The US Open concludes with the men’s final between Alex Zverev and Ben Shelton, with the American looking to end a long drought for the US players.
Our US Open tips and predictions highlight all the best betting options for the final on Monday, and the latest US Open tennis odds are available now.
Our US Open final tips have Shelton winning on home soil, and it would be a great occasion for the rising star.
He hasn’t made a deep run like this many times before, and although he’s giving away experience to the top-seeded German, he’s riding the wave, and he could cap it off with an impressive win.
His victory over Frances Tiafoe was good, especially after dropping the first set. Tiafoe isn’t an elite player like Zverev, but he’s tough to get past, and it should give Shelton a lot of confidence going into the final.
Zverev won his semi-final in straight sets, but after winning set 1 6-3, the last two sets were won in tiebreaks. It wasn’t a commanding performance, and as the odds suggest, he’s not a good thing to win.
Our US Open best bets include Shelton to win at $2.15. It’s a fair price for the American, who should make a game of it at Flushing Meadows.
This game could be an instant classic, and we would love to see Shelton win 3-2.
Men’s finals are often endurance tests, and they aren’t often one-sided affairs. With Shelton possessing the younger legs, he could outstay Zverev and win the final set, which would see the crowd go nuts.
There is value in the $5.75 for Shelton to win 3-2, and we see him winning the 1st, 3rd, and 5th sets to claim his first Grand Slam title, so include this option in US Open Finals predictions.
One of our most confident bets with US Open Finals tips is over 42.5 games. This should be a long game, and we can’t see it being won in straight sets.
Neither player is willing to give in, and every set could be decided by either a tiebreak or one break of serve. We expect a 4+ hour contest, and that should result in over 42.5 games coming through easily.
Include this option in all US Open predictions today.
This is an excellent exotic option for punters to take. We have Shelton winning the first 6-4, and that should only require one break of serve.
His game has improved over the last year, and he’s attacking his opponents serve more often. We see Zverev getting broken in one of his first two service games, and if Shelton can hold his serve, the left-hander should win 6-4.
The $12 odds are too good to turn down as a value bet, so include him in US Open Finals tips.
