Record YTD: 120-80, 60% (+30.00 units)
Not having a great August so far. Only up a couple units or so for the month, but usually these big tournaments go well.
Andy Murray to win US Open (+1300)
I really like him getting these great odds here. His biggest challenge before he has to worry about the big three would be in the quarters where he could potentially face Del Porto, who is one of the hottest players on tour right now. I know some will say well how about Ferrer, who is ranked #4? Ferrer is not as good as Murray and will most likely be taken out by Del Porto if they were to meet up in the round of 16. Wawa and Simon are the other threats in his bracket, both of which he should beat. Once he gets deep there is a good chance to hedge, or let it ride. He beat Nadal a month ago so it isn't impossible for him to beat him again on hard court.
Caroline Wozniacki to win US Open (+2200)
Possibly the best young star on tour. I am very high on this girl and she will win a major title sooner rather than later. She might be ranked #21, but she is a top 10 player on tour easy, which is why only 7 girls have lower odds than her to win the tournament. Her first real big test in the tournament should come in the third round against Azarenka, but Caroline should be able to handle her. In the fourth round she has what should be a great matchup if it does indeed happen with Jelena Jankovic. I'm not sure how many people remember this, but they had one of the best womans matches at Wimbledon about 2 months ago where Caroline almost pulled off the upset. She's only improved since then and built up her confidence. She really wouldn't be too big of an underdog in that game. Maybe +175 would be my guess, and if all goes as planned that will be the point in which I have to decide whether to hedge or not. Jelena also goes down with injuries often so who knows if she'll even last that long. There's definitely value either way at 22/1.
Will have first round plays in a bit.
