What a great match between Federer and Del Potro, I was right about it going to 4 sets but I thought Federer would win the match. But I did say that I wouldn't be surprised to see Del Potro win the match as he does play good tennis against Federer when they play and has beaten him in the US Open final a few years ago. Not sure if he will beat Nadal as he is in top form and look set to win this US Open.
indeed. this match will be remembered for a long time. both have played very well but Del Porto especially always tries to play well against Roger Federal. especially Del has received a great support from the crowd.
normally Roger always takes this benefit wherever he plays but this time Del has taken this privilege. by the way, he is going to face another living legend in the semi final.

Projection Atp Ranking after Us Open:

1)Nadal     8185 if he loses in the semifinals, 8665 if he  loses in final, 9465 if he wins the tournament
2)Federer   7505
3)Murray    6790
4)A.Zverev 4470 (Best Ranking)
5)Cilic         4155 (Best Ranking)
6)Djokovic 4125 (7th place if Carreno-Busta wins the tournament)
7)Thiem      4030 (8th place if Carreno-Busta wins the tournament)
8)Wawrinka 3690 (9th place if Carreno-Busta wins the tournament)
9)Dimitrov    3575 (10th place if Carreno-Busta wins the tournament)

-Carreno Busta(Best Ranking):
if he wins the tournaments 4135 (7h place)
if he loses in final 3335 (10th place),
if he loses in semifinals 2855 (10th place if Anderson or  Del Potro do not win  the tournament, otherwise 11th)



I think they should find new methodology in determining the tennis ranking, Rafael Nadal has won one grand slam trophy this year and is currently World Number one whiles Federer has won two grand slams titles already and is about 600 points off Nadal, i believe winning a grand slam should catapult someone even higher on the ATP ranking.

Federer unfortunately has played a few tournaments this year.
Nadal, however, has made a great season: he won Roland Garros, final at the Australian Open, is now in the semi-final at the US Open and has also won 2 master tournaments 1000 (Madrid and Montecarlo).
So,Nadal surely deserves to be the first in the ranking atp

Argentina's Juan Martin del beat Roger Federer in four sets to reach the US Open semi-finals.
He goes on to face Rafael Nadal, who earlier beat Russian teenager Andrey Rublev.
What are your thoughts about this semi?

Nadal has the edge between the two, my speculation Nadal will go to the final and even win the grand slam, because of his experience plus the momentum of winning streak it will catapult him to the final.
So sad Federer out from this event. I expected him in finals, but unfortunately, he defeated by Del Potro. It was an excellent match b/w Potro vs Federer. Bad luck for Federer. Now everyone put eyes on Nadal. I think who will b/w Nadal vs Potro they will win this trophy.


Yes, its sad to see Federer go out against Del Potro. He played very well and I consider this to be his greatest performance so far. The question is, can he perform to the next level against Rafa? For me, it looks like he gave it all in this match and not sure if he has still something in his tank after a hard match against Thiem and Federer. But Federer reaching the quarters, its such a accomplished, he was pushed during the 1st and 2nd round and still managed to win. I guess he's luck run out against the resurging Del Potro. If I'm correct, Nadal has the edge vs Del Potro, let's see if this continue. I also would pick Nadal against him, Rafa has the experience and very tough to beat once he got into a semi-finals.

Fantastic victory for Del Potro, he is a great champion but was very unlucky in his career with too many injuries.
 The decisive moment of the match was the tie-break of the third set in which Federer wasted 4 set points!
Nadal vs. Del Potro is the anticipated final, who wins this game will also win the tournament!
Nadal seems in great shape but Del Potro can do another epic match and win!
I also think that Nadal is favorite for championship title. Only chance that Delpo has is to push Nadal hard from the beginning, to get inside his head. Nadal had some bad moments in few matches at the beginning of the tournament when players made great pressure on him. I just wouldn't like to see poor quality match in this semi.
All congratulations to Del Potro for victory in yesterdays match. He showed great mental strength. Amazing last two performances, I really love to watch him when he is playing his best tennis.

Wow. Del Potro is really playing this good in this tournament. I thought the Roger could easily beat him because Del Potro just came from a hard fought match against Thiem. But just like thay say, "the ball is round". However, I still think that Nadal can overcome Del Potro here. Eventhough he upsets Federer, we will ba facing another veteran, but if was able to get pass Nadal here, I'm sure he will get the chance to raise the trophy this year. But I'm betting on Nadal here.

Well Nadal is through to the semifinals after winning easily against Rublev in straight sets. Rublev didn't really put up much of a fight as Nadal crushed him. I don't think it will be the same for Federer though as Del Potro will be a tough challenge for Federer as in the past Del Potro has played well against Federer even beating him in a US Open final many years ago now. I still think Federer will win but it will be tough, maybe in 4 sets.

Fantastic Nadal just won against Rublev dominating the 3-0 match (6-1 6-2 6-2).
Now let's wait for Federer to see an epic match! who wins the semifinals will also be No. 1 in the ranking atp!

Fantastic match for Rafa but I think that Rublev was scared of the big match and he had to much better.
Rublev never made it to those levels in his life (he is just 19 YO). I believe that when he will get a little more experience he can win every player in the ATP round.

yes, he is a great young player and in any case it is a great result a quarter-final in a slam tournament! he will do his best ranking in the top 40! he has the talent to enter the top 10 in the coming years!

Nadal is through to the quarter finals after winning in straight sets against Dolgopolov, it was no challenge for Nadal as he breezed through only losing 7 games in the 3 sets. Thiem is beating Del Potro in the 4th set and should make it through. Now we just wait to see if Federer can make it through to the quarter finals when he faces Kohlschreiber soon.
What an incredible match Delpo and Thiem played. So interesting and quality duel. And what a comeback Del Potro made... amazing. He was ill these last couple of days, doctor gave him pills during the medical timeout in first set, he was feeling pretty bad. I thought that he has no chance to win, but how wrong I was... Fantastic. It would be great for him to rest and recover good, as much as he can, because Federer just won the match against Kolschriber and it was pretty easy task for him, three sets, hour and fifty minutes, didn't even sweat.

Quality match indeed. I really thought that Thiem would really take the game in straight sets, Delpo appeared physically finished earlier in the match, but appeared fueled by the crowd and found a way to earn a spot in the quarterfinals.

Now he must face the dominant Federer, who cruised past Philipp Kohlschreiber without even allowing a break point chance.This victory marked his second consecutive straight sets win as he approaches a potential semifinal showdown with Nadal. Rafa also has no problem, beating Alexandr Dolgopolov in straight sets with little resistance.

Yep Federer won easy in his match as did Nadal and it's looking likely the two will face off in the semifinal. Both are coming good at the right time as Federer is now winning in straight sets as in the earlier matches he was getting pushed to 5 sets.
Maybe but I am not so sure about it anymore because Del Potro is giving his everything and is in great form if you ask me . He didn't drop a set except against Thiem in the whole tournament , my guess would be Pablo Busta v Nadal in the finals and Nadal to win the tourney Smiley

I hope that Nadal will win this tournament. I bet on his win $ 500. I think that he should beat the Russian easily, as he beat Dolgopolov from Ukraine

If Nadal faces Federer in the semi final match, then this match will be very difficult to guess who will win. I think Federer will win and go finals. Suppose Potro comes to semi final then Nadal will win this title there is no doubt for me. I wish any of these two people can win this title. Federer won the last title, so this time I wish Nadal wants to lift the US open cup.
