Lleton Hewitt will continue his status as underdog at the US Open despite making it to the Final 16, priced as the $2.38 outsider with online bookmaker sportsbet to defeat Mikhail Youzhny ($1.59) in Round 4.

With Hewitt surprising everyone in New York, punters can also bet on just how far his run will go, with $1.80 for him to be eliminated in Round 4, $2.20 in the Quarter Finals, $15 in the Semi Final, $34 to be the Runner Up and $67 to go all the way.

“Hewitt is on the roll but the punters are still a bit wary and there hasn’t been a lot of interest in him. But if he wins the next one we are expecting a heap of patriotic money to come!” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

Hewitt’s odds to go all the way have fluctuated dramatically over the past days. He opened as a $151 long shot and was once as long as $401 on Saturday 31st August.
