But before the full table, some highlights I want to pick out.
  • Novak Djokovic is the most likely to win the tournament, with a 23.65% chance of winning the whole thing, with Rafael Nadal next at 22.06%. The 3rd most likely is Daniil Medvedev with 13.08% and Stefanos Tsitsipas is the 4th favourite with 8.84%
  • Stefanos Tsitsipas has the easiest overall draw, as he is 0.87 percentage points more likely to win the tournament than expected. On the other hand, Alexander Zverev has a tough draw. He is 0.87 percentage points less likely to win the tournament than expected.
  • The toughest 1st round draw went to Lorenzo Musetti, as he's 44.43 percentage points less likely to win than a player of his rank is expected to win. Bernabe Zapata Miralles got the easiest 1st round draw, as he's 34.99 percentage points more likely to make it to round 2 than his ranking would expect.
