Why Is Taylor Fritz at 6% to Win the U.S. Open?
The market is giving Fritz a meaningful chance without placing him among the top tier of title favorites. Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev currently occupy the top two spots in the market, while Novak Djokovic is also priced ahead of Fritz.
Fritz's case starts with his history in New York. He reached the U.S. Open final in 2024 before losing to Jannik Sinner, then returned to the quarterfinals in 2025 before being eliminated by Djokovic.
That experience matters in a men's field that enters this year's tournament with more uncertainty than usual. Fritz has already shown he can survive the pressure of a deep run at Flushing Meadows, and he arrives with recent hard-court success.
Fritz Brings Strong Summer Form Into New York
Fritz won the Washington title earlier this month, beating Rafael Jodar in the final after a five-match championship run.
His next stop was more difficult. Fritz lost his opening match in Montreal, but responded by winning three matches in Cincinnati before Brandon Nakashima beat him 7-6(9), 4-6, 6-3 in the quarterfinals.
That leaves Fritz with a recent tournament title and another hard-court quarterfinal on his résumé heading into the final Grand Slam of the season.
What Does Taylor Fritz's U.S. Open Draw Look Like?
The No. 9 seed opens against fellow American Darwin Blanch.
If Fritz advances as expected through the early rounds, Francisco Cerundolo could be his first seeded opponent. Flavio Cobolli is a potential fourth-round matchup, followed by a possible quarterfinal against Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Alexander Zverev could then be waiting in the semifinals if both players make it that far.
The draw gives Fritz a realistic route into the second week, but his 6% market price reflects how quickly the difficulty rises once he gets there.
Can Taylor Fritz Win His First Grand Slam?
Fritz has already come closer than any American man in years, reaching the 2024 U.S. Open final, and his recent Washington title gives him another encouraging result on North American hard courts.
The question is whether he can turn another deep run into seven victories.
At roughly 6%, Kalshi traders are giving Fritz a better chance than most of the field, but he remains well behind the tournament's leading contenders. A strong opening week, combined with movement elsewhere in his section of the draw, could change that price quickly.
The Fritz contract resolves Yes if he wins the 2026 U.S. Open men's singles championship. A loss, withdrawal or other official elimination from title contention resolves the contract No.
