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.

World Athletics Ultimate Championship Budapest 2026: Marileidy Paulino (DOM) wins the Women's 400m final (12 September 2026)

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.
