Best men's US Open odds
The reigning US Open champion is the favourite to repeat in 2023.
Alcaraz's status as the 2022 winner isn't the only reason he tops the board. His victory over Djokovic at Wimbledon is a big factor as well.

The Spaniard is also enjoying a fair amount of success on the hardcourts this year, most recently advancing to the quarterfinal at the National Bank Open while winning the Indian Wells Open earlier in the season.
It may be a little unsettling to wager on someone who owns a losing record (6-8) on the hardcourts this year, but hear us out.
Ruud has proven to be a formidable competitor on this surface in the past. He was the finalist at last year's event and had a 34-14 combined record on the outdoor hardcourts in 2021 and 2022.
His consistency at Grand Slam events goes unnoticed, too. Although he's still searching for his first major title, he has been to the final in three of the last six tournaments.
It'll be interesting to see how his draw shakes out, but in the meantime, we're happily taking him at these odds.

Like Alcaraz, Swiatek is also the defending champ and favourite to win again in 2023.
This is a pivotal tournament for Swiatek as she aims to claim her second Grand Slam of the calendar. After winning two majors in 2022, it would feel like a bit of a step back if she doesn't add another here.
The talented Polish tennis star owns an excellent 25-5 record on the hardcourts this year and a 116-34 record overall. She most recently earned a quarterfinal appearance at the National Bank Open and a win in her home country at the Warsaw Open.
A win at Flushing Meadows would be the fifth major of her career.
Samsonova showed at the National Bank Open that she can deliver a high level of play on this surface, even under suboptimal circumstances.
She advanced to the tournament final despite twice having to play two matches on the same day. She played in both the semifinal and final on Aug. 13 and after expending plenty of energy in a comeback win over Elena Rybakina, lost to Jessica Pegula.
Nobody is going to fault her for that, though, and after a first-round loss at the Western and Southern Open, we're viewing the added rest time before this tournament as a positive.
