Online Tennis Betting Odds: 2012 marks the 123rd edition of the US Open, the final tournament on this year's Grand Slam Tennis calendar. The tournament offer plenty of opportunities for US Open tennis betting as it features men’s and women’s singles, men’s and women’s doubles and mixed doubles.

The end of the 2012 Grand Slam season is near, as the US Open at Flushing Meadow get ready to start. It offers the top players in the world one last chance to pick up a big win. For this year, all eyes are fixed on Novak Djokovic, who is in excellent form. The Serb has won both the Australian Open and Wimbledon in 2012 and has risen to the top of the world rankings in the process making him he one to beat.

betting odds for the US Open Tennis Mens Tournament show Djokovic as the clear favourite to win in New York for the very first time. It will not be easy though with the likes of defending Champion Rafa Nadal, five time US Open winner Roger Federer and Andy Murray, who is looking for his first Grand Slam. Mens Tennis is going through a real boom period at the moment and all four will be hoping for a big fortnight in the Big Apple.

Kim Clijsters won back to back US Open's with an easy win over Vera Zvonareva in the Womens final last year and the Belgian will be hoping she is fit to claim a hat trick in 2012. She will face a tough task though with the likes of Serena and Venus Williams coming back to form after injury. It is also worth keeping a close eye on Petra Kvitova who is in great form having won her first Grand Slam at Wimbledon recently.

The Tournament started 128 years ago, but its format has changed these days. The US Open started as an all male tournament, then changed to a mixed Tournament, competed for by virtually every top ranked player in the World. It is a testament to those who founded the competition and they would be delighted to learn that this year over 650.000 spectators will watch the live tennis matches at the Billie Jean King Centre in Flushing and over a billion people will watch worldwide.

US Open Tennis Mens Tournament

The top seed for the Mens Championship is World No.1 and Wimbledon Champion Novak Djokovic who will be hoping to win his 3rd Grand Slam in 2012 to follow up his Australian Open and Wimbledon wins. Rafa Nadal is the defending Champion at Flushing Meadow and will be a major threat as always but he will need to find a way to get past Djokovic who seems to have his number at the moment,

Andy Murray was the finalist three years ago and he will be hoping to go one better in 2012 as he looks to make that break through in a Grand Slam tournament. He reached the Semi-Final at Wimbledon and has risen up the rankings steadily to find himself at No four at the moment. Novak Djokovic has had a decent year and he is always a a danger as he showed in winning the 2008 Australian Open. These three are the top seeds this year. US Open men’s seedings.

The rankings are all important in any Tennis Grand slam and that will be the case at the US Open this season as all the players look to pick up the highest seeding possible before the US Open Tennis Draw is made. All the players will want to be seeded as high as possible as they look to avoid some of the big names in the first week at Flushing Meadow. It will be interesting this year in the Womens draw with Serena Williams likely to go to flushing Meadow without a seeding having been injured and she will be a dangerous floater for the big players in round one.
