The US Open continues this week, and there are some great semi-final matches on the schedule at Flushing Meadows.
Our US Open tips and predictions highlight all four semifinal matches, and the latest US Open tennis odds are available now.
Our US Open semi final tips include Ben Shelton -4.5 games against countryman Frances Tiafoe.
Both players come off gruelling five-set wins, but Shelton’s was by far the most impressive. He defeated Carlos Alcaraz after losing the first set 7-6, and his effort to win the fifth-set tiebreaker was incredible.
An American is guaranteed to make the men’s finals, and although Tiafoe is a good player, he’s not on the same level as Shelton, who has a bigger serve, and his ground-stroke game has improved tenfold.
Our US Open tips today have Shelton winning comfortably and covering the -4.5 spread.
Our US Open predictions today have Aryna Sabalenka beating American Jessica Pegula, which won’t be easy, but she’s the best player in the world.
The Belarusian needs to have a good US Open to retain her status at the top, and despite having some tough matches, she’s in a good position to make another Grand Slam final at Flushing Meadows.
Pegula has also struggled at times, and she didn’t beat Emma Navarro as easily as we expected this week. She is the American player, so she’ll have support, but we don’t think she’s good enough to cause an upset.
If Sabalenka can keep focused, the $1.53 odds will look good.
Elena Rybakina is our best US Open semifinals tip. She has looked powerful throughout the tournament, and although she lost the opening set in her quarterfinal on Thursday, she bounced back by winning the last two sets.
The Australian Open winner has another tough test against American Coco Gauff, but she can handle it. Gauff got into the semifinals with a gritty comeback win over Mirra Andreeva, but she could be fatigued from that effort.
Rybakina has a blistering forehand, and she’ll use that weapon to beat Gauff. The $1.90 odds are included in our US Open best bets this week.
Alex Zverev has justified his #1 seed with some trouble-free play, and he should take care of Karen Khachanov.
Khachanov has played well to make a rare Grand Slam semifinal, and his opponent pulled out midway through the game on Thursday. That helps rest the legs, but there is a class advantage for Zverev.
The German won his first Grand Slam title this year, and with Jannik Sinner not playing and Alcaraz knocked out, he won’t get a better chance to double his tally.
We have him scoring a commanding win and covering the -4.5 game spread.
