Origins of the US Open Odds Game at SBG Global

Not many people are aware, but the US Open odds game is the oldest professional tennis tournament in the world.

US Open betting has been around for more than a century and the US Open odds game has been delighting fans from around the world since 1881. With that kind of longevity is no wonder that the US Open odds game remains one of the fan favorites and one of the best Grand Slam events on tour.

Originally the US Open odds game was established in the wealthy enclave of Newport, RI but after a short in Philly it was relocated to its present home in the New York borough of Queens. US Open betting fans are well aware of the iconic USTA center which plays host to the event. And many US Open tennis betting fans are also aware that the complex which hosts the US Open odds game was renamed for tennis legend Billy Jean King during the 2006 US Open game.

Since 1968, in the age of the modern ‘Open’ era, all the US Open odds games have been held in Queens. The US Open odds game moved here in 1915 and has been a constant on the New York sporting scene ever since. However, prior to the USTA Center construction they US Open odds were disputed at the nearby Forest Hills Club. And the surface at the US Open odds games has also changed several times before the present surface of the acrylic hard court was adopted. An interesting bit of US Open odds lore about the US Open odds game surfaces is that the great Jimmy Connors is the only player to have won the US Open odds game on all three surfaces, former fiancé Chris Evert has won on two of the US Open betting surfaces.

The acrylic surface generally plays fast but is at the same time more absorbent than US Open odds game fans might expect. For many US Open betting fans it’s the perfect surface to showcase a player’s talents. It combines many of the elements of grass, clay and other hard court surfaces and in order to win the US Open odds game a player must be a great all around player.
