- Carlos Alcaraz — the market puts it at 43%, closing 15 Feb 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Carlos Alcaraz wins the 2027 Australian Open Men's Singles title. It resolves to No if he does not win that specific tournament. Readers often mistake the linked Japan Open victory for the required event, but only the 2027 Australian Open result counts.
