Is it a 3-man battle for the U.S. Open title? There is no doubt that Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz are the 3 best players in the world right now. However, all 3 come with at least a bit of a question mark heading into the tennis season’s fourth and final Grand Slam. It’s not entirely out of the question that a player like Alexander Zverev, Daniil Medvedev or someone from the crop of rising American stars could capitalize on a big opportunity in New York City.
Let’s take a look at the US Open odds and our tennis best bets to be made on the men’s singles side at the 2024 US Open.

U.S. Open tennis 3-star best bet: Novak Djokovic (+275)
Djokovic could not be in a better situation heading into New York. He is now more than two months removed from the meniscus injury he sustained at Roland Garros, so he should be 100 percent from a physical standpoint. Moreover, the 37-year-old Serb won the gold medal at the Paris Olympics – restoring confidence by beating Alcaraz in the final after getting blown out by the Spaniard in the Wimbledon championship match. It’s also worth noting that Djokovic skipped recent Masters 1000 events in Montreal and Cincinnati, so he is extremely well-rested. The best news of all for him is that both Sinner and Alcaraz are in the top half of the draw. It is all set up for Djokovic to secure a 25th Grand Slam title and fifth at Flushing Meadows.
U.S. Open tennis 2-star best bet: Daniil Medvedev (+1600)
With Sinner triumphing at the Australian Open and climbing to #1, Alcaraz securing back-to-back slam titles in Paris and London and Djokovic donning the gold medal, Medvedev has flown under the radar basically this entire year. Don’t be surprised if the former world #1 suddenly announces that he once again belongs at the top of the game. The U.S. Open has to be considered Medvedev’s favorite tournament. He lifted the trophy in 2021 (beat Djokovic in the final) and has twice been runner-up (lost to Rafael Nadal in 2019 and to Djokovic last summer). It’s also worth noting that the Russian upset Sinner in the Wimbledon quarterfinals a little more than a month ago, so it’s not like he is playing poorly. Being in the top half of the bracket doesn’t help, but at +1600 Medvedev has great value.

U.S. Open tennis 1-star best bet: Taylor Fritz (+6500)
Unseeded Italian Matteo Berrettini as a possible second-round opponent is far from ideal, but otherwise this is a dream draw for Taylor Fritz. He is in the weaker half away from Sinner and Alcaraz, in a quarter with the weakest top-4 seed (Alexander Zverev) and in an eighth with the weakest 5-8 seed (Casper Ruud). The American has every reason to reach at least the quarterfinals, while a semifinal spot is very much in play. At that point anything can happen, so Fritz has value that should not be passed up at +6500 odds. The world #12 has advanced to slam quarterfinals 4 times, all within the last 25 months – including at last year’s U.S. Open. If the American men’s Grand Slam title drought is going to end, Fritz is likely to be the one who does it.
