2023 US Open Odds, Picks & Predictions: Elena Rybakina

The Women's Draw at the US Open last year had plenty of upsets and surprises, but at the end the top two women in the Race to the WTA Finals at the time, No. 1 Iga Swiatek and No. 2 Ons Jabeur, competed for the final.

Since Serena Williams three-peated at the US Open from 2012-14, there have been seven different winners among the eight tournaments, with the only repeat winner in that span being Naomi Osaka (won in 2018 and 2020). The US Open has also crowned four first-time Grand Slam winners in that stretch (Flavia Pennetta- 2015, Sloane Stephens- 2017, Bianca Andreescu- 2019, Emma Raducanu- 2021). Last year's winner, Iga Swiatek, was perceived as more of a "veteran" Grand Slam Champion, with the title being her third at the time. Since then, Swiatek and Aryna Sabalenka won the first two majors of the year, representing what some have called "The Big Three" in women's tennis (with Elena Rybakina included), while unseeded Marketa Vondrousova shocked the tennis world by capturing the French Open crown.

Are we in for more surprises with another first-time major winner, or will this be a year where one of the heavy favorites wins the US Open?

2023 US Open Best Bets & Picks: Elena Rybakina

Here is our betting outlook for 2023 US Open.

2023 US Open Betting Predictions

Elena Rybakina has proven to be successful on hard courts, winning at Indian Wells, and finishing runner-up at the Australian Open and Miami. However, that hard-court success has not translated to the US Open, where she has never advanced past the third round, and has been upset in the first round twice in her last four appearances. Despite this being the only Grand Slam where she has a losing record (3-4), she has the shortest odds at DraftKings (+175) to win her quarter.

2023 US Open Betting Advice & Picks

It feels like many are sleeping on Rybakina entering the US Open given her overall lack of success there, and her failure to make the semifinals at each of the last two Grand Slams (third round at the French Open, quarterfinals at Wimbledon). However, Rybakina was placed in the "quarter of death" at Wimbledon with Ons Jabeur and Petra Kvitova, but this year's quarter is much more manageable, and she should cash the +175 tickets to reach the semifinals.
