Predicted for 9. September 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
Medvedev is a three-time US Open finalist (2019, 2021 champion, 2023) and one of the best hard-court players. As 5th seed he avoids Top-4 seeds until at least the QF. The US Open draw was held August 27, 2026. Historical QF probability for a top-5 seed at a major is 50–55%. Open predictions for Zverev QF, Alcaraz SF, Sinner SF and FAA QF sit in separate draw quadrants and do not contradict Medvedev reaching the QF.

Verdict: Miss
Medvedev schied im Achtelfinale (Vierte Runde) aus, nicht im Viertelfinale. Frances Tiafoe (11. Gesetzter, USA) besiegte ihn am 6. September 2026 in drei Sätzen: 7-6 (7/1), 6-4, 7-6 (8/6). Medvedev führte in zwei der drei Sätze, verlor aber entscheidende Momente. Zudem war Medvedev in Wirklichkeit als Nr. 7 gesetzt, nicht als Nr. 5 wie in der Vorhersage angegeben.

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. Verification by FIA or Formula1.com by November 22, 2026.

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.
