U.S. Open: Best odds for men's competitors who aren't Djokovic, Alcaraz

By Chelena Goldman | Last updated 8/28/23

The U.S. Open men's tennis championship is rolling right along, and it's no surprise that Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz are the heavy favorites to win the competition.

Djokovic, who is gunning for his fourth U.S. Open victory, is the favorite at DraftKings to win it all and is priced at +120. Alcaraz, winner of the 2022 U.S. Open as well as Wimbledon earlier this year, is listed at +190.

But what about the rest of the competitors at this year's big tournament in New York? Here are the odds for the top players at this year's U.S. Open who aren't Djokovic or Alcaraz.

DK is liking the chances of Daniil Medvedev being named the men's U.S. Open champion. Medvedev, listed at +1100 to win it all, defeated Alcaraz in the second round at Wimbledon two years back before the world No. 1 had his revenge this past July. The Russian also defeated Djokovic earlier this year at the Dubai Championships, ending the world No. 2's 20-match winning streak.

There is one other favorite oddsmakers at DK are looking at, and it's Jannik Sinner. The 22-year-old Italian is still on the hunt for his first major championship, but DK lists him at +1400 odds to hoist the sterling silver trophy. He's also looking to defeat Djokovic for the first time, although he came close at Wimbledon this year.

DK doesn't seem to think anyone else can compete with Djokovic and Alcaraz at this year's U.S. Open. The next player listed in the odds is Alexander Zverev, and he is a +3500 long shot.

The first round of the U.S. Open tennis competition continues this week as Djokovic takes on Alexandre Muller on Monday. Alcaraz will go up against German competitor Dominik Koepfer on Tuesday afternoon. Both matches are scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET.
