The 2024 US Open women's tournament begins on Monday, Aug. 26, and runs through Sept. 7, as World No. 1 Iga Swiatek tries to win the tournament for the second time in her career. She is coming off a disappointing showing in the Paris Olympics, failing to win the gold medal as a heavy favorite. Swiatek is +350 in the 2024 US Open odds, sitting behind favorite Aryna Sabalenka (+210). Defending champion Coco Gauff is third on the tennis odds board at +1000.
Gauff defeated Sabalenka in the final last year, but she has been in poor form recently. Will Gauff bounce back and defend her title, or should your 2024 US Open women's tennis bets include Sabalenka or Swiatek? A champion will be crowned on Saturday, Sept. 7, at 4 p.m. ET. Before making any 2024 US Open picks for the women's singles tournament, you need to see who proven SportsLine tennis handicapper Jose Onorato is backing.
Onorato grew up playing competitive tennis in Caracas, Venezuela. After coming to the U.S., he trained with famed coach Nick Bollettieri at IMG Academy in Florida and faced players like Robert Farah, now one of the world's top-ranked doubles players.
Onorato, who holds dual degrees in finance and economics from the University of Miami, does extensive research before placing any tennis bets. He studies current form, players' tendencies on a particular surface, weather conditions and many other relevant factors. That systematic approach has helped Onorato go 168-106-8 (+107.12 units) since 2022. In the 2024 French Open, he correctly picked Iga Swiatek (-160) to win the women's title.
Now, Onorato has scrutinized the latest US Open 2024 odds and released his coveted best bets to win it all. He's sharing all of his picks and analysis at SportsLine.
Top 2024 US Open women's predictions
Onorato is fading Swiatek, who won this tournament in 2022 and is the top seed. Swiatek is considered a favorite in any tournament she enters right now, but this is clearly not her best surface. She lost to Sabalenka in straight sets in the semifinals in Cincinnati last week, despite closing as a -180 favorite.
Swiatek has struggled to meet expectations on this surface, with her 2022 triumph remaining her only hard-court grand slam title. In fact, she has not made it past the fourth round at a hard-court slam since then, falling in the third round of the Australian Open earlier this season. Swiatek continues to be priced as a favorite, but Onorato does not see any value at this price. See who else to back and fade here.
