Punters rate Sam Stosur as Australia’s best hope at the 2012 US Open with the world number 7 a $34 chance to win the women’s singles with Sportingbet Australia.
Sportingbet CEO Michael Sullivan said Serena Williams has been very well supported to win her fourth US Open title.
“Serena is a rock solid $2 favourite to win and we’ve taken a number of four figure bets on her at that price,” Sullivan said.
“Over 90% of the money we’ve taken on the women’s singles title has been for Serena.”
“We’ve written a few small bets on Stosur at the $34,” Sullivan said.
Victoria Azarenka and Maria Sharapova are equal second favourites at $6 while Petra Kvitova is fourth pick at $8.
In the men’s draw punters believe Lleyton Hewitt has next to no hope of repeating his 2001 US Open performance with the former world number one rated a $501 hope. Hewitt’s compatriot Bernard Tomic is also at the long odds of $331 to win the men’s singles.
Novak Djokovic has been backed from $2.80 into $2.40 in front of Roger Federer who is $4.25 into $3.
