Verdict: Hit

Frances Tiafoe besiegte Alex Michelsen tatsächlich im Viertelfinale und erreichte das Halbfinale. Allerdings war es eine dramatische Aufholjagd: Tiafoe verlor die ersten beiden Sätze (5-7, 3-6), gewann dann aber Satz 3, 4 und den entscheidenden 5. Satz (7-6) nach 4:38 Stunden – laut CBS Sports und Eastern Herald der größte Grand-Slam-Comeback seiner Karriere. Der Kern der Vorhersage (Tiafoe schlägt Michelsen, erreicht Halbfinale) trat ein, nur der Weg war um einiges schwieriger als die prognostizierten ~55:45-Favoriten-Quoten suggerierten.

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%.
