Watch and bet on the US Open at bet365

(PRESS RELEASE) -- There is some fantastic tennis action to look forward to this week as the final Grand Slam of the year gets underway on the hard courts of Flushing Meadows.

Roger Federer heads to New York full of confidence after securing a record 8th Wimbledon title. Standing in his way will be 2013 U.S. Open winner Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray, who will be hoping to improve on a disappointing year by regaining the trophy he last won in 2012.

In the women's draw, Angelique Kerber will be aiming to defend her title from a host of challengers, including Wimbledon winner Garbine Muguruza and last year's finalist Karolina Pliskova. Maria Sharapova returns looking to emulate her U.S. Open win back in 2006, while home favorite Venus Williams will have the crowd behind her as she chases an eighth major title.

Players can watch the drama unfold via bet365 Sportsbook & Racebook's fantastic live streaming service and as always, there will be an extensive range of In-Play betting opportunities available throughout the tournament with markets including Next Point Winner, Next Game Winner, Next Set Winner and Match Winner.

With bet365's tennis accumulator offer, players can earn a bonus of up to 50% on winnings when placing accumulators on singles and doubles matches from any Grand Slam, ATP, WTA or Challenger Tour event, as well as singles and doubles matches from the Davis Cup, Fed Cup and Hopman Cup. Place a pre-match accumulator of two or more selections on To Win Match, First Set Winner and Set Betting markets on any of the above competitions, and if successful, bet365 will add a bonus to returns.

The maximum bonus that players can receive is £100,000 or currency equivalent. The bonus will not apply where a stake has been fully cashed out. Where a stake has been partially cashed out, the bonus will be calculated based on the remaining active stake. If a qualifying bet is edited using our Edit Bet feature, the bonus will be calculated based on the new stake. Where a bet has been edited to include or amend a selection for an event that is in-play, the bonus will no longer apply. Combination bets with bonuses such as Lucky 15s or Lucky 31s do not apply for this offer.

With live streaming, a great selection of pre-match and in-play markets and the tennis accumulator bonus, players can get great value on all tennis betting at bet365.
