The US Open stands as the year's concluding Grand Slam tournament, contested on hard courts at Flushing Meadows during late summer. The rapid hard court surface rewards powerful servers and forceful baseline players — producing distinct prediction market patterns compared to the slower clay surfaces of Roland Garros or the grass courts of the All England Club.
