It missed, with 0 of 5 legs landing. That is the ordinary outcome: at 5.6% to hit, missing was always about 94% likely, and coming up a leg or two short is the most common way it happens.

The ticket, as we published it

1Casper Ruud to winRuud win the O'Connell vs Ruud76¢

5Nuno Borges to winBorges win the Borges vs Cerundolo57¢

The near-miss trap: this ticket came up exactly one leg short 23% of the time, far more often than it ever cashed. That is what keeps people building them.
