Defending champion, and top seed, Novak Djokovic is favored to win his third U.S. Open title when action gets underway at the USTA Billy Jean King National Tennis Center next week in New York.

Djokovic is listed at +100 (bet $100 to win $100) while second seed, and 2012 U.S. Open winner, Andy Murray is right behind him at +180 at sportsbooks monitored by Odds Shark.

On the women’s side, Serena Williams is a strong +120 favorite and will try to rebound from a disappointing showing in the Olympics and make it back to the final at the U.S. Open after getting bounced in the semifinals a year ago.

Williams was stunned by unseeded Roberta Vinci, who ended up losing to champion Flavia Pennetta in the final.

With Pennetta retired, the top-seeded Williams will be the most recent champ in the field and try to win her fourth U.S. Open title in five years and her seventh overall.

The top competition for Williams is expected to come from second-seeded Angelique Kerber, third-seeded Garbine Muguruza and fifth-seeded Simona Halep, who are all +800 to win the women’s title on the tennis betting odds at the sportsbooks.
