US Open 2026 Outright Winner Odds: Who Lifts the Title at Flushing Meadows?

The US Open 2026 outright winner odds are already taking shape, and they tell a genuinely interesting story before a single ball has been struck. Jannik Sinner leads the men's market by a wide margin, despite Carlos Alcaraz being the reigning champion, a reflection of just how dominant Sinner's hard-court form has been this year. Here's the full odds breakdown for both draws, and the reasoning behind who's favoured to lift the trophy in New York.

Men's Outright Odds

Sinner enters as the clear favourite on the back of remarkable recent form, 55 wins from 60 matches on hard courts over the past year, including both legs of the Sunshine Double at Indian Wells and Miami. It's a genuinely notable market quirk that he's favoured ahead of Alcaraz, who is technically still the defending champion after beating Sinner in last year's final.

Alcaraz's near four-month absence with a wrist injury explains the gap, and his form on return will be one of the tournament's biggest storylines. Zverev, this year's French Open champion, and four-time US Open winner Novak Djokovic round out the leading chasers.

Women's Outright Odds

Here is a list of the women’s outrights odds:

Sabalenka is chasing a third consecutive US Open title, a feat no woman has managed since Serena Williams. She's been similarly dominant to Sinner on hard courts (39-4 over the past year) and won both legs of the Sunshine Double. Iga Swiatek, the 2022 champion, is next in the betting, with 2023 champion Coco Gauff, world No. 2 Elena Rybakina and French Open champion Mirra Andreeva all considered genuine threats.

How Rare Is a Repeat US Open Title?

Genuinely rare. On the men's side, recent champions have been almost entirely different names year to year, Wawrinka, Nadal, Djokovic, Nadal again, Thiem, Medvedev, Alcaraz, Djokovic, Sinner, and Alcaraz again across the last decade.

Roger Federer's five consecutive titles from 2004-2008 remains the modern benchmark, and nobody has come close since. If Sabalenka wins a third straight this year, it would be a similarly historic achievement, given how demanding New York's hard courts and best-of-three-set rounds are on defending champions.

FAQs: US Open 2026 Outright Odds

Who is favourite to win the US Open 2026?

Jannik Sinner on the men's side and Aryna Sabalenka on the women's side.

Is Carlos Alcaraz the defending US Open champion?

Yes, he beat Jannik Sinner in the 2025 final, but he's priced as the second favourite this year following a lengthy injury layoff.

Why is Sinner favoured over the defending champion?

Sinner's extraordinary hard-court form over the past year (55-5, including the Sunshine Double) outweighs Alcaraz's title-holder status, especially given Alcaraz's near four-month absence with a wrist injury.

Has any woman won three US Opens in a row?

Not since Serena Williams. If Aryna Sabalenka wins this year, it would be her third consecutive US Open title and a genuinely historic achievement.

When does the US Open 2026 start?

The tournament runs from 24 August to 7 September 2026 at Flushing Meadows.
