Looking for a whopper in New York…
Monday 13th August 2018
In your Ones to Watch EXTRA email today:
Coming soon – your free US Open report…
We’re just a fortnight away from the final Grand Slam tournament of the season – the US Open 2018.
This time last year we made one of our best ever Ones to Watch picks, with Sloane Stephens ‘coming from nowhere’ (as one TV commentator put it) to win the US Open title as a 40/1 outsider.
Last month at Wimbledon we also got ourselves a big one in a final, with 50/1 Kevin Anderson coming through the draw to land a 25/1 Each Way place payout.
Looking for a whopper in New York…
Once again we’ll be looking beyond the favourites and short prices, instead questing to find the next ‘shock’ player to make it to a big final at a big price.
The US Open in particular has a reputation for throwing up surprises, coming as it does at the back end of a gruelling summer schedule…
Last year Kevin Anderson was a 150/1 runner-up in the Men’s event, with 40/1 Stephens taking the Women’s trophy.
In 2016, Karolina Pliskova was a 33/1 runner-up in the Women’s. And the 2015 Women’s final was contested by two rank outsiders at massive prices, with 200/1 Flavia Pennetta beating 500/1 Roberta Vinci.
Before that, the 2014 Men’s final saw 100/1 Marin Cilic beat 50/1 Kei Nishikori.
Rest assured, we’ll be looking to find a big one in the Big Apple. Lookout for an email from me on Saturday, containing your free US Open 2018 report.
Enjoy the tennis…
Best wishes,
Tom Wilson
