2026 U.S. Open odds, predictions, futures: Proven tennis expert reveals picks for women's draw
Hard-court specialist and two-time defending U.S. Open champion Aryna Sabalenka enters as this year's favorite as the main draw of the 2026 U.S. Open begins on Aug. 30 at Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York. Sabalenka will face some strong competition in Iga Swiatek and American Coco Gauff, both former U.S. Open champions. Swiatek has won six Grand Slam singles events, including the French Open four times (2020, 2022, 2023, 2024), Wimbledon (2025) and the U.S. Open in 2022. Gauff won the 2023 U.S. Open and the 2025 French Open. Visit our DraftKings promo code review and get $200 in bonus bets as a new user after $5+ in wagers here :
Sabalenka is +340 in the 2026 U.S. Open odds followed by Swiatek at +480 and Gauff at +500. Other U.S. Open contenders include Naomi Osaka (+1000), Elena Rybakina (+1400), Jessica Pegula (+1400) and Mirra Andreeva (+1400). Before making any 2026 U.S. Open picks, you need to see who proven SportsLine tennis handicapper Jose Onorato is backing .
Onorato grew up playing competitive tennis in Caracas, Venezuela. After coming to the U.S., he trained with famed coach Nick Bollettieri at IMG Academy in Florida and faced players like Robert Farah, now one of the world's top-ranked doubles players.
Onorato has gone 168-106-8 (+107.12 units) on his best bets since 2022. He correctly called Jannik Sinner in the 2025 Australian Open (+160), Carlos Alcaraz (+130) in the 2025 French Open and Sinner again at 2025 Wimbledon (+180). He also called Coco Gauff (+700) in the 2025 French Open and Iga Swiatek (+1200) at 2025 Wimbledon. This year, he nailed Alexander Zverev (+700) in the 2026 French Open. Anybody following his tennis betting picks at sportsbooks and on betting apps could have seen strong returns.
Now, Onorato has scrutinized the latest U.S. Open 2026 odds and released his coveted best bets to win it all. He's sharing all of his picks and analysis at SportsLine .

One of Onorato's surprising U.S. Open picks: He's backing American Coco Gauff at +600. The former U.S. Open champion knows what it takes to win a Grand Slam and should have the crowd behind her. The 22-year-old is coming off a semifinal appearance at Wimbledon last month.
"Gauff is the home favorite and the value play in the middle of the board," Onorato said. "She won this title in 2023 and has the crowd, the movement, and the defensive game that plays so well on these courts. Her serve remains the swing factor. When it holds up she is a top-three player in the world on this surface, and when it wobbles she gives away free points. But she has been in strong form, and a run to a US Open title with a New York crowd behind her is exactly the kind of scenario that lifts her level. At +600, you are getting a former champion in her home Slam at a price that reflects the serve doubt more than her ceiling. That gap is worth taking." See who else to back here .
Onorato has a full preview and is backing another player who is "always undervalued on hard court,". You can only see his U.S. Open 2026 picks and analysis at SportsLine .
