Get ready for the grand finale of the 2024 tennis season - the US Open, live from Queens, New York City. Defending champion Novak Djokovic is on fire, fresh from his Olympic Gold medal win last month and the question is can anyone dethrone the Serbian? Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz will certainly be aiming to spoil his party.   

What about the women's draw? Coco Gauff is the reigning champion and she’ll be seeking to regain her form after some recent struggles. Stay tuned as we dive into the action, bringing you expert betting tips to help our online betting community make the most of the tournament.

**Jannik Sinner** 

The world No. 1 will certainly be one of the betting favorites at the US Open, and for good reason. He sent a strong message to fellow ATP competitors with his recent Masters 1000 win. Having had a relatively light schedule in 2024, with only Montreal and Cincinnati under his belt since Wimbledon, Sinner is now focused on New York. 

He will be hoping for more hard-court success, looking to go further than his best US Open result; a quarterfinal exit. Ahead of the tournament’s opener, the question remains, how will the controversy surrounding his two positive steroid tests, for which he was cleared of wrongdoing, impact him on the court? 

Will it fuel his focus or create distractions? As long as he’s at his best, backing Sinner to win his first US Open is a smart bet prediction, especially at such attractive odds.

**Novak Djokovic**

It's been almost a year since Novak Djokovic last lifted a Grand Slam, and what a moment it was - his 24th major championship win in New York last September. Until recently, Djokovic's 2024 seemed uneventful; no titles, no Top 10 wins.

But then came Paris and the 2024 Olympic Games. Djokovic defeated Alcaraz to claim the one achievement missing from his resume - a gold medal in singles. For Djokovic, this achievement stands out "It definitely stands out as the biggest sporting achievement I have had,” he said in Paris.   

He's now only the fifth player to complete the Golden Slam and the first in the Open era to claim every major title - Grand Slams, ATP Masters 1000s, Tour Finals, and Olympic gold. BetKing offers the best odds for Djokovic to defend his title in New York.

**Carlos Alcaraz**

The reigning Roland Garros and Wimbledon champion went agonisingly close to winning his first Olympic gold in Paris, but ultimately fell to Novak Djokovic in a thrilling final. However, the 2022 US Open champion rolls into Queens with lots of momentum, having already bagged two of the season's three major titles.  

Alcaraz is the hottest thing in Tennis and there’s no doubt he will be eager to finish the year on a high, especially to make up for the agony of defeat in Paris.

He came up short in the US open semifinals last year, losing to Daniil Medvedev. Alcaraz could meet former world No. 10 Denis Shapovalov in the second round but after the year he’s had, our bet of the day is a run to the title for the Spaniard.

**Aryna Sabalenka** 

After losing three straight matches to world No. 1 Iga Swiatek, Sabalenka finally got her revenge in the Cincinnati semifinals, taking the match 6-3, 6-3. She then went on to defeat Jessica Pegula in straight sets to claim her 15th WTA title. The reigning Australian Open champion is now back to her best and is a threat to anyone.  As the 2023 US Open runner-up, she will be determined to go one step further this year.  

A potential semifinal showdown with Coco Gauff, who beat her in last year's final, could be on the horizon, and her excellent serve and forehand will make her a smart bet prediction.

**Iga Swiatek**

Swiatek had a disappointing 2024 Paris Olympics, losing to Qinwen Zheng of China in the semifinals, who went on to win the gold medal. Despite that setback, the 23-year-old has the experience of playing and winning on the biggest stages - she's a four-time Roland Garros champion and has a US Open winner.

She's back in New York as the top seed looking to make a strong statement and end the season on a high. Swiatek starts her campaign against Kamilla Rakhimova, who is ranked 104 and has won just 2 of her last 8 matches. Our bet prediction is for the Pole to breeze through this one and go all the way in Queens.

**Coco Gauff**

Coco hasn't quite lived up to her own high standards this year, after her breakthrough 2023 US Open title. The top-ranked American had a decent run in Grand Slams, reaching two semifinals, but her Wimbledon campaign ended in a fourth-round loss to fellow countrywoman Emma Navarro. 

Gauff also struggled in the lead-up to the US Open, falling in the third round in Toronto and second round in Cincinnati.

Despite this, she's still ranked No. 3 and has the home-court advantage. The 20-year-old will be looking to regain her form in front of her adoring fans. Can the 20-year-old defend her title? Betting on her to win @9.50 is a mouthwatering proposition.
