2022 US Open: Nick Kyrgios Betting Odds, Preview & Prediction

by |

Men’s tennis has been heavily dominated by the “Big Three” of Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and Roger Federer for the last two decades. However, the U.S. Open has been the most volatile of the four Grand Slam events in crowning other champions. Djokovic and Nadal won four titles in five years, from 2015-19. However, Dominic Thiem and Daniil Medvedev have won the last two U.S. Opens, with wins by Andy Murray, Marin Cilic, and Stan Wawrinka mixed in over the last decade.

This year’s U.S. Open is even more open on the men’s side after the not-so-shocking announcement that Novak Djokovic would be ineligible to play because of his vaccination status. Thus, Nadal must be the torch bearer as the lone “Big Three” participant. So is it his to win, or will yet another new player throw their name into the mix of Grand Slam champions?

This is the first annual BettingPros Guide to the U.S. Open, where we will highlight several of the top contenders from both the Men’s and Women’s Draws.

Read on for our thoughts and predictions for Nick Kyrgios at the U.S. Open in 2022.

Nick Kyrgios U.S. Open History

Kyrgios has the fourth-best odds to win the U.S. Open, and for years he was thought of as a top-five talent but never put it together mentally or physically to make a deep run at Flushing Meadows. Kyrgios has lost disappointingly in the first round four times at the U.S. Open and made the third round on three other occasions. Overall, he is just 8-8 in eight years of participation at this Grand Slam.

Nick Kyrgios Recent Form

There is arguably no one hotter in men’s tennis entering this tournament, and not many have had better seasons to this point than Nick Kyrgios. His win in Washington arguably matched his biggest prior ATP title, and his disappointing quarterfinal exit in Montreal the following week was more of a product of him playing too much tennis in a short span than faulty play. Kyrgios is 16-3 in his last 19 matches and 31-9 for the season.

Nick Kyrgios U.S. Open Predictions

There is no doubt that Kyrgios has been impressive this year, and his run to the finals of Wimbledon was captivating and must-watch television. However, we want to see him be more consistent, especially in Grand Slams, before we are “all-in” on his career resurrection. Kyrgios has a roadblock against defending champion Daniil Medvedev. Even though the Australian is 3-1 in his career against Medvedev, we give the nod to the Russian in that potential matchup.

The Pick: Kyrgios Fourth-Round Loss to Medvedev
