of the US Open all the more intriguing. Now with the final grand slam
of the season nearing an end, the tennis betting community is charged
with the task of predicting the best of the rest.

Rafael Nadal and Juan Martin del Potro have both been absent from the
tournament, and Martin de Potro is the only non-Big Four individual to
win a grand slam between 2005 and 2013.By default, Novak Djokovic became
the No. 1 seed; although, the Serb is a perennial favorite regardless
of Nadal being in competition or not.The shaken up tournament has
created opportunities for individuals like Roger Federer and Stanislas
Wawrinka. One a legend of the sport who hasn’t won a grand slam title
since 2012 and the other a fringe contender that won his first back at
the Australian Open in January.


Through the first rounds of the tournament in New York, both Federer
and Wawrinka have navigated the bracket unscathed, the former having
lost but one single set. Over the course of the weekend, they’ll duke it
out with each other and Djokovic for the tournament’s top honors.


Djokovic is 1/1 to win the US Open, and Federer follows suit with
2/1. Other contenders like Wawrinka (12/1) and Andy Murray (6/1) can be
found further down the tennis futures.

Tennis Odds: Nadal Departure Puts Federer in Promising Position

The recently announced withdrawal of Rafael Nadal from this year’s US
Open has sent the tennis betting community into a tailspin. Suddenly,
the possibilities of how it might unfold have opened up. Benefitting
most from the news is Roger Federer; the 33-year-old is 3/1 to win the
event.

Federer hasn’t won a US Open since 2007. He has had a string of elite
performances throughout the summer and has an opportunity to snap the
skid.


The revelation that Federer won’t have to face Nadal en route to a US
Open championship comes as a great relief. Federer has had little
success against Nadal.


The removal of Nadal from the tournament draw also shifts Novak
Djokovic to the No. 1 spot and out of Federer’s path until the finals.
There’s a good chance that both will meet then, but that could give the
Swiss vet ample opportunity to build momentum. Djokovic remains the US
Open favorite (6/5).


Federer hasn’t won a grand slam title since 2012, but he has played
well in tournaments all year long. In August alone he finished second at
the Rogers Cup and first at the Cincinnati Open. It’s hard, therefore,
to figure out exactly what Federer’s value might be heading forward.


With Nadal temporarily out of the picture, we’ll soon find out.

Tennis Betting: Action-Packed August Heats Up at Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati

in the days after the crowning of the Rogers Cup champion and with the

The tournament will come to a head on Sunday and will feature many of
the game’s most formidable stars. Individuals like Novak Djokovic
(ranked No. 1 in the world with 4 singles titles in 2014) and Roger
Federer (ranked No. 3 with 2 singles titles) lead the way in the
sportsbook as household names capable of great things.


Still, despite being popular tennis betting options, they’re not the only names worth keeping tabs on heading forward.


Youngsters Milos Raonic (12/1 to win Cincinnati Open) and Grigor
Dimitrov (14/1 to win) represent a new generation of tennis contenders.
They are a class of foes that may one day rival the likes of Djokovic
and Rafael Nadal (not present this week).


See the game at its finest during one of the busiest months on the
tennis calendar. There may be new faces emerging among the sport’s
elite, but it’s still the same sport we all know and love.

Tennis Odds: Gulbis Braces for French Open Semifinal Against Djokovic

Consecutive victories over high profile opponents have 25-year-old
Ernests Gulbis on the mind of the tennis betting community heading into
the final two rounds of French Open action. The semifinalist will face
off against his toughest challenge yet in Novak Djokovic.

Fresh off of back-to-back wins over Roger Federer and Tomas Berdych –
the latter in three straight sets – Gulbis has become somewhat of a
quiet force in the late stages of the Roland Garros tournament.


His 20/1 odds of winning the French Open pale in comparison to 10/11
mark, but do a fine job of emphasizing the Latvian’s unexpected run to
the penultimate match.


After trailing by a set against Federer in the fourth round, Gulbis
rallied for and improbable victory against the living legend and he
hasn’t looked back since.


While knocking off the No. 4-ranked Federer and then No.6-ranked
Berdych is impressive, however, there’s a reason why Djokovic slides in
at No. 2. Between Djokovic and No. 1 Rafael Nadal, there remains plenty
that could go wrong in Gulbis’ pursuit of yet another upset.


Ranked No. 17, and listed as the 18th seed in the French Open
bracket, Gulbis has come out of nowhere as an intriguing tennis betting
option. There’s no guaranteeing that his luck will continue in the final
rounds at Roland Garros, but it’s something we’re excited to see.

Tennis Betting: French Open King Nadal Faces Challenges in 2014

While Rafael Nadal’s stranglehold on clay surface success begins to
ease up, a hungry field of ATP competitors is ready and waiting to take
his place on the throne. Don’t get us wrong, Rafa remains the tennis
betting favorite with 5/4 odds of winning the French Open, but he has
had some vulnerabilities exploited in 2014 already.

Having most recently fallen to chief rival Novak Djokovic at the
Italian Open earlier this month, Nadal will need to scramble if he
intends on reestablishing himself as the overwhelming favorite whenever
the conversation turns to clay. He’s looked effective on clay this
season, sure, but he’s also looking uncharacteristically mortal.


At the French Open he’ll face stiff competition from not only
Djokovic, but also less heralded tennis betting options like Stanislas
Wawrinka, Kei Nishikori and Grigor Dimitrov. Is the Big Four Era on the
verge of collapse?


Could those relatively new names, or perhaps even Nadal’s fellow ATP
veterans like Roger Federer, Andy Murray or countryman David Ferrer
spoil his bid for a ninth win at Roland Garros in the 10 seasons?


It’s time to find out.
