2023 US Open Semifinal Odds

Novak Djokovic (-108) vs Ben Shleton (+700)

The odds clearly favourite the 23-time Grand Slam champion. And why not? Look he is one of the best players of all time. Knows how to win big matches, especially at this point in the tournament. However, he is only 3-6 in the finals of the US Open. He has a better winning percentage at the other tournaments.

The pressure is on him to win and get to the final again. He understands the young players are going after him and they want his scalp as he said at Wimbledon. Djokovic has looked different in this tournament. Though he had to rally in the third round from two sets down, Novak is playing with an edge.

However, Shelton is playing with house money. He has a big game and a big serve that could give Djokovic problems. However, if Shelton thinks he is breaking Djokovic as he did against Frances Tiafoe in that wacky third quarterfinal match on Tuesday night, he has another thing coming.

Shelton will need to hold serve and find a way to break or win a tiebreak to win this match. Djokovic knows how to adjust. And he will as the greats always do. Maybe Shelton gets a set, but expect straight sets here.

Carlos Alcaraz (+125) vs Daniil Medvedev (+373)

The second gentlemen’s semifinal features two men who have won the US Open in the past. Alcaraz is looking to become the first man since Roger Federer (2004-2008) to defend the title in New York. Medvedev won the title in 2021. This has the chance to go five sets, but the way Alcaraz is playing too it might not as their Wimbledon match didn’t.

Alcaraz holds a 2-1 edge over Medvedev after his win in the Wimbledon semifinals. Carlitos is flying out there. His serve, forehand, and backhand are so on point. Alcaraz is not afraid to come to the net either. And with the way Medvedev stands so far back, expect a lot of drop shots and serve and volley plays.

Look Medvedev can play a spoiler as he did in 2021 stopping Djokovic from completing the calendar Grand Slam, but the way he has been struggling in the conditions, that will play a factor. Though it bothers him, Medvedev does not show it. He defeated fellow countryman Andrey Rublev in straights. Rublev is now 0-9 in major quarterfinals.

Both players can hit the ball with such force. However, Alcaraz is playing on another level right now. He is cruising through the tournament. Not like last year where it was five set epics through the final. His body is fresh.

Expect Djokovic-Alcaraz on Sunday for the title.

That does it for your 2023 US Open Men’s Semifinals betting odds preview.
