Matches to Watch
Stefanos Tsitsipas (+391) vs. [10] Arthur Fils (-576) is a brutal first-round draw for the former world #3. Tsitsipas (ranked #53, Greece) has gone 24-18 in a frustrating 2026 campaign, and now he walks into Armstrong as a heavy underdog against 22-year-old Fils (ranked #11, France), who has ripped off a 32-10 season with a 21-7 hard-court record. The Greek needs to find his best tennis immediately, or his stay in New York will be a short one.
Matteo Berrettini (-422) vs. Stan Wawrinka (+304) is a Grandstand treat. Berrettini (ranked #37, Italy) is the favorite, but the 41-year-old Wawrinka (ranked #94, Switzerland), a former world #3, has never been a player anyone wants to see across the net in a Grand Slam first round. At +304, this line feels generous for one of the most decorated players in the draw.
[20] Maja Chwalinska (+183) vs. Taylor Townsend (-237) flips the script: the seed is the underdog. The left-handed Chwalinska (ranked #21, Poland) has gone 30-14 this season, but DraftKings trusts the left-handed Townsend (ranked #96, USA) as a clear favorite on the Grandstand. Two lefties, contrasting styles, and a line that says the seeding committee and the oddsmakers disagree.
Nuno Borges (+164) vs. [14] Learner Tien (-211) pits the 20-year-old left-handed American Tien (ranked #15) against the steady Borges (ranked #41, Portugal) on Stadium 17. Tien has gone 26-15 this season, but Borges is the kind of experienced, physical opponent who can make a young player uncomfortable. The tight line reflects the danger.
Biggest Favorites
[1] Aryna Sabalenka (-1700) is the heaviest favorite on the entire Day 2 card, and it is not close. The world #1 has been dominant in 2026 with a 40-8 record (27-3 on hard courts) and opens her title bid on Ashe against Camila Osorio (ranked #59, Colombia). The -1700 line implies a 94% win probability.
Hubert Hurkacz (-1420) is unseeded, but his massive serve should have little trouble with Damir Dzumhur (ranked #161, Bosnia and Herzegovina) on Court 12.
[16] Sorana Cirstea (-1320) has quietly posted an 18-7 hard-court record in 2026. The 36-year-old Romanian (ranked #17) faces Julia Grabher (ranked #112, Austria) on Court 10 and should cruise.
[8] Iga Swiatek (-1300) anchors the Armstrong night session. The former world #1 (ranked #8, Poland) has gone 21-7 on hard courts this season and opens against Xiyu Wang (ranked #80, China). Swiatek’s seeding may not reflect her talent, but the oddsmakers certainly do.
[17] Jakub Mensik (-1040) rounds out the top five. The 21-year-old Czech (ranked #18) has a 21-9 hard-court record and faces qualifier Shintaro Mochizuki (ranked #117, Japan) on Court 5.
Upset Watch
Viktorija Golubic (-107) vs. Diane Parry (-118) is the tightest women’s line on the board. Golubic (ranked #62, Switzerland) and Parry (ranked #43, France) meet on Court 9 with virtually nothing separating them. Parry’s 15-9 hard-court mark gives her a slight edge, but this match could go either way.
Yannick Hanfmann (+111) vs. [25] Alejandro Tabilo (-141) offers the best seed-upset value on the men’s side. Hanfmann (ranked #54, Germany) is barely an underdog against the left-handed Chilean 25th seed (ranked #28) on Court 6. Tabilo’s 10-8 hard-court record does not exactly scream invincibility.
