I was hoping to see Tsitsipas win against Raonic but it wasn't to be. I still think that Tsitsipas is a good chance to win this years US Open if all goes well. Djokovic was pushed hard in his match but was still able to overcome Bautista which now sets up for a good final against Raonic. I think that Djokovic will win but it won't be an easy win for him as Raonic has shown in the past that he can match it with the top players in finals.
Well you know me, I always bet on my boy Tsitsipas and I thought that he will also beat Raonic. But it seems that the big serving Raonic is back. Also Djokovic had a hard time adjusting to Bautista Agut and even losing the first set. But he come back, so it will be Djokovic vs Raonic. The match will be good as long as it last, as long as Raonic can keep up with Djokovic, but I don't see this slipping in the hands of Djokovic.
Djokovic had big health problems in that match, stomach problems and big neck pains and that was a much bigger problem for him than Bautista himself.
If Djokovic had been completely healthy, Bautista would not have had any chances in the match.
This match showed why Djokovic is the greatest tennis player of all time.
Where 99% of other players give up he goes forward and does not give up.
These are the qualities of the greatest champions.
I think this will be a very close match with at least one tie break and possibly even more.
