How the field did
39%
50 of 129 picks called correctly.
17 of 31
matches went against the crowd's majority pick — 55% of the tournament.
Quarterfinal
16% accuracy, against a 30% median across all rounds.
14 of 31
A bracket built from the majority pick in every match would have beaten 80% of the 10 real entries.
The crowd's bracket is complete; most real entries are not.
Accuracy falls with every round by design — calling a quarterfinal means having had the winner survive three earlier matches first. Compare a round against the same round elsewhere, not against the one before it.
The matches that did the damage
🇩🇪 D. Altmaier def. 🇷🇺 D. Medvedev
Quarterfinal — 0 of the 5 brackets that picked this match called it.
