Simona Halep has a second chance to win the US Open – Iga Svyatek is the first

The bookmakers have updated the odds for the US Open 2022 and the big favorite to win in New York is Iga Sviatek, the world leader.

Recent Toronto (WTA 1000) champion Simona Halep is tipped by the bookies to have a second chance to lift the trophy at the mammoth Arthur Ashe.

Players like Cory Gauff, Aryna Sabalenko and Olena Rybakina (2022 Wimbledon champion) are in the distance.

Iga Svyatek ~ 4.5 shares

Simona Halep ~ 8.5

Corey Gauff ~ 15

Aryna Sabalenko ~ 18

Olena Rybakina ~ 18.

The New York champion a year ago (arriving from qualifying), Emma Reducanu is not really considered by the betting agencies, given a ~30 chance to repeat the 2021 feat in the last Grand Slam of the season.
