Probability
44%

Carlos Alcaraz exited in R2 to Jaime Faria (POR) in one of the biggest US Open upsets in years (ATP points dropped from 7,160 to 5,210). Jannik Sinner withdrew pre-tournament with a knee injury. The draw opened up considerably. Zverev (top seed, 2026 French Open champion) is the clear favorite in a weakened field. Historical base rate: top-seed win rate in weakened fields ~40–45%. No separate Polymarket market for Zverev's win available; estimated at ~44%.

Verdict: Hit
Alexander Zverev gewann die US Open 2026 im Herren-Einzel. Er besiegte im Finale am 13. September 2026 Ben Shelton (USA) mit 6–3, 7–6(2), 5–7, 6–2. Es war sein zweiter Grand-Slam-Titel des Jahres nach den French Open 2026. Die Vorhersage traf vollständig zu: Zverev war Top-Seed und gewann in einem durch Sinner-Absage und Alcaraz-Frühausscheiden geschwächten Feld.

Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team clinches the 2026 Formula 1 Constructors' Championship at the Las Vegas Grand Prix (November 21–22, 2026)

Mercedes leads the constructors' standings with 630 points over Ferrari (504) by a 126-point margin (as of Nov 8, 2026; source: grandepremio.com / skysports.com). According to grandepremio.com, the Las Vegas GP (Nov 20–22) is the earliest possible race for a mathematical title decision: a lead of ≥86 points after the race would clinch the constructors' title early.
