Predicted for 13. September 2026

Based on: Historical Cycle
Jannik Sinner (ITA, originally seeded #2) has withdrawn with a knee injury per ESPN/Yahoo Sports, elevating Alcaraz to clear favourite.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.

Nina Kennedy is the reigning Olympic champion (Paris 2024 gold ahead of Katie Moon/USA) and co-world champion Budapest 2023. In July 2026 she already cleared 4.80m at the Diamond League meeting in Budapest – a strong form signal at the same venue. Competition from Katie Moon (USA), Sandi Morris (USA) and Alysha Newman (CAN, Olympic bronze 2024). Aggregated bookmaker odds imply ~35–38% for Kennedy.

Marileidy Paulino won gold in the 400m at the Paris 2024 Olympics and is the reigning Olympic champion. Femke Bol (NED), who long dominated, has switched to the 800m in 2026 (her Budapest 2026 entry confirmed in the 800m), so she does not compete in the 400m flat. This clears the path for Paulino: her next serious rivals would be Natalia Kaczmarek (POL, European champion) or Amber Anning (GBR). Aggregated bookmaker odds imply ~48% for Paulino.

Lando Norris sits P4 in the 2026 drivers' championship (171 points); McLaren is P3 in the constructors' championship (287 points). The Marina Bay street circuit favours high downforce – typical McLaren terrain. Norris won in Singapore in 2024 and knows the track well. Main rivals per bookmaker odds: Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes, already Spain GP winner), Max Verstappen (Red Bull). Aggregated bookmaker odds imply ~22–25% for Norris.
