US Open

The US Open is one of the four grand slam tournaments that take place every single year in tennis and it’s one of the most anticipated events of the year for fans. The very first US Open was played in 1881 and at that time only men were competing in the event. Every year the US Open runs during August and September for two weeks with Labour Day weekend falling in the middle of the tournament. The US Open is played in Queens, New York every year at the Flushing Meadows Corona Park.

Just like most of the other grand slam events during the year in tennis there are five main events during the US Open which consist of the men singles, women singles, men doubles, women doubles and the mixed doubles. There are also several other events that are played at the US Open which include events for junior tennis players, senior tennis players and for tennis players in wheelchairs.

The US Open is played on a hard court and this helps make the game a lot more exciting because the ball carries a lot faster on this surface. The US Open also uses the unique tiebreak method which no other grand slam implements. In the event that two players are tied in a set they will play one tiebreak game that decides who wins the set. In all of the other grand slam events in tennis you’ll find that players need to win by two games in order to win the set.

When the US Open originated more then 100 years ago the event was mainly watched by the rich and popular individuals in New York. As the sport has grown it has become a lot more mainstream and now the US Open is one of the most watched tennis events in the world. Millions of people from around the world will watch and wager on the US Open every year. All of the major sportbooks will have odds for the US Open so it shouldn’t be hard to find an online bookie that accepts US Open wagers.

The main tennis stadium for the US Open is absolutely huge and can hold a capacity of more then 20K spectators for any given tennis match. If you can make it out to New York for the US Open one year then it’s a trip I would definitely advise on taking. When the main stadium is full you won’t even be able to hear yourself and it’s definitely an electric atmosphere.

With millions of dollars on the line every year at the US Open you can guarantee that all of the players will be trying their best to win the grand slam event. That is the one thing I like about tennis over most other sports. When it comes down to playing in grand slam events the best players often qualify through the tournament and you don’t see many upsets. This can used in your favour when wagering on the early rounds of the US Open. Always pick the heavy favourites when you can in the early stages of the US Open such as Federer and Nadal.
