But before the full table, some highlights I want to pick out.
  • Novak Djokovic is the most likely to win the tournament, with a 22.56% chance of winning the whole thing, with Rafael Nadal next at 17.79%. The 3rd most likely is Roger Federer with 17.78% and Andy Murray 4th with 16.25%
  • Jared Donaldson has a really easy draw compared to other players with a similar ELO rating. I have him as the 60th most likely winner, while he is only the 72nd highest ranked player here.
  • On the other hand, Martin Klizan has the toughest draw. He is the 82nd most likely winner, but he is the 63rd highest ranked player competing.
  • The toughest 1st round draw went to Alexandr Dolgopolov, as he's the 125th most likely player to progress to round 2, but he's ranked 44th of the competitors. 
  • Facundo Bagnis got the easiest 1st round draw, as he's the 55th most likely player to advance to round 2, while he's the 124th highest ranked competitor here.
Here's the full table. Want to be the 1st to hear of new updates: Follow @tennis_elo on Twitter.
