The 2026 US Open is the last Grand Slam of the year as the best players in the world battle to write their name into the history books.
Carlos Alcaraz was the reigning champion heading into the tournament, but he was dumped out in the quarter-finals in one of the great matches against Ben Shelton.
You can see the latest odds for the 2026 men’s US Open in the table below.
| 2026 Men’s US Open Winner | Odds |
|---|---|
| Alexander Zverev | 1.90 |
| Ben Shelton | 2.50 |
| Frances Tiafoe | 10.00 |
| Karen Khachanov | 15.00 |
Carlos Alcaraz arrived for the final Grand Slam of the year as the reigning champion after triumphing back in 2025. However, he was left stunned by Ben Shelton in a 3-2 loss that has blown the whole competition wide open.
Three of the four that would have been seen as favourites have already fallen or failed to make it to the tournament. Jannik Sinner missed out through injury, Novak Djokovic was knocked out in the first round and Alcaraz fell ahead of the semi-finals.
This leaves Alexander Zverev, who has now been installed as the major favourite for the trophy. He is followed by Ben Shelton, with Frances Tiafoe and Karen Khachanov the underdogs.
Zverev has often been very hit and miss at major events and will not be given any leeway. With Sinner and Djokovic not appearing at the tournament, Alcaraz's exit means Zverev is seen as having a straight run.
With the tournament hurtling towards its conclusion, one bad set could be the difference between someone taking their place in the final or missing out completely.
While Zverev and Shelton are the favourites for the silverware, they will have to be in top gear across the tournament. Can either of the duo win the final Slam of the year, or will one of their competitors stun the world of tennis?
