Based on: Ongoing Event
Robinhood Prediction Markets (11,117 participants, as of 4 October 2026) prices Carlos Alcaraz at 41% as the clear favorite, followed by Alexander Zverev (19%) and Ben Shelton (11%). Jannik Sinner (world No. 1, 2024 defending champion) withdrew on 3 October 2026 citing a lingering knee injury — this absence further strengthens Alcaraz's position as the market redistributes Sinner's share to remaining players. The draw was published on 5 October. Alcaraz showed strong 2026 hard-court form (multiple Masters titles). Main risks: Zverev's Shanghai experience, potential in-tournament injury.
Data basis for this prediction
- Robinhood Prediction Markets: Alcaraz 41 %, Zverev 19 %, Shelton 11 % (04.10.2026, 11.117 Teilnehmer)

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.
