US Open tournament tips: Nadal stage of elimination odds and more

As the top two seeds in the men’s singles draw, it is expected that defending US Open champion Novak Djokovic and two-time Wimbledon winner Andy Murray will meet in this Grand Slam final.

Two of the three tennis Majors this season have come down to this duo, and based on that you could be forgiven for thinking it happening again would be odds-on. But there’s real value in 11/10 odds for Djokovic and Murray to play in the Flushing Meadows final again, having done so back in 2012 when the Briton earned his maiden Slam.

Serbia star Djokovic disappointed on the grass courts of Wimbledon and also failed to make an impact at the Olympics, but this hard surface underfoot in the USA brings out the best in him.

All three top seeds make women’s singles semis

If it’s a bigger price you’re after, then a fantastic 14/1 price says all of the top three female seeds will reach the semi-finals.

Joining WTA world number one Serena Williams are Australian Open champ Angelqiue Kerber and French Open winner Garbine Muguruza, and all three ladies need to make the semis for this bet to come off.

Given how the trio have each won one of the other Grand Slams on offer this season, this might be the best of our US Open tournament tips to take.

Tournament outright double: Murray and Serena

One sure-fire way to squeeze extra value out of the fantastic fortnight at Flushing Meadows is to do a men’s and women’s singles outright double.

If betting separately, a patriotic punt on Murray (7/4) and backing Serena (5/4) to win her home Slam only give modest returns, but if combined you can win more than £5 off a £1 stake at current pre-tournament odds for the US Open.

Williams is a six-time singles winner at Flushing Meadows, while Murray has taken full advantage of Djokovic’s recent slump and add a fourth Grand Slam title to his collection.
