In this guide
The US Open stands as the year's concluding Grand Slam tournament, contested on hard courts at Flushing Meadows during August and September. The rapid surface of hard courts rewards powerful servers and dominant baseline hitters — a dynamic that shapes prediction market behaviour quite differently from the clay courts of Roland Garros or the grass of the All England Club.

US Open-Specific Trading Edge

- Pre-tournament momentum: The US Open follows Wimbledon and preceding hard court tournaments — performance during July and August carries the most weight
