Overview

• Drake shared a betting‑slip screenshot showing a $300,000 futures wager on Jannik Sinner to win the US Open, which would pay about $507,000 if successful.
• World No. 1 Sinner reached the last eight by routing Alexander Bublik 6-1, 6-1, 6-1 and has dropped only one set across four matches.
• Sinner will play compatriot Lorenzo Musetti in the quarterfinals on Wednesday night in New York.
• Fans and outlets referenced the so‑called 'Drake curse' given his high‑profile losses, including $210,000 on Taylor Fritz in the 2024 final, though he previously won a bet on Sinner at the Australian Open.
• Sinner is the betting favorite for the title, which carries roughly $5 million in prize money compared with Drake’s potential $507,000 payout.
