  • Rafael Nadal is the most likely to win the tournament, with a 26.28% chance of winning the whole thing, with Novak Djokovic next at 25.26%. The 3rd most likely is Roger Federer with 24.67% and Dominic Thiem 4th with 3.61%
  • Reilly Opelka has a really easy draw compared to other players with a similar ELO rating. I have him as the 70th most likely winner, while he is only the 80th highest ranked player here.
  • On the other hand, Jordan Thompson has a tough draw. He is the 78th most likely winner, but he is the 59th highest ranked player competing.
  • The toughest 1st round draw went to Philipp Kohlschreiber, as he's the 126th most likely player to progress to round 2, but he's ranked 36th of the competitors. 
  • Denis Kudla got the easiest 1st round draw, as he's the 67th most likely player to advance to round 2, while he's the 118th highest ranked competitor here.
