Based on: Historical Cycle
Zverev (No. 1, GER) faces Ben Shelton (No. 8, USA) in the final at Arthur Ashe Stadium on September 13, 2026. Shelton eliminated co-favourite Carlos Alcaraz in the quarter-finals in five sets. Zverev beat Karen Khachanov in the semis 6-3, 7-6, 7-6. Bookmaker odds imply ~51% for Zverev. A win would give him a French Open/US Open double in 2026. Shelton is a credible underdog post-Alcaraz upset but lacks experience in Grand Slam finals against No. 1-ranked opponents. Zverev's serve and baseline endurance favour him on hard court.

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.
