ROGER FEDERER A SLIM FAVOURITE OVER RAFA NADAL TO WIN 2010 US OPEN
The action is really starting to pick up in the US Open as we're now down to the final six contenders in the Men's Division. Tonight's action sees Stanislas Wawrinka taking on Mikhail Youzhny for a semi-final spot. The odds for that fixture look to be fairly even so be sure to stay tuned to Betting Choice for even more tips and selections as we get closer to that match.
Roger Federer is currently considered to be the slim favourite to win the US Open and you can back him at an 11/10 price tag to lift the trophy. Rafael Nadal is the second favourite and it really looks to just be between these two as the young Argentine is priced at 5/4 for the outright win.
Novak Djokovic is a perennial dark horse for these types of events and he's trading at a juicy 11/2 to win the US Open but everybody is going to acknowledge that it's really going to take something special to topple any of the world's top two.
Should a major shock happen and one of Youzhny, Wawrinka and Verdasco wind up winning the tournament, you're looking at a 40/1 payout on either of them.
Tonight's fixture is giving Youzhny the slim edge with a 4/5 price tag popular Irish bookmaker Paddy Power. Wawrinka is priced at even money and you can really expect this one to be close- so I think backing a 3-2 win for either contender could be a great selection, especially for neutrals. Youzhny is 5/1 to win 3-2 while Wawrinka is trading at 9/2.
Rafa Nadal vs Fernando Verdasco is going to be a fantastic fixture and anybody staying up late enough to catch it will likely be anticipating Nadal putting on a clinic. He has very small odds and is priced around 1/14 at the moment for the outright win. You can back him to take a straight sets victory with a 4/6 price tag. He's 12/5 to win 3-1.
Youzhny to win 3-2 x Nadal to win 3-0 pays out at 10/1 on a double.
