US Open – Murray to go all the Way?

The US Open is turning into a real corker for this year’s contestants.  First up Nadal has knocked Federer off the top spot as number one seed, ending Federer’s 235 consecutive week record at the top of the ATP rankings.  Entering into the US Open Grand Slam competition, Nadal is looking to capitalise on his current winning streak, and maintain his number one seed position.  Federer on the other hand, hasn’t really been on top form for most of this year, and will be looking for some consolation in making this year’s US Open his 5th consecutive win at this Grand Slam tournament.

Murray is next to grab our attention.  He’s been building on his successes in Wimbledon and has now managed to secure a place in the Semi Finals.  He will be playing Nadal, but with his current form, there’s a chance that he could give Nadal a run for his money.

The bookies do however have him in fourth place going into the semi finals.  If you think that he has a chance you can get 11/1 from VC Bet who are currently offering the best odds.  Nadal has odds of 6/5 from Stan James, whereas Federer’s are 12/5 from Ladbrokes.  Djokovic, who got booed from court after his last game has odds of just 7/2, which I guess are short as Federer’s gameplay cannot be guaranteed any more.

As far as Murray’s match with Nadal goes, you’d expect Nadal to be the favourite by far, but this isn’t the case.  The best odds available for Nadal to win are from Paddy Power 1/4, whereas Murray’s odds are only 7/2 (currently with Sporting Bet).

It’s giong to be an interesting match, and one that I am eagerly awaiting.  The prospect of a final in a Grand Slam tournament which doesn’t have Nadal and Federer in it seems to be quite possible, and that would be something we haven’t seen in a while.

All odds are correct at the time of writing, please check our US Open Odds page for the current best odds.
