Risk radar

What could change the prediction?

Tennis predictions change quickly. These are the triggers we watch.

  • If a different player reaches this round

    The whole call starts again. We update the pairing as the draw plays out.

  • If Carlos Alcaraz comes through a long match in the previous round

    Tiredness would take several points off our win chance, especially over five sets.

  • If conditions change (heat, wind or the roof closing)

    Faster or slower conditions shift the serve and return balance our call relies on.
