Market context

Felix Auger-Aliassime faces Brandon Nakashima in the opening round of Roland Garros in late May 2026. The crowd-implied probability sits at 90% for Auger-Aliassime, reflecting his status as the clear favourite. Nakashima, ranked considerably lower, enters as a substantial underdog in what appears a routine matchup on paper.

Auger-Aliassime's clay-court record and ranking advantage form the foundation of the consensus view. He has competed consistently at the French Open over recent seasons, reaching the second round multiple times and demonstrating competence on the surface. Nakashima, by contrast, has struggled to establish himself as a clay threat, with limited deep runs at Roland Garros or other major European events. Historical precedent suggests that when a top-50 player faces someone outside the top 100 in the first round of a Grand Slam, the favourite converts roughly 85–92% of the time, placing the current 90% assessment within normal bounds rather than overextended.

The settlement window closes 7 June, allowing six days beyond the scheduled 30 May date for completion. Traders should monitor draw confirmation and any late withdrawals or injury reports in the fortnight before the tournament. Weather delays at Roland Garros occasionally compress schedules, though first-round matches typically proceed without significant postponement. Nakashima's recent form and any last-minute ranking shifts could shift the margin, but the fundamental mismatch in clay experience and ranking suggests limited value exists against the favourite at current odds.

Methodology

Methodologically we separate two layers: the live probability (Polymarket mid-price) and the platform attributes (fee, KYC, settlement currency, payment rails). The odds column is filled only where we have clean data — that avoids the made-up numbers that get a network demoted when search engines cross-check against the source venue.

Resolution & payout

Polymarket-based markets settle through the UMA Optimistic Oracle on Polygon. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour challenge window opens, and unchallenged proposals finalise the resolution. Payouts settle automatically in USDC the moment the result is final — no bookmaker, no delay.

Kalshi-based markets settle in USD via the CFTC-regulated clearinghouse. Betfair Exchange settles in GBP/EUR net of commission. Manifold is play-money and does not pay out real funds.
