Jannik Sinner, reigning ATP World No. 1 and multiple Grand Slam champion (Australian Open 2025, 2026), is among the top US Open 2026 favorites. Historically, top-3 seeds at Grand Slams reach the semifinal in ~38–44% of cases. Existing open forecasts account for two SF spots (Alcaraz winning the title, Zverev reaching SF); Sinner's draw half represents a second open slot. Aggregate bookmaker odds imply a ~40–45% SF probability for Sinner — consistent with historical base rates for top Grand Slam seeds. Risks: injury, difficult draw, or a strong unseeded contender.

The women's 100m final is an open three-way contest: Melissa Jefferson-Wooden (USA, 2025 world champion, 11-race win streak in 2026) vs Julien Alfred (St. Lucia, Paris 2024 Olympic champion, PB 10.70s) and Sha'Carri Richardson (USA). Alfred beat Jefferson-Wooden by 0.005s on August 27. No clear market favourite. Implied odds: Alfred ~38–42%, Jefferson-Wooden ~35–40%, Richardson ~18%. Jefferson-Wooden has the more consistent season-long form over the full distance.

Sabalenka is world No. 1 and defending champion, still in the tournament after the second week (R16 vs. Taylor Townsend, ESPN September 6, 2026). Coco Gauff (USA) has a separate prediction for reaching the final — both can meet in the decider, with Sabalenka as favorite. Sabalenka won the 2024 and 2025 US Opens, showing exceptional consistency on Flushing Meadows hardcourt. Bookmaker odds imply ~35–40% for the title (aggregated, as of September 6, 2026).

Melissa Jefferson-Wooden is the reigning world champion at 100m and 200m and competes in both sprints in Budapest. Her strongest competition: Julien Alfred (LCA, Olympic champion Paris 2024), Sha'Carri Richardson (USA), and Tina Clayton (JAM, 2026 Diamond League champion). A four-way favorite field — no single athlete dominates. Implied individual probabilities: Jefferson-Wooden ~40–45%, Alfred ~25–28%, Richardson ~20–22%, Clayton ~8–10%. No duplicate to existing open predictions (existing 200m women's prediction covers Gabby Thomas).

Following the injury withdrawal of Olympic champion Tara Davis-Woodhall (USA, 7.13m SB), the women's long jump field has opened up significantly. Alyssa Jones (USA) leads remaining entrants with a 7.09m seasonal best; Alexis Brown (USA) follows at 7.07m. The Ultimate Championship limits the field to 8 athletes – with a likely US 1-2 set-up, Jones holds the edge by SB value. The field is small and competitive; other outcomes (especially Brown) are realistic. No direct market odds found.

The Sprint Race in Misano takes place on Saturday, September 12, 2026 at 3:00pm local time (confirmed by crash.net). Bagnaia is particularly dominant at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli as a home race favourite and is also expected to win the main race (open platform anchor: Sept 13). Historically, sprint race and main race winners correlate strongly (~55% identical winner per MotoGP data 2023–2025 across all circuits). Main rivals: Marc Márquez (Ducati Gresini), Jorge Martín (Aprilia), Enea Bastianini (KTM). Bookmaker odds imply ~40% for Bagnaia.

Ja'Kobe Tharp (USA) set a new world record of 12.75s in June 2026 (NCAA Championships), making him the fastest hurdler in history. As world-record holder he enters Budapest as the clear favourite. Other serious contenders: Cordell Tinch (won Doha Diamond League 2026, listed as reigning world champion) and Grant Holloway (Paris 2024 Olympic gold, PB 12.81s). The event is more competitive than most disciplines; aggregated odds imply ~38–42% for Tharp. Downside risk: Tinch on form.

