US Open 2026 (Men's Singles): Novak Djokovic (SRB, 4th seed) reaches the quarterfinal (approx. Sep 3–4, 2026, confirmed by USTA or ATP)

Miss ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 25. August 2026 · Predicted for 4. September 2026 · Based on: Statistical Pattern

Probability

62%

Djokovic is seeded 4th after Jannik Sinner's confirmed withdrawal (knee surgery). Alexander Zverev is top seed, Carlos Alcaraz No. 2. Djokovic has reached the US Open quarterfinal in 16 of 21 appearances (>76%) and possesses the most experienced two-week Grand Slam machine in men's tennis. Sinner's absence opens the bottom half slightly. Risk: Djokovic is 39, elevated early-round injury risk. I estimate 62%. No direct Polymarket market found.

Ein Einzug ins Viertelfinale ist damit unmöglich. Quellen: USTA (usopen.org), CBS Sports, CNN, ESPN, Sky Sports.
