The U.S. Open is the final Grand Slam tournament of the year. And by the time a fortnight at Flushing Meadows rolls around, injuries and fatigue have taken their toll on many players over the course of eight months of grueling, globetrotting tennis tournaments.Â
Players are no longer who they were in January. Many of them are tired. Or bored. Some partied too much in the unofficial July wedding season. Most are ready to take a well-earned break.
Perhaps those reasons are why the U.S. Open results can be a little weird. Match results can be unpredictable. Champions can be complete unknowns – especially on the WTA side.
If you’re into tennis betting, it’s often a great tournament for betting underdogs.Â
If you’re more of a traditional tennis fan and just in it for the winners and Slam-counting, these quarterfinal and semifinal players lists can often get pretty dramatic.Â
Take a walk down memory lane and see for yourself.Â
