I feel sorry for Andreescu when played against Sakkari both played amazingly but unfortunately the third set she suffered an injury looking quite serious still continuing the match but finally had to lose, more than 3 hours and until late night.

F. A. Aliasime vs. C. Alcaraz whoever wins this will be the first experience of a Grand Slam semifinal, it will most likely be a match that lasts 5 sets.

Medvedev vs unkown van de Zandschulp, Medvedev hasn't drop a set yet in this tournament. Nevertheless, I have a feeling that van de Zandschulp might just break it and take one set. So over 27.5 is my bet.
Medvedev still looks very strong in this tournament because he is also in a relatively easy group, betting on Medvedev on ML is very unattractive because it is so low as Djokovic and Zverev, I chose over 8.5 in the first set.

Medvedev is the threat, reigning Olympic champion. So eventually if these two face each other, the pressure will be on Djokovic to prove his number 1 ranking. He has been in many battles mentally so for sure he had battled his inner demons and so far won against it. So his psychological challenges can be tested again.

Zverev is the reigning Olympic champion but I agree that Medvedev can be a real threat for Djokovic (together with Zverev). The pressure in any match will always be on Djokovic and most of the times he can handle it well, but sometimes he fails (look at the Olympic games).

Tomorrow will be the first real test for Đoković.

I don't think anything is really a test for Djokovic at the moment. It's too easy, with Federer and Nadal fading out of the picture; there's no-one really at his level anymore.

Just the usual game for Djokovic, lost the first set and then totally destroyed and won the last 3 sets with ease.

I'd say the only person who can really beat him is himself, as when he blew up at the Olympics. His biggest challenge I think is not the other players, but retaining motivation and concentration in match after match when regardless of who stands across the net from him, he knows he's considerably better than his opponent. It's certainly a great position to be in, but when the whole world knows you're the best, this can bring its own, psychological, challenges.

yes the famous "Uncle Tony" who coached Nadal. Alcaraz is being talked about
as being the next Nadal. He is definitely showing why ATM.

Big win by Felix AA against a pumped up Tiafoe who will be savagely dissapointed
after a big win against Rublev.

Zverev has a big game today against Sinner, he is big favourite 1.16 to 5.20.
Thats a bit of an injustice to Sinner tough, does anybody give Sinner a chance?
Yes, of course, Sinner will have a slight chance against Zverev. But Zverev's form is outstanding so far.

I have Djokovic vs Brooskby over 28.5. I think the kid can take one set from Djokovic and make it close.

Yeah, Alcaraz has some serious firepower, still very young and for sure some with corrections and coaching from Nadal's uncle, this kid can be a serious contender for those new gen of tennis players.

A win for me between Djokovic and Brooskby, as I have predicted, he won at least one set.

And then some for a multi-bet try, just got lucky.

Tomorrow will be the first real test for Đoković. Berrettini really struggled so far in this tournament, barely avoided a huge upset against Ivashka, but is a player that is good enough to cause him big problems on his good day.

Đoković has 3-0 in their H2H duels, a win on all surfaces - 2-0 win on hard in 2019, 3-1 win on last RG and a 3-1 win in the last Wimbledon final. Looks an easy win for Đoković, but Berrettini isn't as bad as these statistics say. I will try a handicap on him tomorrow.
Ivashka is not familiar name but he is playing in great form at the moment. Certainly much better than his ranking shows.

I am just hoping for some big handicap on Berettini but we will not get it. He is good server and I expect line to be set at 7.5 which is just on the line for me. One bad set destroys that line. I will rather play Berettini to take at least one set.

Djokovic started poorly, but completed match easily, it was 3:1 in the end, but seems that Novak is getting used to lose first set on grand slams, in training mode
Zverev played really good, and it will be clash in semi-final, although bookies are heavily on Djokovic side at the moment, with winning the tournament bid at @1.65


When i watched the match of djokovic vs brooksby it looked to me, that djokovic was losing that first set almost voluntarily or just used it to warm himself up or something like that. The commentator was like "omg djokovic losing the first set with 1-6 games, the last time this happend was a year ago". Then in the following sets it was a completely dominating performance by djokovic again. I don't know whats going on with the joker and the first set of matches but is is really odd. Maybe some friends of djokovic are betting that he loses the first set or stuff like that, because i really think you could have won that first set too if he wanted.

Alcaraz have a chance to reach semi-final tonight, and that is a match to watch
not so sure about the winner, but will put my money on Felix tonight, Alcaraz played solid after beating Tsitsi, but do not think that he will do another

Raducanu, she looks like she will
take the first set against a very tough opponent in Rogers.

