Predicted for 13. September 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
After Sinner's withdrawal (knee, August 21, 2026), Alcaraz leads the draw as de-facto top seed. Bookmaker odds imply ~42% tournament-win probability (+140 moneyline), translating to ~65% final probability. After a dominant R3 win (6-3, 6-4, 6-1 vs Wu Yibing) and Djokovic's shock R1 exit, Alcaraz's half is wide open. Zverev is his only credible SF threat.
Data basis for this prediction
- Alcaraz Moneyline +140 ≈ 42 % Turniersieg (The Big Lead / Covers.com, 5.9.2026)
- Sinner-Rückzug: ATP Tour / ESPN, 21.8.2026
- US Open R3-Ergebnis Alcaraz: USTA / ATP, 4.9.2026
- Djokovic R1-Aus: AP / NY Times, 1.9.2026
Verdict: Miss
Carlos Alcaraz schied im Viertelfinale der US Open 2026 gegen Ben Shelton aus (Match-Ende um 3:33 Uhr morgens, neuer Rekord in der Turniergeschichte). Das Finale bestritten Alexander Zverev und Ben Shelton – Zverev gewann 6–3, 7–6(2), 5–7, 6–2 seinen zweiten Grand-Slam-Titel. Alcaraz erreichte damit nicht das Finale. Die Vorhersage identifizierte Zverev korrekt als potenziellen Gegner, unterschätzte aber Shelton als konkretes Ausscheidungsrisiko für Alcaraz.

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. With four remaining races (Brazil, Las Vegas, Qatar, Abu Dhabi) and this cushion, even a mediocre Las Vegas result suffices. Bookmaker odds imply >85% for Mercedes' 2026 constructors' title.

Bookmaker odds imply ~38% win probability for Max Verstappen (moneyline +160). He won the São Paulo GP today and holds the Las Vegas track record from 2025, where he dominated by ~20 seconds. Since Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes) already secured the 2026 World Championship in Mexico, the remaining battle is for 2nd in the standings between Verstappen, Russell, Hamilton and Leclerc (within ~9 points). Verstappen is highly motivated to collect wins. Competition: George Russell +400, Kimi Antonelli +700, Lewis Hamilton +2800. The night race on the Las Vegas Strip historically favors Red Bull and Verstappen's driving style.
