The US Open Grand Slam rounds out the year’s major tennis tournaments. One of the top four tennis competitions to bet on, the US Open usually takes place in Queens, New York, from late August through early September. Join the live US Open betting action right here at Unibet!
Â
The US Open is known for its hard court surface that, unlike other surfaces such as grass, offers high bounce for a fast-paced game. The colours of the hard court surface have been trademarked as US Open blue and green, which sets it apart from the other Grand Slams.
Whereas Wimbledon, with its rules and restrictions, enforces a game curfew, the US Open is fully equipped with lighting to cope with nighttime sessions. It’s a complete contrast to Wimbledon too, with its electric atmosphere and lively crowds who aren’t afraid to play umpire!
While the ambience can have a positive effect on player performance, the late nights may be detrimental. The court itself impacts the players’ approach to play. Games are played faster than on clay courts but not as fast as on grass. Hard courts are a great middle ground, providing the perfect surface for multiple styles. So, look out for players who adapt well between courts.
Unibet has plenty of neat US Open betting markets that you can place your wagers on. Plus, take advantage of the best US Open odds with our sportsbook! Here’s what you could bet on:
If you prefer betting match by match, then this betting market is for you. Here, you predict the winner of a specific match and place your bets on the outcome.
Tournament outright winner
Alternatively, bets can be placed on the players who will win the overall tournament. Simply select your favourites from the men’s singles or women’s singles and place your bet on who will be the 2025 US Open champions.
Rather than predicting who will win, set betting focuses on how much by. In order to set a bet in this way, you will need to predict the results of the sets. As this is trickier than simply selecting a winner, this betting market can be more worthwhile.
A betting market that’s all about thresholds, total games over/under, involves predicting if a game will exceed a number or not. To explain, you place a bet on whether or not you think a set threshold will go over or under. If you are correct, you win the bet.
Make things a little more interesting with handicap betting. When you place a handicap bet on the losing player, you can still win. In a match with a small point difference, a handicap of +2.5 on a player can mean that your bet wins on a losing player.
Join in with the electric atmosphere of the matches in NYC by betting during live matches. In-play betting allows for more informed betting as the state of play changes.
For a more personalised betting experience, Unibet’s Bet Builder is a great tool to use. Placing combination bets may be a little more complicated, but using our intuitive Bet Builder simplifies the process for you.
