- Novak Djokovic to WIN - $1.83 (SPORTSBET) - TWENTY STAKES
- Raonic to WIN HIS QUARTER - $6.50 -(SPORTSBET) - THREE STAKES
- Nick Kyrgios to MAKE THE FINAL - $10 (SPORTSBET) - ONE STAKE
- Berdych to WIN HIS QUARTER - $6 (SPORTSBET) - ONE STAKE
- Richard Gasquet to WIN HIS QUARTER - $17 (BET365) - HALF STAKE
I'm hugely confident in Djokovic. I'll also recommend twenty stakes on the US open, and he'll win one of them. He'll most likely face Raonic in the quarter finals, and although he should be far too strong (see Indian Wells final), the three stakes on Raonic are a sort of insurance.
I do like Dimitrov to win his quarter at $21, but I'm not going to recommend it. When he's on, he's a fantastic player but it's too hard to predict when that happens. If you see him firing early in the tournament, perhaps put a small amount on him.
On the other side of the draw, I LOVE Berdych to take out what is probably the 'weakest' of the four quarters. He'll most likely face Thiem in the fourth round, and probably Wawrinka in the quarters - both winnable matches to a guy that has played some of his best tennis on grass.
The most interesting quarter to me is the fourth, because I can't really choose between Gasquet, Kyrgios and Murray. Convention would say Murray, but Kyrgios is a strong opponent. Gasquet should make the quarter finals. If Murray beats Kyrgios, I think he'll beat Gasquet, but if Kyrgios beats Murray, I think Gasquet will beat Kyrgios because Nick seems to have some sort of mental block. $17 on 365 is ridiculous for Gasquet to win the quarter though - sportsbet have it at $9.
WOMENS
- Agnieska Radwanska to WIN HER QUARTER - $5 (BET365) - ONE STAKE
- Alize Cornet to WIN HER QUARTER - $34 (SPORTSBET) - QUARTER STAKE
- Angelique Kerber to WIN HER QUARTER - $6 (BET365) - ONE STAKE
- Sabine Lisicki to WIN HER QUARTER - $13 - (SPORTSBET) - HALF STAKE
- Sabine Lisicki to WIN OUTRIGHT - $67 - (SPORTSBET) - QUARTER STAKE
The womens side is always full of upsets, so I've gone for a few here. I think the semifinals will be Serena vs. Radwanska and Kerber vs. Lisicki, but Cornet is a smoky of mine. Kerber has a phenomenal draw up until the quarter-finals, where she'll face (most likely) Keys/Halep/Cornet/Ostapenko (do you see what I mean about the women?).
I'm gambling on Muguruza being a little hungover from RG. If she's full strength, not many will stand in her way. Liscki is a genuine grass player though (with a rocket of a serve) and they're projected to meet in the fourth round. Anything can happen, but I'd rather be on the underdog in this situation. I also like Suarez Navarro in the other quarter, but I think Lisicki has a better game for the surface, and would be full of confidence after beating Muguruza.
