2023 US Open Odds, Picks & Predictions: Iga Swiatek

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: Iga Swiatek

Here is our betting outlook for 2023 US Open.

2023 US Open Betting Predictions

So much for Iga Swiatek being a clay-court specialist. Many pegged Swiatek as a player likely to accumulate most of her Grand Slam titles at Roland Garros (she has won three of the last four French Open titles) ala Rafael Nadal, but Swiatek hushed those critics with a fantastic run to a US Open title last year. Swiatek successfully defended last year's French Open title with a win this year, and can use the momentum from a WTA-leading four titles this year, along with semifinal appearances at Indian Wells, Montreal, and Cincinnati, to defend her US Open title for the first time.

2023 US Open Betting Advice & Picks

Swiatek has showed a slight crack in the armor with hard-court losses this summer to Jessica Pegula and Cori Gauff, so we are passing on her short +240 pre-tournament US Open odds as a result.
