2022 US Open: Daniil Medvedev Betting Odds, Picks & Prediction

Aug 29, 2022 - 9:32 AM

Men’s tennis has been heavily dominated by the “Big Three” of Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and Roger Federer for the last two decades. However, the U.S. Open has been the most volatile of the four Grand Slam events in crowning other champions. Djokovic and Nadal won four titles in five years, from 2015-19. However, Dominic Thiem and Daniil Medvedev have won the last two U.S. Opens, with wins by Andy Murray, Marin Cilic, and Stan Wawrinka mixed in over the last decade.

This year’s U.S. Open is even more open on the men’s side after the not-so-shocking announcement that Novak Djokovic would be ineligible to play because of his vaccination status. Thus, Nadal must be the torch bearer as the lone “Big Three” participant. So is it his to win, or will yet another new player throw their name into the mix of Grand Slam champions?

This is the first annual BettingPros Guide to the U.S. Open, where we will highlight several of the top contenders from both the Men’s and Women’s Draws.

Read on for our thoughts and predictions for Daniil Medvedev at the U.S. Open in 2022.

Daniil Medvedev U.S. Open History

Medvedev is looking to become the first back-to-back winner of the U.S. Open since Roger Federer won five consecutive titles from 2004 to 2008. He has made at least the semifinals in each of the last three appearances and improved his results in the first three years of competing at the U.S. Open from 2017-19. Medvedev’s 83% winning percentage (20-4 record) at the U.S. Open is his best of any of the four Grand Slams.

Daniil Medvedev Recent Form

Medvedev has arguably had a disappointing year for the world’s No. 1 ranked player, as he has just one ATP title this season after winning at least four in two of the last three years. While some of his recent results will look disappointing on paper, namely his Round of 32 exit in Montreal, Medvedev was not given any favors with his draw, having to face Nick Kyrgios, one of the hottest players on tour at the time.

Daniil Medvedev U.S. Open Predictions

With Djokovic not being allowed to participate in this event, Medvedev is now the betting favorite, and his odds jumped from +260 (before Djokovic’s news) to +225. However, he was not given any favors with his draw, as a potential meeting with Nick Kyrgios in the Round of 16 awaits. Medvedev should be considered head-and-shoulders above every other player in his section, so he is worth a shot to defend his title, as long as he can overcome the 1-3 head-to-head record against Kyrgios, or avoid him entirely.

The Pick: Medvedev to Win the U.S. Open (+225 on DraftKings)
