Novak Djokovic is the top seed and the favorite on the tennis betting odds
for the U.S. Open, which gets underway on Monday, but he's also coming off a
tournament in which he had to retire early with a shoulder injury. Djokovic, who won the Rogers Cup in Toronto earlier this month, disappointed
his supporters on the tennis odds at
the Bodog Sportsbook last week when he pulled out of the final match in
Cincinnati against Andy Murray with a sore shoulder.
Murray, who had ousted Mardy Fish 6-3, 7-6 in the semifinals
of that tournament, was leading the final 6-4, 3-0 when Djokovic called it
quits. Fish had previously knocked out Rafael Nadal 6-3, 6-4 in
the quarterfinals, while Roger Federer fell 6-2, 7-6 to
Tomas Berdych in another quarterfinal match at that event.
But despite Djokovic's sore shoulder he's still the 11/8 tennis betting
favorite for the U.S. Open right now, with Nadal at 4/1, Federer at 9/2, and
Murray at 5/1.
At Wimbledon, the most recent major tournament, Djokovic beat Nadal 6-4, 6-1,
1-6, 6-3 in the final. Murray lost to Nadal in the semifinals of that event,
while Federer was upset in the quarterfinals by Jo-Wilfried
Tsonga.
Tsonga is part the second tier of betting favorites at the Bodog Sportsbook
heading into the U.S. Open – he's at 25/1 odds to win in Flushing
Meadows. Juan Martin Del Potro (10/1) and Fish (20/1) are just
ahead of him on that list, with Berdych (33/1) and Robin
Soderling (40/1) just behind him.
Andy Roddick, the 2003 U.S. Open champ, is then a longshot
at 80/1 odds. Nadal won this tournament last year, and Del Potro took the title
in 2009. Federer won this event five years in a row from 2004 to 2008.
