Online bookies have made their picks for the upcoming US Open Tennis Championships and they have set Roger Federer at the top of the list. The Championships are set to begin this Monday at Flushing Meadows in New York City and the online sports book seem to think that Federer will be earning his sixth consecutive men’s singles title in New York.

ToteSport and Boyle Sports have Federer at 11/10 odds while Paddy Power, Bet365, 888Sport, StanJames and Ladbrokes have him at 5/4 odds. Victor Chandler and ExtraBet have Federer at 11/8 odds while WBX has him at 31/21 odds.

The second favorite player to win is Andy Murray. He just barely lost to Federer in the semi-finals at Wimbledon and sports books expect him to do well during this event. Coral and ExtraBet have Murray at 9/4 odds while William Hill, BoyleSports and Bet365 have Murray at
5/2 odds.

Fans and bettors will have to wait and see on September 13th who will be the player left on top. The final will be taking place on that date at the United States Tennis Association Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.
