Famous rapper Drake has placed a huge $300,000 bet on Jannik Sinner to win the 2025 US Open. If Sinner wins, Drake could earn about $507,000. But many fans are now wondering, will the “Drake Curse” strike again?
This “curse” is a popular joke on the internet, where teams or athletes that Drake supports often end up losing. In fact, just last year, he lost $210,000 betting on Taylor Fritz to beat Sinner, but Sinner won that match and the title.
So far, Drake hasn’t had great luck with tennis bets. Even though he won some money earlier this year by betting on Sinner at the Australian Open, overall, he has still lost more than he’s won, about $115,000 in total.
Right now, Jannik Sinner is playing well at the US Open. He easily beat Alexander Bublik in the fourth round and is now in the quarterfinals, where he’ll play Lorenzo Musetti next. If Sinner keeps winning and lifts the trophy, Drake’s bet will pay off big.
Fans are watching closely, not just to see if Sinner wins, but also to find out if the “Drake Curse” continues.
