US Open Betting Preview

Venus Williams takes on Viktoria Kuzmova in the first round of the US Open on August 28th. The 37-year-old comes in as the ninth best player in the world in terms of rankings and the US Open WTA odds favour her. Kuzmova, meanwhile, is the 19-year-old Slovakian who is rated as the 135th in the world after having taken only 430 points. Williams is the overwhelming favourite in terms of the US Open women predictions for this game.

Viktoria Kuzmova - Stats & Current Form

Kuzmova is a relative unknown coming into the game. Even then, there may be several US Open betting tips who would prefer to go with a surprise selection, especially with the opposition struggling for top form. Kuzmova’s last major Grand Slam happened at Wimbledon 2017 when she was beaten by Bianca Vanessa Andreescu in the qualifiers. She also failed to get past Bethanie Mattek-Sands in the French Open 2017 qualifiers. As a result, our US Open WTA betting tips are not backing the young 19-year-old for success.

Venus Williams - Stats & Current Form

Williams comes into the game after having failed to get past the second round in the Cincinnati Masters. She has had a difficult time as of late after losing in the Wimbledon final against Garbine Muguruza. There was also the fourth-round defeat in the French Open 2017 at the hands of Timea Bacsinszky.

Even then, it is extremely difficult to look beyond top stars like Williams and Rafael Nadal in the US Open ATP odds and WTA odds. Some of the top stars like Nadal can be compared with Williams and the US Open men predictions would also go with such a big name in the opening round if the opponent was weak. All in all, Venus Williams boasts an amazing form having had a great year so far.

US Open Betting Tips

Venus Williams 2-0 @ 1/3 Betway

Williams comes into the game ninth in the world rankings. Our US Open predictions simply cannot ignore the 37-year-old considering her powerful efforts as of late. Williams is searching for her first US Open title since 2001. Her more recent successes in the singles tournaments have been in the Australian Open and getting to the final of the Wimbledon tournament. We back her for a win here given that her opponent is weak and not in a great form, but we're choosing the Set Betting market since the Outright market is not profitable at all. US Open betting odds are in favour of Williams at 1/3 with Bet365 for a clean 2-0 win.

Total Sets: 2 @ 1/4 with Betway

Since May 2017, Viktoria Kuzmova has been involved in just two matches that have produced over 2.5 sets. Even though Williams has been involved in several competitive games during this period, one can find that the best option in US Open betting for this game would be to back 2 sets at 1/4 with Betway. Despite her recent failings, the Wimbledon finalist is expected to come out on top in this match due to her experience and pedigree so the game will be short - two sets total. We chose Betway as they offer the best live tennis odds and a great 100% Match Bonus for all of our valued readers.
