  • Casper Ruud has the easiest overall draw, as he is 0.41 percentage points more likely to win the tournament than expected. On the other hand, Karen Khachanov has a tough draw. He is 0.27 percentage points less likely to win the tournament than expected.
  • The toughest 1st round draw went to Laslo Djere, as he's 34.63 percentage points less likely to win than a player of his rank is expected to win. Daniel Altmaier got the easiest 1st round draw, as he's 37.41 percentage points more likely to make it to round 2 than his ranking would expect.
