Miss ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 25. August 2026 · Predicted for 2. September 2026 · Based on: Historical Cycle

Probability

82%

Alcaraz is the defending US Open champion and, following Jannik Sinner's withdrawal (knee injury, 2026 Wimbledon winner), enters as the #2 seed. Alcaraz missed competition since April 2026 due to a wrist injury and returns for the US Open. Polymarket: 32% title probability; bookmakers list him at 6/4 (~40% implied). The probability of merely winning rounds 1 and 2 — against typically much lower-ranked opponents in a now-wider draw — is ~82% despite wrist uncertainty. Tennis365: 'The draw is open enough for several contenders to believe New York could belong to them.'
