Tennis Betting Advice - August 2021

My three early picks for the US Open...

Thursday 26th August 2021

In Ones to Watch today:

  • Serena pulls out…
  • US Open – daily email service starts Monday…
  • Three players & prices already in the book…

The big-name withdrawals keep on coming. On Wednesday, six-time US Open champion Serena Williams announced that she won’t be fit to compete in New York next week.

Serena joins two other living legends, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, in pulling out of the US Open 2021.

That trio go on the absentee list, along with two more Grand Slam winners, US Open 2016 victor Stan Wawrinka, and the reigning champion, Dominic Thiem.

With such top-class and highly experienced names as those missing from the New York draws, it’s going to be a very interesting Grand Slam fortnight…

I’ll be kicking off our DAILY email service for the US Open from 12 noon on Monday. Including matchday selections and advice, and big-odds contenders in the Outright Winner markets.

Three players already in the book…

Our early-bird work this season has seen us get three picks in the book for the US Open. Here’s a reminder of the players & prices that we’re already on:

  • In January, we got on Aryna Sabalenka @ 28/1, 25/1, or 22/1. As anticipated in that article, the Belarusian has indeed gone on to have a good season; Sabalenka is just this week up to a new career-high of no.2 in the world, and is now trading at 10/1. We’ve got a bit of value in the book there
  • And in the men’s, our 100/1+ Wimbledon semi-finalist, Hubert Hurkacz @ 100/1 or 80/1. He’s still available at 100/1 as I write, with Boylesports. 80/1 with Bet365, and 66/1 in general

Three nice Each Way prices in the portfolio there. And when the draws are completed, and the latest injury news is in on Monday morning, I’ll be serving up my Day One picks for you.

See you then…

Best wishes,

Tom Wilson
