Lots of tennis for fans and punters ahead of US Open
With the last Grand Slam tournament of the year starting in New York later this month, there will be a lot of interest in a range of professional tennis tournaments being played around the world in the build-up to the US Open.
With tight battles expected for the prestigious trophies at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Centre, punters will have multiple opportunities to not only monitor the form of players heading into the tournament, but also potentially make some cash along the way.
Two big tournaments are being held this week, with elite international stars looking for a boost in confidence as they compete at the Cincinnati Open and the Canadian Open, both being contested on the ATP and WTA tours.
Bets are available at Betway for singles and doubles contests, with options to back match winners or winners of specific sets, among others.
Challenger Tour
In addition, Betway is offering various bets at lower-tier Challenger Tour events being played this week in Italy, Germany, Poland and Chicago.
Meanwhile outright bets are also available for those who are already looking to back a player to win the US Open which starts on August 24.
Italian player Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus will turn out as the defending men's and women's champions.
The seedings for the tournament will be based on the world rankings to be released on August 18.

Potgieter, Van Rooyen long shots in first event of FedExCup Playoffs
The first tournament of three in the 2025 season-ending FedExCup Playoffs takes place in Memphis, Tennessee this week. The 2025 PGA Tour season concludes over the next three weeks, with the three-event FedExCup Playoffs taking place in America. First-up from Thursday to Sunday is the FedEx St Jude Championship, being played at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee. Hideki Matsuyama is back to defend his title, along with FedExCup frontrunner and world number one Scottie Scheffler. The field includes the top 69 players over the course of the season and this includes two South Africans, namely Aldrich Potgieter and Erik van Rooyen. The top 50 finishers at this week's event move on to next week's BMW Championship, extending their season by a week and earning them spots in the 2026 Signature Events on the PGA Tour. Following the BMW Championship, the best 30 will advance to the Tour Championship. Betway has plenty of different betting options, including the leaders after each round, whether there will be a hole-in-one, a playoff, and winning margin, among others. Of course they also have odds on the eventual winner on Sunday. Scottie Scheffler is the favourite, at 3.55, followed by Xander Schauffele at 16.10. Potgieter is at 300.00 and Van Rooyen at 325.00 — perhaps worth a shot? These odds are correct at time of publishing and subject to change.
