US Open Tennis Trading: Who’s hot now that Novak has turned to No-vak?

Cloudbet’s tennis experts assess the latest moves in the betting market after the world number one’s bizarre exit from Flushing Meadows

7th September 2020 – In the end, it wasn’t the pandemic that upended the US Open men’s singles tournament. Instead, it was a poorly directed heave at the back fence, which left a line judge reeling, that put paid to Novak Djokovic’s quest for an 18th Grand Slam title and blew the race wide open for the rest of the field.

Above all, that comment applies to four talented Next Gen players, each desperate for their breakthrough Grand Slam victory. Now that the Djoker has joined the other members of the “Big Three” – Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer – on the sidelines as mere spectators, Cloudbet takes a look at the best of the rest.

Daniil Medvedev (No. 3 seed)

Title odds: 2.78/+178

Medvedev is hungry for his first Grand Slam title after coming close in an epic five-setter against Nadal here last year. He’s one of the youngsters touted as a champion-in-waiting, as soon as time is called on the Big Three, and has drawn comparisons to Djokovic for his ability to dominate and win long, tiring stand-offs. The Russian is in ominous form, having not dropped more than four games in any set in his three matches so far, including a casual straight-sets victory over JJ Wolf in the third round.

Dominic Thiem (No. 2 seed) 

Title odds 4.24/+324

Thiem is chasing his breakout Grand Slam after three finals appearances, the last of which was a five-set loss in this year’s Australian Open to Djokovic – before Covid-19 put a temporary halt on most of the sporting world. Thiem put in an imperious service performance on Sunday by dropping only eight points on his first serve in a four-set victory over Marin Cilic to advance to the quarterfinals.

Alexander Zverev (No. 5 seed)

Title odds: 4.47/+347

Zverev is in the quarterfinals of the US Open for the first time, thanks to a commanding service game featuring the 18 aces he deployed against an injury-slowed Alexandro Davidovich Fokina in the round of 16. Zverev will be keen to improve on his last Grand Slam appearance, a semifinal loss at this year’s Australian Open to his good friend Thiem.

Denis Shapovalov (No. 12 seed)

Title odds: 9.38/+838

Shapovalov, who was himself disqualified for rifling a ball into an umpire’s face in the 2017 Davis Cup, has matured a lot since. He made history Sunday night by becoming the first Canadian to advance to a US Open men’s quarterfinals after beating David Goffin in four sets. It will also be Shapovalov’s first career appearance in any Grand Slam quarterfinal when he faces Pablo Carreno Busta. Carreno Busta, the 20th seed and welcome beneficiary of Djokovic’s misdirected moment of misfortune, holds a 3-1 head-to-head record against Shapovalov.

Prices are current as of 8 am UCT on 7 September.

ThrillTech has been awarded a Gaming-Related Supplier licence by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), clearing the company to launch in Ontario’s regulated market.

The licence allows ThrillTech to deploy its opt-in side bet jackpots technology with regulated online casino, sports betting and lottery operators across the province.

Benjamin Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, said: “Securing our AGCO licence is a major step in our mission to transform how jackpots are delivered at scale across regulated markets. This latest certification is testament to our robust technology and trusted compliance frameworks, allowing us to continue our global growth trajectory. We are thrilled to bring our proven, compliant jackpot technology to Ontario, empowering locally licensed operators to uplift revenue without cannibalising existing spend.”

The company said its “ThrillPots” mechanics sit as an independent, player-funded side bet and do not alter the underlying game’s return-to-player mathematics.

ThrillTech said the Ontario approval enables its existing multinational partners that also operate in the province to launch its side bet jackpots locally, while it also holds talks with potential new operator partners. The company lists its regulated footprint as including the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Gibraltar, Brazil and Peru.

ThrillTech said it has been awarded a Gaming-Related Supplier licence by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), clearing the company to offer its side-bet jackpot technology to regulated online casino, sports betting, and lottery operators in Ontario.

The company said its ThrillPots product lets operators add player-funded, opt-in side-bet jackpots on top of existing games, without changing gameplay or the underlying return-to-player (RTP) calculations. ThrillTech positions the mechanic as a way to drive incremental engagement and revenue.

ThrillTech said the Ontario licence enables existing multinational partners that also operate in the province to roll out ThrillTech-powered jackpots locally, and added it is in discussions with potential new operator partners. The company listed other regulated jurisdictions it serves as the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Gibraltar, Brazil, and Peru.

Casino games aggregator and full-service technology provider St8 has secured its registration to operate in Alberta as an iGaming Services Supplier, marking another significant milestone in the company’s strategy to expand across North America’s regulated iGaming markets.

St8 was among the first suppliers to secure a conditional approval granted by the AGLC, underlining the company’s readiness to support operators as the province prepares to open its regulated iGaming market.

Alberta represents a key market in St8’s North American growth strategy and follows the company’s expansion into Ontario earlier this year. With its latest approval, St8 is now regulated in some of the industry’s most sought-after jurisdictions, including Sweden, the UK, Romania, and Ontario, among others.

The Alberta approval enables St8 to provide its next-generation game aggregation services to licensed operators in Alberta, giving partners access to more than 200 premium game providers through a single API integration, alongside bonus and promotional tools, advanced reporting, compliance capabilities, and a suite of operational features designed to simplify casino management.

Purpose-built with modern infrastructure and regulatory flexibility at its core, the St8 software enables operators to launch premium casino content quickly, while also reducing the operational complexity typically associated with multi-provider integrations and expansion into new markets.

This registration builds on St8’s growing presence in regulated jurisdictions and reinforces the company’s commitment to supporting operators with scalable, compliant technology as new opportunities emerge across North America and beyond.

With compliance, speed and operational efficiency at the heart of its product, St8 remains focused on helping operators enter new markets with confidence while delivering seamless access to premium casino content through a single integration.

Eva Alšauskaite, Head of Legal at St8, said: “Securing our Alberta supplier registration represents another important step in St8’s international growth strategy and reflects our continued investment in regulated markets.

“As jurisdictions continue to evolve, operators need technology partners that combine innovation with a deep understanding of regulatory requirements. Obtaining this registration demonstrates our commitment to meeting those standards while providing operators with a solution that makes expansion into regulated markets as simple and efficient as possible.”
