U.S. Open Tennis Bets: Nadal vs. Federer

Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal

If all goes according to plan like it did at Wimbledon, we’ll see the top two players in men’s tennis meet at the U.S. Open finals. Roger Federer has won the last four Open titles in a row, all four against different opponents. None of those men was Rafael Nadal. The hard-hitting Spaniard put an end to Federer’s winning streak at Wimbledon and took over the No. 1 spot in the ATP rankings. He’s also the 11-8 favorite to double-up at Flushing Meadows; Federer is 13-8 to defend.

Although these are easily the two best players on the tour, they’re not a deadbolt lock to make the final. The popular Federer-Nadal props market has 11-10 odds of a Wimbledon rematch at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Federer is –175 to get all the way through the semis; Nadal is a fat –350, in part because third seed Novak Djokovic (+225) is on Federer’s side of the draw.
