2022 Australian Open Predictions - Men's

The 1st Grand Slam of the season is starting on Monday, so I'm here with a preview and predictions for how the Men's bracket will turn out. After the jump I present a table with percentages for all 128 players and how they will do.

But before the full table, some highlights I want to pick out.
  • Rafael Nadal is the most likely to win the tournament, with a 28.56% chance of winning the whole thing, with Alexander Zverev next at 21.51%. The 3rd most likely is Daniil Medvedev with 18.26% and Stefanos Tsitsipas is 4th with 5%
  • Gael Monfils has the easiest overall draw, as he is 0.24 percentage points more likely to win the tournament than expected. John Isner, who is 0.2 percentage points less likely to win the tournament than expected, has the toughest overall draw.
  • The toughest 1st round draw went to Marcos Giron, as he's 49.6 percentage points less likely to win than a player of his rank is expected to win. Stefan Kozlov got the easiest 1st round draw, as he's 32.07 percentage points more likely to make it to round 2 than his ranking would expect.
