The Top eight favourites for the United States Open 2010
The Swiss tennis master has won a total of five United States Open titles however his dwindling form has many favouring Nadal ahead of Federer.
Rafael Nadal wishes for a career Grand Slam and in order to complete the deed, he is required just to grab the United States Open title.
Rafa so far has never grasped a trophy in Flushing Meadows however with Roger Federer dwindling and with last year’s winner Juan Martin Del Potro out of form, a wonderful chance for Nadal is waiting for the picking towards the end of next month.
Here is the list of top eight players in the current scenario that can triumph in the last Grand Slam tournament of 2010, the United States Open championship:
Rafael Nadal with a price of +300 (3/1), Roger Federer +300 (3/1), Andy Murray +494 (about 5/1), Novak Djokovic +1000 (10/1), Robin Soderling +1400 (14/1), Tomas Berdych +1400 (14/1), Andy Roddick +1800 (18/1) and Nikolay Davydenko +3300 (33/1) as the number eighth player.
The visibly puffed up players in this list are Roddick, Berdych, Federer, as well as Davydenko without any measure of speculations.
Federer’s position has been decided on the basis of his performances over the last few years however the man now has clearly lost his form after the Australian Open victory.
Rather being considered as a major competitor, Federer should be looked an outside danger and in order to make an assertive bet on him, odds around +1200 (12/1), or even more are required. Federer’s price +300 (3/1) by the Boylesports may blow out to +650 (13/2) or so during the US Open competition so those who are favouring the Swiss at New York are suggested to hold their breaths as there may very well be a finer price on the fresh skyline for the third ranked tennis ace.
Roddick's outcomes of the matches are really beginning to fizzle out. However, there is no doubt about the fact that the American top ranked tennis player has some good years of sports ahead but analysts are concerned over the matter that for how long will he remain in the top ten Grand Slam chart.
As far as Davydenko is concerned, the player has played in a total of thirty six Grand Slam tournaments so far in his professional tennis career. However, unfortunately he has still not made it into the final of any Grand Slam event in spite of the fact that he has played a couple of Grand Slam semi final matches. He was the player of the moment back in 2010 as he won the World Tour Championships however later Davydenko again stumbled at the quarter final stage of the Australian Open tournament.
Mark him +5000 as far as real odds for the US Open championship are concerned and shun him as far as the betting market is concerned.
According to the analysts, the champion of 2010 United States Open would most probably be Murray, Nadal or Djokovic.
There is no hurry at this stage with either one of these challengers as they might have same odds even after the United States Open championship begins. For instance, Nadal was almost +250 (5/2) before the grass court Grand Slam tournament and he could have been favoured at +400 (4/1) after the round number three of Wimbledon.
Soderling on the other hand is the kind of player who can actually knock down any one in a tight clash however similar to Tomas; he at times also fades off in the later stages of the tournament. Nevertheless, +1400 (14/1) is not at all a bad price for him as just Rafa has stood in Robin's way in the previous two Grand Slam events. The Swedish tennis ace has shown some improvement in his game and all he requires to do is to continue with it and it eventually boosts up his confidence in the upcoming US Open championship.
According to the analysts, the best testimonial at this stage is to pepper both Djokovic and Soderling where as hoping for somewhat longer odds on either Nadal or Andy Murray for a major bet.
