Even though Serena Williams is not the top seed, she is the top favorite to win, listed at +175.

After that there is Venus Williams, the elder sister, who is always a contender.

Venus hasn't won the U.S. Open since 2001, and her results this summer have been spotty. Still, she is pegged at +500 to win and you can't ignore Vegas.

Kim Clijsters (+1200) is back after a two-year maternity leave, and the women's game needs her. Elena Dementieva (+700) has a much-improved serve, but more importantly, she has more confidence after playing an outstanding Wimbledon match against Serena Williams and winning the title in Montreal.

Dinara Safina (+1000) aims to prove she is deserving of the No. 1 ranking and a Grand Slam title sure would help quiet the naysayers.

Looking for a profitable underdog? Try Jelena Jankovic (+1200), Maria Sharapova (+1000), Svetlana Kuznetsova (+2500), or Caroline Wozniacki (+3300).
