As August rolls around, the year's final Grand Slam, the U.S. Open, is also on the calendar. Now, the latest edition of the men's singles odds have been released, let's take a look at the rankings:
Djokovic 2.5
It's not clear whether Djokovic will play, but last year's runner-up, Novak Djokovic, is still in the top spot, which is a bit confusing.
But tens of thousands of people have signed a petition asking US authorities to give the green light for the best tennis player of the day to compete. I wonder if it can be made at the last minute? Let's wait and see!
Medvedev 3.25
The defending champions deserve second place. Although Mei has failed to win several finals since winning the title last year, he has no problem mobilizing as he is a hard-court player who wants to break the drought and maintain his No. 1 ranking.
Alcalas 4.33
Fried chicken is again in the top three. It was his third after the French Open and Wimbledon.
Despite recent defeats to Sinna in back-to-back matches, expectations are high that the Spanish junior will make an impact at this year's Grand Slams.
The U.S. Open is the most likely place to produce a new Grand Slam champion than any other Grand Slam.
Nadal 6.00
This year's Australian Open and French Open new Grand Slam champion is only ranked fourth this time, injury is probably the biggest reason.
The U.S. Open is Nadal's second best Grand slam after the French Open, and he has won all three titles in one season, a feat that neither Roger Federer nor Novak Djokovic has accomplished.
West Sippas 13.00
Zverev 15.00
The other two leading men of the new generation, Tisippas and Zverev, are close behind, with the Greek slightly ahead, a ranking that may be due to the German's uncertain recovery from injury.
Cinnamon 17.00
The Italian has been one of the better hard-court players in recent years, as evidenced by the Miami Masters runner-up, Washington Open champion and two-time Sofia champion.
Having reached the last eight at Wimbledon and the French Open, does he dare to try again at the US Open?
Fritz, Aliasim, Beretini 21.00
All three are capable of reaching the last eight or even the last four, but a sustained output of form is required if they are to get past those ahead of them.
Tim, Lublev, Kyrgios 26.00
The recently ailing Andrei Lublev and two players born in the 1990s who have recovered form are also included in the oddsmakers' list, and they may play the role of strong snipers.
