Predicted for 13. September 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
Both Alcaraz and Zverev are predicted via open platform forecasts to reach the final. Alcaraz holds two US Open titles (2022, 2024) at 23, while Zverev is 0-for-3 in Grand Slam finals. Pre-semifinal tournament odds (TIME/Yahoo Sports, September 2026) implied Alcaraz at ~62% and Zverev at ~23% to win the title. Zverev is dangerous on serve and baseline; Alcaraz remains dominant on hard courts and is a proven Flushing Meadows champion.
Data basis for this prediction
- TIME / Yahoo Sports US Open 2026 Odds: Alcaraz ~62 %, Zverev ~23 % (Stand September 2026)
- ATP: Alcaraz 2 US-Open-Titel (2022, 2024); Zverev 0 Grand-Slam-Finalsiege (September 2026)
- Offene Plattformvorhersagen: Zverev ins Finale, Alcaraz ins Finale (jeweils bestätigt)
Verdict: Miss
Die Vorhersage ist in beiden Kernaspekten falsch. (1) Carlos Alcaraz erreichte das Finale nicht – er schied im Viertelfinale gegen Ben Shelton aus (6-7, 6-1, 6-3, 1-6, 7-6 in einem Thriller, der um 3:33 Uhr morgens endete). (2) Das Finale fand zwischen Alexander Zverev und Ben Shelton statt, nicht zwischen Alcaraz und Zverev. Zverev gewann 6-3, 7-6(2), 5-7, 6-2 und sicherte sich damit seinen zweiten Grand-Slam-Titel – nicht Alcaraz seinen dritten US-Open-Titel. Die Grundannahme der Vorhersage (Alcaraz vs. Zverev im Finale) war schlicht falsch. Quellen: usopen.org, cbssports.com, espn.com (September 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.

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.
