Yes, if he plays definitely he will be the betting favorites and I will love to see him sweating to get that US Open trophy again, LOL. I'm also thinking that same, without fans that are going to boo at him, he can really focus on his opponent, unless his opponent is really distracting like Nick "the bad boy" Kyrgios.
But as I have said, I doubt that he can be affected by fans going hostile and booing him, he has been used to that environment before.
He is the favorite to win the US open trophy especially without fans.
But from the moment, crowd is back allowed, it will be different times. Because then, the amount of booing against him will be x10, can he cope with that? I have my doubts.
