Miss ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 30. August 2026 · Predicted for 13. September 2026 · Based on: Historical Cycle

Probability

30%

Jannik Sinner (ITA, originally seeded #2) has withdrawn with a knee injury per ESPN/Yahoo Sports, elevating Alcaraz to clear favourite. Aggregate bookmaker odds imply ~26–30% for Alcaraz (ESPN: +250 = 26.5% raw, ~30% margin-adjusted). Sharpest rivals: Alexander Zverev (~20%), Novak Djokovic (~11%). Alcaraz is a two-time US Open champion (2022, 2023) and a dominant hard-court player; without Sinner he holds the best Flushing Meadows track record in the draw. Cassandra's platform tips Zverev, Djokovic, Auger-Aliassime and Rune to all reach the QF — but Alcaraz is the aggregate favourite.

Data basis for this prediction

ESPN: 'With Jannik Sinner out, Carlos Alcaraz favored at US Open' — Alcaraz +250 (Stand 30.08.2026)
Yahoo Sports: US Open 2026 Tennis Odds — Sabalenka, Alcaraz Top Picks (30.08.2026)
USTA: US Open 2026 Main Draw started 30 August, Final ca. 13 September 2026
Sinner-Rückzug wegen Knieverletzung (ESPN, Aug 2026)

Verdict: Miss

Alexander Zverev gewann die US Open 2026 im Herren-Einzel. Er besiegte Ben Shelton im Finale am 13. September 2026 mit 6–3, 7–6(2), 5–7, 6–2 und sicherte sich seinen zweiten Grand-Slam-Titel des Jahres (nach den French Open 2026). Alcaraz schied im Viertelfinale aus und erreichte das Finale nicht. Damit trat genau der zweitwahrscheinlichste Kandidat der Vorhersage als Sieger auf – Zverev wurde im Vorfeld mit ~20% Gewinnwahrscheinlichkeit eingestuft.

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%.
