Serena Williams

2022 US Open Odds: +3300

It what’s likely the last stand for one of if not the greatest female tennis players of all time, Serena Williams will be the most-watched figure in Flushing Meadows this year, hands down. The 23-time Grand Slam winner and six-time US Open champion is, without a doubt, the most decorated participant in this year’s draw of the US Open, albeit with lackluster results this same year coming off a leg injury. Nonetheless, Serena’s name value and the spectacle of her apparent retirement tour make her a solid sleeper pick to win it all in Flushing Meadows for the first time since 2014.

Leylah Fernandez

2022 US Open Odds: +3300

The biggest surprise from last year’s edition of the US Open happens to be rising star Leylah Fernandez, who stunned her peers with a final-round appearance in the final Grand Slam tournament of the season. The 19-year-old lefty from Montreal won her second-ever WTA Tour singles tourney earlier this 2022, coupled with another strong showing at a Grand Slam event with her quarter-final showing at the French Open. The Fernandez hype train is still alive and well, and what better way to make her official stamp as the next big name on the scene than by finishing the job at The Big Apple that she came so close to accomplishing last year?

Victoria Azarenka

2022 US Open Odds: +4000

Similar to Fernandez, WTA Tour veteran Victoria Azarenka was one win away from capturing a US Open title. In fact, the 33-year-old from Belarus reached the final of the US Open on three separate occasions since 2012, recently reaching the deciding match in the 2020 installment of the tournament. Azarenka is a two-time Australian Open champion and holds an 84-26 lifetime record in hard-court Grand Slam matches for a 76-percent win percentage on such surfaces, making her one of the more reliable dark horse picks as she seeks her first Grand Slam title in over nine years.