After Noah Lyles (USA) ended his 2026 season due to injury (withdrawal confirmed September 4 via France24 / Yahoo Sports), the 100m field is wide open. Oblique Seville (JAM) is the reigning world champion (Tokyo 2025, 9.77s) and is listed as a joint top favorite alongside Kishane Thompson (JAM, 2025 world lead 9.75s) and Gout Gout (AUS, 18-year-old prodigy) per the World Athletics 'Ultimate Clashes' feature and Athletics Weekly. Seville is ranked slightly ahead as the defending world champion. No Polymarket market available; implied individual probability ~35–40%.

Gauff is consistently among the strongest US players on home hard courts and a realistic title contender. With Sabalenka predicted to win the final and Pegula to reach the semis, a semi-final slot in the other half of the draw is open — Gauff is the most natural candidate. This prediction does not contradict Sabalenka's predicted final win (Gauff could lose the final). No specific prediction market data available.

Sabalenka is the clear outright favourite at US Open 2026 Women's Singles with implied tournament win probability of ~35–38% per aggregated bookmaker odds (Yahoo Sports/Covers). Swiatek reaching the final and Gauff reaching the semi-final are already open predictions – a Sabalenka win is fully consistent with a Swiatek vs Sabalenka final. Sabalenka has won three Grand Slams since 2023 with exceptional hard-court form.

Tara Davis-Woodhall (USA, b. 1999) won Olympic gold in Paris 2024 with 7.10m and is at the peak of her career at 27. The women's long jump final is entirely absent from the platform's open predictions. Crucially, Noah Lyles ended his season early due to injury before Budapest (Yahoo Sports/NBC Sports, September 2026) — shifting US delegation focus to events beyond the 100m sprint. Main rivals: Ivana Španović (SRB), Quanesha Burks (USA), Malaika Mihambo (GER, 2021 Olympic champion). No Polymarket/Kalshi market found; bookmaker odds imply ~35% for Davis-Woodhall.

Roglič is 1:37 behind Enric Mas in GC and must attack on the penultimate stage. The HC summit at Collado del Alguacil (8.3 km, 9.8% avg, 4,890m total climbing) is a steep short ramp – prime Roglič terrain. As the only GC rider with genuine motivation for a full attack, he is the most likely aggressor. Carapaz, Omrzel, and others may intervene via breakaway. No specific market consensus; estimate ~35% for Roglič based on course profile, GC deficit, and historical attack patterns at similar climbs.

The field is radically weakened: Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone (running flat 400m) and Femke Bol (focused on 800m) are absent. Anna Cockrell leads the 2026 World Athletics rankings for the event (1,362 pts, No. 2 globally) and won Olympic silver at Paris 2024. Most recent mark: 52.13s in Zurich (Aug. 27, 2026). In an 8-athlete invitational, she is the clearest favourite — but Dalilah Muhammad (ranked 7th, USA) and others keep the race open. No market odds available; estimated win probability ~35%.

After Stage 9, Enric Mas leads GC by +1:18 over Roglič. Open platform predictions give Roglič stages 12, 14, and 18 (32.5km ITT) – Roglič likely holds the red jersey entering Stage 20. Stage 20 is the queen stage (5,000m climbing, HC Collado del Alguacil) – the last genuine GC day before Granada's flat finale. For Mas to reclaim overall leadership (projected overall winner), he must attack on Stage 20. No prediction market available. Felix Gall (3rd at +1:39 after Stage 9) is an alternative stage-winner scenario.

Sabalenka is the two-time defending champion (US Open 2023, 2024) and No. 1 seed. She dominated round 2 (6-1, 6-1 vs. Iatcenko in under 60 minutes) and faces Fernandez in round 3 today. Grand Slams are her historic strength despite intermittent 2026 form inconsistency (14-7 after 26-1 year start). Top competition: Rybakina (No. 2, open prediction: QF), Pegula (No. 3, open prediction: SF), Gauff (No. 4), Swiatek (No. 8). Betting market odds imply Sabalenka as tournament favorite at ~28-33% overall.

No specific bookmaker odds available for athletics individual events; based on 2026 season performance and Olympic pedigree, we estimate Hall's win probability at roughly 28–33%.
