While Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal dispute favouritism ahead of the US Open tennis championship at Flushing Meadows, Bookmakers report plenty of money being staked on Britain’s, Andy Murray to win his first Grand Slam. As it stands currently, Ladbrokes has Federer at 9/4, Nadal at 11/4 and Murray at 3/1, with the next best in the betting, Novak Djokovic at 12/1.
Of course defending champion, Juan Martin Del Potro has announced that his wrist injury will prevent him from defending his title that he won in such gruelling style in that epic five set final with Federer last year.

Federer comes into the tournament in great form, having just won the Cincinnati ATP 1000 Masters, in a close final against the unseeded, but hugely dangerous, Mardy Fish, who had earlier put Murray out of the tournament. Federer was also runner up to Murray in the Toronto ATP 1000 Masters the week before and in our book is the justified favourite for this final ‘Grand Slam’ of the year - one that he has won five times previously, including the 2008 final against Murray.
Fish incidentally might well be a good each way bet in this event, he has won three times on tour this year, including three wins over Murray. He is playing in front of his home crowd and at 33/1 with ladbrokes he looks extremely good value.
2010 US Open Tennis Championship Odds Comparison.
Given that Federer and Nadal are the best two players in the world and seeded to meet each other in the final here, it strikes us that odds of 7/2 against them meeting in the final, is fantastic value and a bet that should be snapped up – punters are advised however to wait until ‘all’ Bookmakers have created their markets, before making this bet.
Most plaudits believe that it is inevitable that Andy Murray will win a Grand Slam before too long and most also agree that that the likely one will be the US Open due to the quick hard court surface suiting his game. He was battered around by Federer in the 2008 final and has since lost to the Swiss in the 2010 Australian Final. Nonetheless Murray is not fazed by Federer and showed enough ability to defeat him in the final of ATP 1000 Toronto Masters a fortnight ago. Murray usually plays well at Flushing Meadow and we think he will make the semi final at least, that said we will have some money on the Scot at 3/1 with Ladbrokes.com to win.
