Tournament recap
🇩🇪Stuttgart Open 2026
Who the crowd backed, who let them down, and how the field scored.
The players
🇺🇸 B. Shelton

🇺🇸 F. Tiafoe
Named in 11 picks, across 3 brackets.
Counts every round, so deep runs inflate this.
How the field did
60%
41 of 68 picks called correctly.
6 of 24
matches went against the crowd's majority pick — 25% of the tournament.
R32
57% accuracy, against a 62% median across all rounds.
18 of 24
A bracket built from the majority pick in every match would have beaten 100% of the 3 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.
