Final Word
For outright betting we also recommend “Double” bets as this can help dramatically increase your returns and you can also place “insurance” bets. For example a Simona Halep @ 9.00 and a Nadal @ 4.50 to win double returns 101.25 points for a 2.5 point bet, you could then do the Double Chance Bet – Djokovic or Federer to win @ 2.25 at 5 points and/or Serena Williams to win @ 6.00 at 5 points or whatever you like to “cover” as the double bet gets closer to a win at the semi-final and final stage.
The Australian Open is also played on a hard acrylic surface so when looking for value in the match betting as well as head to head statistics it is a good idea to research how different players performed in the Australian Open and at other hard court tournaments when making selections.

US Open Tennis Draw
The US Open tennis draw won’t be available until a few days before the main tournament begins but the world rankings give a good indication which part of the draw the main contenders will line up in.
US Open Men’s Draw
Novak Djokovic heads the US Open tennis standings and his biggest threat in the first quarter of the draw could be Alexander Zverev. The world number one could go on to face Roger Federer in the semi-finals, as the swiss is likely to be drawn in the second quarter.
Dominic Thiem should be the top seed in the third quarter and the world number four could have trouble from former US Open finalist Kei Nishikori and recent Wimbledon semi-finalist Roberto Bautista-Agut.
Three-time US Open champion and world number two Rafa Nadal should be the main attraction in the fourth quarter. The rapidly improving Greek player Stefanos Tsitsipas could be his biggest threat.
US Open Women’s Draw
Serena Williams is the early favorite with the bookmakers to win the 2019 Women’s Singles and the current WTA world number nine could avoid some of the other big names if drawn in the second quarter. That could set up an interesting semi-final clash with world number one Ashleigh Barty.
The bottom-half of the draw could potentially produce a semi-final between 2018 US Open Champion Naomi Osaka and this year’s Wimbledon winner Simone Halep.

If you’re new to tennis and tennis betting, below are a few terms you may want to familiarize yourself with before the action gets under way.
- Love: This is the tennis term for zero, so all games in the US Open start at love-love. Points are then awarded as 15, 30, 40, and game, so you will hear the umpire announce the score as 15-love, 30-love, etc.
- Deuce: This is when the score stands at 40-40.
- Advantage: When the game stands at deuce, the player that wins the next point will have the advantage. If they then win the following point, they win the game. If their opponent wins the next point, the score returns to deuce.
- Ace: This is when a player serves and wins a point without his opponent touching the ball.
- Fault: This is when a player serves, and the ball goes into the net or lands outside the service box.
- Double Fault: This is when a player serves two consecutive faults, resulting in a point for his opponent.
- Challenge: If a ball is called out, a player has the right to challenge that decision. A machine called Hawkeye determines whether the ball was out or not. A player is allowed three challenges per set. They lose one of those challenges if they are incorrect but retain them if they are correct.
