Jannik Sinner has received a brutal reality check as he prepares to defend his title at the US Open. The world No. 1 recently lifted his fourth Grand Slam trophy at Wimbledon, beating Carlos Alcaraz in the final. If he can retain his crown in Flushing Meadows, he’ll tie Alcaraz on five Majors.

Sabalenka is currently +285 to repeat as champion, second only to Iga Swiatek at +240. Sinner, meanwhile is favored to repeat at +110, slightly ahead of rival Carlos Alcaraz at +175. With some of those odds in mind, let's take a look at some of the best betting options to consider in both the men's and women's tournaments this year in New York.

Both women’s and men’s tennis feature two names at the top of the sport that are a cut above the rest in the betting odds. As the U.S. Open starts on Monday, Jannik Sinner is favored ahead of Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Świątek is favored ahead of Aryna Sabalenka.
