How big was Serena Williams’ win over Anett Kontaveit on Wednesday night in the second round of the US Open? Her odds to win the entire tournament jumped all the way from +4000 at Tipico Sportsbook before the match to +1300 on Thursday afternoon.
Eliminating the No. 2 player in the world will do that obviously, but Williams jumped a lot more players in the process. Her odds are now shorter than all but five players in the tournament as she gets set for her third-round match against Ajla Tomljanovic on Friday.
