Each of the Grand Slam events on the men’s tennis circuit has something a little unique, going beyond just the different playing surfaces. The US Open is a return to hard court action, but it’s also an opportunity to play under the lights at Flushing Meadow in prime time. There have been some classic games over the years, many of which have gone late, forcing avid tennis fans to stay up well beyond their bed time. We can only hope that this year’s event gives us a few such nights, and there are certainly enough top class players on display to make it happen. The draw for the US Open will be made on Friday, before the opening round action gets underway on Monday, August 29th. Let’s take a look at some of the men who are sure to be among the betting odds favorites.
