Verdict: Hit

Frances Tiafoe besiegte Alex Michelsen tatsächlich im Viertelfinale und erreichte das Halbfinale. Allerdings war es eine dramatische Aufholjagd: Tiafoe verlor die ersten beiden Sätze (5-7, 3-6), gewann dann aber Satz 3, 4 und den entscheidenden 5. Satz (7-6) nach 4:38 Stunden – laut CBS Sports und Eastern Herald der größte Grand-Slam-Comeback seiner Karriere. Der Kern der Vorhersage (Tiafoe schlägt Michelsen, erreicht Halbfinale) trat ein, nur der Weg war um einiges schwieriger als die prognostizierten ~55:45-Favoriten-Quoten suggerierten.
