⬆️ WATCH: Jannik Sinner tests positive for banned substance, but won't be suspended | Tennis Channel Live ⬆️. Jannik Sinner isn’t known for wild celebrations or overt displays of emotion. But his reaction to winning the Cincinnati Open on Monday was surprisingly understated, even for him. He lifted his arms above his head, and then brought them down again, all while barely cracking a smile. Later, Prakash Amritraj, interviewing the Italian on Tennis Channel, noted Sinner’s relatively somber demeanor and encouraged him to loosen up and enjoy the moment.

The US Open, the final major of the year, is here. On the men’s side, Novak Djokovic is the defending champion. Fresh off winning Olympic gold for the first time, Djokovic will be looking to win a record-setting 25th Grand Slam singles title when he takes the court in Flushing Meadows. Standing in his way will be the usual suspects: Carlos Alcaraz, who has won the last two Grand Slam titles and is the betting favorite; Jannik Sinner, who found his form in Cincinnati and is hoping to add a second major to his resume; Alexander Zverev and Daniil Medvedev, who will be eager to prove that they’re still in the mix; and several other top players.

US Open Men's Betting Preview: Four players without a major you need to know about

There's a lot to unpack when it comes to this year's US Open. Aryna Sabalenka just won Cincinnati, defeating Toronto champion Jessica Pegula in the final. Sabalenka is now the betting favorite to win her third career major in Flushing Meadows. Considering the Belarusian is a two-time Australian Open champion, the oddsmakers prefer her over world No. 1 Iga Swiatek on hard courts. But Swiatek has won the US Open before, and it’s not like hard-court success has escaped her. Meanwhile, Coco Gauff is the defending champion, but the American heads to this event on a poor run of form. It’s also hard to rule out Elena Rybakina, who is one of the biggest servers on tour. This is also an event that feels open to a number of players outside these four.
