Sinner Leads the Field
Sinner is listed at -125, making him the only player with odds shorter than even money. Carlos Alcaraz follows at +200, while Novak Djokovic (+1400) and Alexander Zverev (+1600) round out the top tier of contenders.
The current odds suggest sportsbooks view the tournament as a two-player race entering the North American hard-court swing, with Sinner holding a significant edge over the rest of the field.
Americans in the Mix
Among the Americans, Ben Shelton opens at +2200, followed by Taylor Fritz (+2500), Tommy Paul (+6000), Learner Tien (+8000), and Frances Tiafoe (+10000). While none enter as favorites, several are expected to benefit from home-court support in New York.
Odds Will Continue to Change
The futures market is expected to shift throughout the summer hard-court season as players compete in Washington, Toronto, Cincinnati, and other tune-up events before arriving in Flushing Meadows. Injuries, withdrawals, and tournament results can all impact the odds leading up to the US Open.
