2022 US Open Tennis Predictions

With the 2021 tennis calendar now ending, it is time to look ahead to matters in 2022 and although the first port of call for many, will be the upcoming Australian Open, it will not be the case for Novak Djokovic.

As the Serbian has constantly made public of the fact that he is unwilling to take on a COVID-19 vaccine, it means that he will be unable to compete in the first Grand Slam of the year and this will be a shame for both he and tennis fans all over the world.

Because a Djokovic in full flight is one of the greatest sights in sport let alone tennis and although he will be deprived of taking to the courts in Australia, that is not necessarily the case when it comes to the 2022 US Open.

One that will once again be held at the stunning location of Flushing Meadows and with the New York sports betting community already anticipating the next edition of the legendary tournament, they will soon be able to back their favourites in the pursuit of victory.

Although it is too early to know the full entrants list, you can be certain that as long as restrictions do not stop him from doing so, last year’s Men’s Singles runner-up will be looking to go one better in 2022.

That’s because in the 2021 edition of the final, it was the Serbian ace going up against Dannii Medvedev and although many bettors would have placed the 34-year-old to win on their betting slip, they actually ended up making the wrong decision.

One that certainly stunned the tennis world, as Medvedev won in straight sets and although each set was a close contest, the fact that the Russian won three in a row, was something of a considerable upset.

Then again, it would be unfair to denigrate the 2021 US Open winner’s talents and with the Russian being given second seed in the tournament draw, the fact that he reached the final should come as no surprise.

It was the manner in which he earned a first ever Grand Slam victory, that was the upset and after suffering defeat to Rafael Nadal during the 2019 final, the 25-year-old has finally scaled tennis’ highest mountain.
