The final Grand Slam tennis tournament of the year has arrived, with the 2024 US Open kicking off on Monday morning. Since winning gold at the Paris Olympics, defending champion Novak Djokovic will be looking to win his 25th career major title. Djokovic is listed as a +240 favorite (risk $100 to win $240) to win the 2024 US Open, with Carlos Alcaraz as the +210 favorite. Alcaraz has won the last two Grand Slams of the season, including the 2022 US Open.
World No. 1 Jannik Sinner won the Australian Open earlier in the season and is one of the favorites for the 2024 US Open at +320. A total of 32 men's singles matches are scheduled to be played on Monday, August 26, with the highlight being Djokovic vs. Radu Albot, scheduled to start at 7:15 PM ET at Arthur Ashe Stadium. The first match will start at 10 AM ET. Before picking the men's singles matches for the 2024 US Open, we need to see who proven SportsLine tennis handicapper Jose Onorato is backing.
Onorato grew up playing competitive tennis in Caracas, Venezuela, and after moving to the United States, he studied under legendary coach Nick Bollettieri at the IMG Academy in Florida, where he played against players such as Robert Farah, currently one of the top doubles players in the world.
A graduate of the University of Miami with a dual degree in Finance and Economics, Onorato thoroughly researches tennis bets before placing them. She studies current form, player tendencies on specific surfaces, weather conditions and many other relevant factors. This systematic approach has led Onorato to a record of 168 wins, 106 losses and 8 draws (+107.12 units) since 2022. At the 2024 French Open, she correctly predicted Iga Swiatek (-160) to win the women's title.
Now, Onorato is sifting through the latest U.S. Open 2024 odds and revealing his coveted best bets to win, and he's sharing all of his predictions and analysis with SportsLine.
2024 US Open men's top predictions
Onorato has been outshone by Alcaraz, the favorite and winner of the past two Grand Slam titles. The Spaniard lost to Djokovic in the gold medal match in Paris and struggled in his return to hard courts earlier this month. Alcaraz lost in three sets to Gael Monfils in Cincinnati despite entering the match as a heavy -1400 favorite.
There are a few threats to knock Alcaraz out of the second quarter, including big-serving Jack Draper and Hubert Hurkacz. If Alcaraz beats them, he will likely have to beat Sinner and Djokovic to take the title. With Alcaraz being the slight favorite at several points in this projected draw, it's hard to justify his odds of winning the tournament. Find out who else to root for or hate here.
