Since the US Open tournament began Tuesday in Flushing Meadows in the borough of Queens, New York, Serena Williams has been the only woman to receive multiple $1K+ bets for US Open futures, according to Caesars Sportsbook.<\/p>\n

In fact, according to Caesars, the American tennis superstar has secured 47.3% of the tickets and 47.9% of the money among all women’s US Open futures wagers.<\/p>\n

Before the tournament, Caesars said, 17 bets of $1K or more to win the women\u2019s US Open were placed. None were on Williams. On Aug. 9, the 40-year-old announced that this would be her final US Open before retiring from tennis.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not surprising that up to the build-up. she didn\u2019t get all this action because people didn\u2019t know what to expect,\u201d said Adam Pullen, Caesars Sportsbook\u2019s assistant director of trading. \u201cShe lost early on in Cincinnati and Toronto. So it\u2019s not like she got to the final there, and there was anticipation that she\u2019d do well at the US Open. So I think a lot of people were skeptical and were waiting to see a match or two before really getting involved with their future bets.”<\/p>\n

Tournament Stats<\/h2>\n

The American tennis superstar entered the tournament as a +5000 longshot to win her seventh and final US Open. But her upset win over No. 2 seed Anett Kontaveit of Estonia on Wednesday took her odds down to +3000.<\/p>\n

They’re now at +1400, behind only favorites Iga Swiatek of Poland (+300), Caroline Garcia of France and American Coco Gauff (both +1000), Ludmilla Samsonova of Russia (+1100), and Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus (+1300).<\/p>\n

60% More Money<\/b><\/h2>\n

Kontaveit closed as the -250 Caesars Sportsbook favorite to beat Williams, who was priced at +190. According to Caesars, Wednesday’s second round was the most popular US Open match \u201cby a lot,\u201d receiving 60% more money than the next closest. In her opening matchup, Williams was a significant favorite (-380) over Montenegrin Danka Kovinic of Montenegro (+275).<\/p>\n

\u201cNow that they\u2019ve seen her win a couple of matches, the action is going to get bigger and bigger,” Pullen said. “She\u2019s earned that respect for people to invest their money in her. The more she wins, the more people are going to bet her in her matches and to win the tournament.\u201d<\/p>\n

Williams is currently a -170 favorite to win her third match of this US Open. It’s against Croatian-American Ajla Tomljanovic. The match can be seen at 7 p.m. ET Friday, Sept. 2, on ESPN.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
