Match Winner and Outright Tournament Markets
Match Winner is simple: pick the player you think will win a specific match. Outright markets cover the whole tournament, so you can back your pick to go all the way and lift the US Open trophy.
Game and Set Handicap Adjustments
Handicaps give one player a virtual advantage or deficit. Back a player at -1.5 sets, for example, and they need to win by at least two sets for your bet to land.
Game handicaps work the same way, using games instead of sets. A player at -3.5 games must finish at least four games ahead for the bet to win.
Set Betting and Total Game Over/Under Markets
Set Betting lets you predict the final score, such as 3-0, 3-1, or 3-2.
Total Games is about how many games the players rack up between them. If the line is 39.5, Over needs 40 or more games, while Under needs 39 or fewer.

Understanding Men's US Open Tennis Formats and Rules
Hard courts. Best-of-five-set matches. Straight knockout. The tournament has a few rules and conditions worth knowing, especially when sizing up the US Open tennis betting odds.
Hard-Court Surface Speed and Arthur Ashe Stadium Conditions
The US Open is played on hard courts, which are faster than clay but slower than grass. That middle ground suits different playing styles, rather than heavily favouring one type of player.
Then there’s Arthur Ashe Stadium. The main court has a retractable roof, so rain doesn’t necessarily mean play stops. Day and night sessions bring different temperatures and conditions into the mix.
Tournament Structure and Match Formats
Win and you move on. Lose and your US Open is over. Do that seven times, and you’re the champion.
Men’s singles matches are best of five sets, meaning a player needs three sets to win. Sets normally go to six games, with a two-game margin. At 6-6, it’s tiebreak time. If the fifth set reaches 6-6, the players contest a first-to-10 tiebreak and must win it by two points.
How Match Retirements Are Settled
Injuries happen, and sometimes a player can’t finish the match. For punters, the important bit is what happens to the bet.
There isn’t one answer for every market. For example, a bet on the first set may already be settled if that set was completed before the player retired, while a Match Winner bet could be treated differently.
