I wasn't expecting Karen Khachanov to lose as he was the number two seed for this tournament and thought that he would make the final for an all Russian final but that's not going to happen now. I think that Matteo Berrettini is the main danger in this tournament to Medvedev but first Medvedev must get passed Rublev which is going to be a great match to watch.

Karen Khachanov is not doing great this year. It was a two setter win for Medvedev against Rublev, I was expecting that Rublev will give Medvedev a hard time but it was sort of an easy win.

So semi finals: Medvedev vs Gerasimov, Coric vs Sousa

Coric again made a comeback victory against Ruud, while Sousa defeated the former champion Kukushkin.

Medvedev is on a roll right now, I think he still has the momentum from last month's US Open and it seems playing high and intelligent tennis. With that said, I wouldn't be surprised if he goes to win this year's St. Petersburg.

Medvedev vs Couric in the finals will be good.

Yes he is a roll right now and if he wins this tournament he will be one step closer to catching Federer for that number 3 ranking. Its looking like he will catch Federer at this stage as Federer might not play in as many tournaments now and get himself for next year which I'm thinking could be Federer's final year. If Medvedev does finish in the top 3 it would be a huge achievement for a young player to do so in a year which has been dominated by Nadal, Djokovic and Federer.

Havent watched a tennis match for a few weeks and started to get interested in viewing a few and betting a little on the more easier matches to follow as I remember the players.
I placed a wager on the tsonga match and it was as expected but looks like in the third set all bets I placed were voided due to his opponent basilashvili withdrawn from the match when it was 4 -1 games in the final frame.
The other ones were put on the french players in metz such as pouille and paire. Those were winning ones on my betslips.

@Royse777 - yes, Coric got lucky, LOL, I just looked at the score and I thought he is going to lose this one.

Yeah, it was same with me :-P
I stopped following the match and then after a while when I was checking the score it came as a shock.

Anyway, Coric against Ruud underway. Coric is again 1 set behind LOL

I am going to follow Medvedev match too.

As expected, Medvedev won against Donskoy. But it will be interesting to see him against Rublev int the next match. As Rublev won a three setter against Berankis of Lithuania 6-4, 6-7(5), 6-1.

Khachanov the second seed, lost to Sousa Russia 7-6(2), 6-4.

@Royse777 - yes, Coric got lucky, LOL, I just looked at the score and I thought he is going to lose this one.

I have interest in Medvedev vs Donskoy and Coric vs Fucsovics match.

Coric vs Fucsovics is underway, and first set is very possible for Fucsovics. If so that then job for Coric will be a bit hard, lost any of the sent after that means he is out.

Considering Medvedev's recent form, he should easily win against Donskoy. Starting in few hours.

Edit:
Well Fucsovics got the first set 7⁷ - 6⁵.
Come back time for Coric

Few Months back Coric was one of rising stars in Tennis but suddenly he lost his passion and now one of average players and going down day by day its really shocking for many off his fans I believe now he will stay in just as average player and miss his train just lost first set and now service broken mean he is out from this tournament.
edit: a good comeback by Coric he break service as well now score in second set 4 - 4

No, the problem is with Coric this year is that he suffered a lot of injuries and not because he lost his passion on tennis. He withdraw from both Wimbledon and US Open because of abdominal injury and then some lower back problems. So I guess it's better for him to rest and heal his body first.

He comeback in the second set, and up on the third, I think he can go on the next round, he caught his second wind against Fucsovics..

Edit: Fucsovics retired.

He was 4 - 3 down losing his serve in the 2nd set. I then stopped following the match LOL
Now just checked the score and he won the 2nd set by 5 - 7 and in the third set he was 0 - 3 ahead before Fucsovics retired, not sure what happened there. Lucky Coric?

Match of the day: (1) Medvedev vs Donskoy - I think Medvedev will win this one easily

(2) Khachanov vs Sousa
(3) Berrettini vs Baena
(4) Coric vs Fucsovics

I'm not seeing any upset here. Probably those top seed will go to the next round, might encounter some hard fought sets, but in the end, they can go and steam roll their opponents here.

I agree as its an all Russian match up which will be interesting. Medvedev should get the win but we just never know in these tournaments as the top players sometimes have a hard time winning against lower ranked players. Rublev should also win his match against Berankis, we could see an all Russian final at this tournament if it plays out that way.

I was looking if Medvedev is going to enter this tournament

Good to know. I see Tipsarevic (but he left the match so he is no longer) and Coric B is there. Medvedev should win this tournament. If I am not missing then he has the highest rank among all the participants.

Yes, he is rank number 1 in this tournament., but as far I can remember this tournament is part of the ATP 250 masters, meaning if Medvedev won, another 250 points for him in the race to reach Federer.

@Indymoney - yes, anything can still happen, we have Rublev and Berrettini plus former champ Kukushkin in the tournament as well.

We can say right now its very easy win for Medevedev as no one is good enough to give him tough time but tennis is now very unpredictable game and any player can upset on his day so lets see what happen in St Petersburg Open.

LOL, those where the golden years in the last 90's and early 2000's.. Martina Hingis spend 200++ weeks as number one women's player.You can add to this list, Kim Clijster, Lindsay Davenport. But now, it's totally different, we have like different winners every tournament. LOL.

So true. I used to be a school kid at that time, 9th/10th grad if I am not wrong. Always he picture in the newspaper. I learnt her name from seeing he consistence presence in newspaper and then I got interest in Tennis, I recognized her and what she has done for the women tennis.

Same here mate, used to read about Martina and heard from my uncles talking about how great she was and eventually follow every news about here.

The latest long hold success I think was Williams sisters? Serena if I am not wrong.

Correct, Serena is the more accomplished between the two. But when the Williams sisters burst into the tennis scene, both of them did play very good and it was exciting to see them play against each other.

I think St Petersburg Open has started, today so let's see who will win this year.

Yes St Petersburg Open has started and guess who is playing, Medvedev who had a bye the first round. He will have some competition as Matteo Berrettini and Andrey Rublev are playing in this tournament. Both these two players are coming off good performances in the US Open so it will be interesting to see how they all go.

Oh, thanks man. I was looking if Medvedev is going to enter this tournament so I guess we can say that he is chasing Federer before the end of the year.. Yeah, those 2 are going to be his challenger, or least has a change to win this year as they are really playing high level tennis as well.

Most of the top seeds had a bye in the first round. So probably in the next days, we will see who will remain in the bracket and the potential clash of the top seeds.

Yes, it was Serena who took over after Hingis retire. They have great battles in the past and I think they really hate each other. Venus on the other hand was just like an average player but during her prime he won tournaments as well if I'm not mistaken.

Right now the girls are very inconsistent, no one has dominated the field the why Martina Hingis does back in her days.
