Carlos Alcaraz holds the strongest position in the 2026 US Open winner market as the defending champion returning from a right wrist injury that sidelined him from the French Open and Wimbledon. He has steadily regained form on hard courts, highlighted by a straight-sets Round of 16 victory over Tommy Paul that extended his Grand Slam winning streak. Alexander Zverev sits second after a standout season that includes a French Open title and Wimbledon final, combined with consistent quarterfinal appearances across all majors and a comparatively favorable draw. Ben Shelton and Frances Tiafoe represent the main American threats with recent advances, while players like Karen Khachanov and Alexander Blockx offer longer-shot potential through specific bracket paths. The implied probabilities reflect traders weighing Alcaraz’s proven major pedigree against Zverev’s current momentum and rest advantages heading into the later rounds.
