Data basis for this prediction

Polymarket: Alcaraz 56 % Turniersieg, Shelton ~11 % (Stand 8. Sep. 2026)

Verdict: Miss

Ben Shelton besiegte Carlos Alcaraz im Viertelfinale des US Open 2026 am 9. September 2026 (die Partie begann am Abend des 8. September und wurde als 9. September verbucht). Das Ergebnis laut Tennis.com (match URL: b-shelton-vs-c-alcaraz-2026-09-09) und mehreren übereinstimmenden Suchergebnissen: Shelton gewinnt, nicht Alcaraz. Damit trat genau das ein, was Shelton selbst als 'special tennis' bezeichnete – er brach erstmals seine 0-5-Bilanz gegen Alcaraz und besiegte den Topfavoriten trotz ~82% Buchmacherwahrscheinlichkeit für Alcaraz. Quellen: Tennis.com Matchseite (Ergebnis: B. Shelton gewinnt), Yahoo Sports Match-Seite, mehrere unabhängige Suchresultat-Zusammenfassungen; kein indexierter Post-Match-Artikel von USTA/ATP verfügbar, da das Ergebnis sehr frisch ist, aber die Datenlage ist konsistent.

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. 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.
