2024 US Open: Men's Outright Odds

The 2024 US Open begins on Monday, August 26, and Novak Djokovic is the favorite to win the men's singles competition.

The Serbian veteran recently won the Olympics for the first time in his glittering career, so he will have momentum on his side as he heads to New York.

Carlos Alcaraz and Djokovic have faced off in the finals of the last three major men's singles tournaments - the French Open, Wimbledon and the Olympics - with Alcaraz taking the first two before Djokovic won gold in Paris. The pair have combined to win eight of the last nine men's singles grand slam titles.

2024 Australian Open champ Jannik Sinner, recent French Open finalist Alexander Zverev and 2021 US Open winner Daniil Medvedev round out the top-five favorites in what promises to be another thriling few weeks in New York.

Novak Djokovic +175

What a turbulent year it has been for Novak Djokovic.

The Serbian began the season by failing to defend his Australian Open title - a Grand Slam he has won a record 10 times.

He reached the quarterfinals of the French Open before withdrawing with injury and underwent knee surgery in June.

That did not keep him down for long, though, and he was back on the courts at Wimbledon, making it all the way to the final before he was beaten by Alcaraz in straight sets. After that, he got to the Olympic final and beat Alcaraz to take home his first gold medal.

It remains to be seen which Djokovic will turn up at Flushing Meadows, but as a result of getting the easier side of the draw, he enters the tournament as the favorite.

Carlos Alcaraz +187

After getting put on the more difficult side of the bracket in the draw, Carlos Alcaraz looks appropriately priced at +187.

The Spaniard has already won two Grand Slam titles this season, but it was at Flushing Meadows where he won his first major honor in 2022.

That said, the 21-year-old will want to work on his record at hard-court Grand Slams after he crashed out in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open against Alexander Zverev earlier this year.

Jannik Sinner +333

If Alcaraz had not won back-to-back Grand Slam titles, all the talk on the ATP Tour this year would be about Jannik Sinner.

The Italian exploded out of the blocks at the start of the year, winning the Australian Open as well as titles in Rotterdam and Miami before the end of March.

A semifinal run at the French Open was impressive, especially as he pushed Alcaraz close in a five-set thriller, but he will be looking for an improvement after a frustrating quarterfinal exit at Wimbledon.

Alexander Zverev +900

Alexander Zverev proved himself on the clay earlier this season by making the final of the French Open, but he is equally as dangerous on the faster surfaces.

He reached the last four of the Australian Open earlier this year, defeating the likes of Cameron Norrie and Alcaraz along the way, while he was also runner-up at the US Open in 2020.

The German has since made the semi-finals and quarter-finals in New York, either side of missing the 2022 event, so he could well be in the mix for the title.

Daniil Medvedev +1400

There is definitely recent to be optimistic about Daniil Medvedev's chances at Flushing Meadows this year.

The Russian won this Grand Slam back in 2021 and has also reached the final on two other occasions, including last year.

He also comes into this year's major in decent form after making the semi-finals of Wimbledon for the second successive season.

He is a hard-court specialist, as shown by his run to the final of the Australian Open at the start of the year, so he is worth monitoring.
