Alcaraz returns as defending US Open champion after a 4-month wrist injury, winning R1 against Safiullin 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. World No. 1 Jannik Sinner withdrew (first major absence since 2019), making Zverev (Roland Garros 2026 winner) top seed. Most probable final: Alcaraz vs. Zverev. Alcaraz is historically dominant on US hard courts; Zverev has never won a major on hard courts in the US. No Polymarket market; implied bookmaker probability ~45–50% for Alcaraz in the final.

Verdict: Miss

Carlos Alcaraz gewann das Herren-Einzel der US Open 2026 nicht. Er scheiterte bereits im Viertelfinale an dem amerikanischen Spieler Ben Shelton (Ergebnis ca. 6-7, 6-1, 6-3, 1-6, 7-6 – spätestes Spiel in der US-Open-Geschichte laut CNN/NBC). Das Finale am 13. September 2026 bestritten Alexander Zverev und Ben Shelton; Zverev gewann 6-3, 7-6(2), 5-7, 6-2 und holte damit seinen zweiten Grand-Slam-Titel nach Roland Garros 2026 (Quellen: usopen.org offizielle Draw-PDF, CNN, USTA-Pressemitteilung). Das wahrscheinlichste Finale Alcaraz vs. Zverev trat nicht ein – stattdessen spielte der Top-Setzling Zverev gegen Shelton.

Borussia Dortmund defeats SV 07 Elversberg — Bundesliga Matchday 9 (Signal Iduna Park, 7 November 2026, confirmed via bundesliga.com or DFL by 7 November 2026, 18:00 CET)

BVB sits 2nd in the Bundesliga after 8 matchdays (18 pts) with the best defence in the league (6 goals conceded). Bookmaker odds for a Dortmund home win imply ~79% (quote ~1.26); statistical models put BVB at 74.96%. Expected Goals: BVB 2.47 xG vs. Elversberg 0.81 xG. Elversberg failed to score in three consecutive away fixtures — no other club in the division is currently as barren on the road. Probability set slightly below market implied to account for Elversberg's proven giant-killing capacity this season.

RB Leipzig defeats FC Augsburg — Bundesliga Matchday 9 (Red Bull Arena, Leipzig, 7 November 2026, confirmed via bundesliga.com or DFL by 7 November 2026, 18:00 CET)

RB Leipzig have never lost a Bundesliga home fixture against FC Augsburg (10 games: 9 wins, 1 draw). Augsburg are currently on a 6-match winless run (3 draws, 3 losses) — the longest such drought in the top flight right now. Winger Antonio Nusa is in excellent form; a Leipzig win would set a Bundesliga record against Augsburg. Bookmaker odds imply ~60% (quote ~1.65); the unblemished home record and Augsburg's poor form justify raising the estimate to 65%.
