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.

Platipus Secures Ontario Supplier Licence

Platipus Gaming has officially obtained a supplier licence to operate in the province of Ontario, Canada. This licence allows the company to provide gaming content to licensed operators in the province and represents a significant milestone in Platipus’ ongoing focus on regulatory alignment, operational consistency, and responsible product supply.

Importance for Operators

For Ontario-licensed operators, partnering with a licensed supplier like Platipus ensures that content is delivered in line with AGCO requirements. This reduces the need for additional regulatory assessments and supports smoother integration of third-party content into licensed operations. All products are designed and supplied with responsible gambling and player protection in mind, adhering to the technical and operational standards required by the Commission.

Strategic Significance for Platipus Gaming

The Ontario licence is a reflection of Platipus’ compliance-by-design philosophy. Regulatory considerations are integrated early in the development process, rather than being addressed as a final checkpoint. This approach ensures that products, processes, and operational structures are prepared for regulated environments from the outset.

Operating under AGCO also positions Platipus to engage with other regulated markets where Ontario standards are often referenced as benchmarks. The licence supports the company’s long-term goal of maintaining consistent product quality, operational reliability, and responsible content supply across multiple jurisdictions.

Company Perspectives

A spokesperson from the Legal Department commented: “We are pleased to receive our supplier licence in Ontario and to make our gaming content and solutions available. Following a comprehensive application process, we can now formally present this achievement as part of our regulated market presence.”

Viktoriia Andreasen, Head of Marketing, added: “Ontario stands out as a well-structured and highly organised jurisdiction. It represents an important regulated market with strong operational standards”.

Ontario supplier licence confirms that Platipus can deliver content in one of the world’s most tightly regulated iGaming markets, with all technical, operational, and compliance requirements addressed.

This milestone represents more than a geographic expansion. It signals that Platipus Gaming has structured processes, robust governance, and a compliance-focused development approach, supporting sustainable regulated operations and long-term market participation.
