August 2011 - US Open Betting

The US open is 122 years old this year and is one of the four Grand Slam tennis events. As such it is one of the, if not the most prestigious tournament. There are plenty of opportunities for US Open tennis betting as the tournament features men’s and women’s singles, men’s and women’s doubles and mixed doubles. It’s certainly changed from the days when it was just a men’s singles tournament for high society.

The US Open ends the Grand Slam year in the tennis world in the bright lights of Flushing Meadow in New York City. It is the last chance for tennis players to grab major silverware in any calendar year. All the greats have won here and often we have a surprising winner who starts the tournament at long odds. Keep checking out the latest odds and betting previews from the team at betting.betfair to stay one step ahead of the curve.
