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 attacking stroke-makers from the baseline — producing distinct prediction market characteristics compared to the clay courts of Roland Garros or the grass at the All England Club.
