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 hard court surface rewards powerful servers and dominant baseline players — producing distinct prediction market behaviour compared to the slower clay courts of Roland Garros or the grass courts of the All England Club.