Raducanu has just been phenomenal. Lost the first two games against Rogers, nearly lost the third... but then won 11 straight games before winning the match 6-2 6-1.
And this comes after her match in the previous round where she won 6-0 6-1.

And she got through three rounds of qualifying just to make the main draw... 7 matches played so far at this tournament, and hasn't yet dropped a set.

However, the opponents get tougher as the rounds go on. Beating Bencic in the quarters is a huge ask, and the pressure gets more intense with each round.
She was I think 366 in the world before Wimbledon, now she's 1 win away from becoming the British number 1 ranked player.  Shocked

I just caught the last set of the Zverev v Sinner match, Zverev looks really
on top of his game, he is probably the top challenger to Djokovic as others
have said before on this thread.

The US Open has already recorded some shocking results in both men's and women's games, for the women we have seen Leylah Fernandez making headlines upsetting Angelique Kerber to reach quarterfinals a day before her birthday...that's determination right there,  let's not forget her names people she is responsible for knocking out defending champion Naomi Osaka which makes it 2 former champs being defeated by her in two consecutive matches, I just hope she doesn't lose focus along the way she might be world number one one day if she can keep this up.





Yes I watched Fernandez beaing Kerber, such a brilliant match, she is definitely
one to watch as is the yourn British player Raducanu, she looks like she will
take the first set against a very tough opponent in Rogers.

Alcaraz pull another escape again, vs Gojowczyk, it was a fifth set match. He was down 2-1 and come back and win the next 6 games with complete domination.
Look like a young potential player, I saw him at the beginning when he beat Tsitsipas in the fifth set, I still doubt he can pass to round 4, but he can do it, after beat Gojowczyk he still has a chance to the semifinal, of course, he must consistent on quarter-final next.

maybe we are not the same of thinking. but when I look through him, I saw pete sampras.
That was his first win against a top 10 player from what I remember reading about the youngest player since Chang back in the 80-90's to make it this far in the US Open.
I thought he was dusted and lost the match after getting a bagel in the second last set.
Alcaraz and Brooksby are the future of the sport with the likes of Murray and Federer moving on in saying they are retiring every year but still manage to comeback the very next season.

~snip
I am thinking those odds are about right, Sinner is good but Zverev is better and he is playing in the best form of his life. Even best players in the world like Djokovic have big problems against in form Zverev so I am not giving much chance to Sinner to win today. I feel like his max in this match is to take maybe 1. set.

what is your take on a winner, Djokovic has three possible tough players in a row, Berrettini, Zverev and than Medvedev to clash before the title

Medvedev seems as without any competition in his part of the draw, and he will probably see finals
Berrettini and Djokovic are both big favorites tonight, so they will met in next round, and Djokovic should pass that one
if Zverev made it to semi-final, will be interesting to see them after Olympics match, but I do not see Zverev taking Djokovic down another time, although he is playing great, and this is his grand-slam chance
Who is playing against Alcaraz? That guy has some serious fire power and can take out anybody. He is missing consistency though, but that is to be expected for young player. Real floating mine in the draw.

I am always biased towards players I saw playing well so I would say Zverev - Medvedev in the final but I did not see Djokovic yet. Not sure if it is possible but I would like to see Djokovic -Alcaraz and I would put down my house on Alcaraz taking at least one set in that one  Grin
It is Felix Auger-Aliassime. He will be tired after playing a very intense match against Frances Tiafoe late last night. So the younger Alcaraz has the advantage I would say.

Shelby Rogers lost to No.1 Ashleigh Barty in the women's event at the Australian Open. Which is one of the biggest upsets of the present time, anyone watched that match?
On the other hand, Novak Djokovic survived an upsets at the men's Australian Open. He defeated Kei Nishikori. Djokovic's next game is against Jenson Brooksby of the United States. So much excited about this match.

possible in the final, not before
Alcaraz is playing Felix first, and them Medvedev in semi-final, if the dutch does not kick-out Medvedev, which would be a big surprise

US Open is usually the tournament that I am watching the least, due to timing, does not suit me at all
Zverev is playing on a gold medal ground, and as long as winning streak is there, he will be good

From a UK perspective, where Andy Murray is our only top player in recent years, I have to say Emma Radacanu is looking strong in the women's tournament. She has got a bit lucky with the draw, but she's only 18 and this is only her second slam, after reaching the last 16 in her first slam at Wimbledon a couple of months ago, she's now in the last 16 at the US Open. It's difficult not to get carried away, particularly after watching her win her last 32 match 6-0 6-1. I certainly don't expect her to win the tournament, but she looks like one to watch for the future.
