Carlos Alcaraz is getting ready to defend his US Open title at the Arthur Ashe Stadium in just two weeks. The world No.1 is feeling confident after his Wimbledon success and is likely to get the same attention as many of the current Broadway blockbusters.
The King of Queens won't start his defence until Wednesday night, giving him a chance to relax and get in the right frame of mind before the start of the tournament. He could also take the chance to make a short walk to Citi Field and reflect on the state of play with the Mets. Their expensive winter investments haven't paid off this season and it's a valuable lesson to Alcaraz that sporting success is never guaranteed and the underdog can always have his day.
Alcaraz is a smart cookie and should be backed to win the title, while it's expected that Djokovic will be his opponent for the showpiece showdown. For those looking for some value, he is 17/10 with Unibet and BetUK to win by over 10.5 games.
The women's singles tournament has an interesting contender in Jessica Pegula. Her parents own the Buffalo Bills and she is each-way value at 12/1 with BetUK and Unibet to win the grand slam.
Tottenham, Leeds, Ipswich and Bournemouth form our first Carabao Cup yankee of the season and they are 19/20 to win in normal time tonight with Betfair.
Finally, Viktor Hovland's success at the BMW Championship and the Tour Championship, as well as his win of the FedEx Cup and the £14million jackpot, is something to be commended. He followed up our tip to win both tournaments and is a great example of the underdog having his day.
