Its too bad that Fognini trains more like Kyrios then Nole. Other than Federer he is probably the most gifted player on tour.

Pleasant weather for the first 2 rounds.

Wish I bought tickets now. Usually it is high 80s/low 90s and very humid for the open.

Won't get above 75 on Monday or Tuesday and will be below 85 for both days of round 2

I used to go Thur and Fri. Friday is crazy though. I have my eye out for free tickets though. If I score some then I will head down. I think next year for sure. Probably will be Feds last year so dont want to miss that plus I have not seen the new updates yet.

I was there last year but unfortunately had my days mixed up. Went for round 1 when I really wanted to go for round 2. At least I saw the new updates but really wanted to go this year and get either grounds admission or a ticket to either Armstrong/Grandstand.

I was there 3 of the last 4 years I believe so not killing myself for missing it.

Just slightly annoyed because of how amazing the weather will be for the first few days.

Men's Draw:

Djokovic's Quarter:

Wawrinka vs. Kevin Anderson 3rd round: I don't have as much confidence in Wawrinka anymore. Anderson in 3.

Djokovic to the SF.

Federer's Quarter:

Federer to the SF.

Thiem's Quarter:

Thiem vs. Tsitsipas QF: This could be the match of the tournament. I'll go with Thiem in 5.

Nadal's Quarter:

Cilic vs. Isner 3rd round: Neither player has much momentum. Hard to tell, I'll go with Isner in 4.

Isner vs. Nadal 4th round: Sometimes this is a good matchup. I'm not feeling it this time. Nadal in 3.

Nadal to the SF.

My predictions are unrealistic, as I have all top 4 players advancing to the SF. Oh well.


Djokovic vs. Federer SF: I've always said I like Federer on a surface more where he can generate break points. Hopefully it plays out that way. I guess I'll do Federer in 5, if my reasoning holds to form. I don't know if it will.

Thiem vs. Nadal SF: Thiem in 4, no good reason why, just because.

Federer vs. Thiem Finals: Thiem in 4. Hopefully I'm wrong, although I like Thiem in general. If it goes to a 5th or 5th set tiebreaker, then Federer.

Women's Draw:

Osaka's Quarter:

I don't think Osaka makes it through, so I'll pick Sabalenka.

Halep's Quarter:

This section is loaded.

Stephens vs. Muguruza 3rd round: Stephens in 3.

Halep vs. Wozniacki 4th round: I'm rooting for Wozniacki because I want to see her have more success at this point in her career. Hard to go against Halep right now. Halep in 2.

Kvitova vs. Stephens 4th round: Kvitova in 2.

Halep vs. Kvitova QF: Hard to go against Halep again. Halep in 2.

Pliskova's Quarter:

I think Kenin makes it through.

Venus vs. Svitolina 2nd round: Svitolina in 3.

Barty's Quarter:

Kerber vs. Serena QF: Kerber in 2. Just her return style of game is dangerous.


Sabalenka vs. Halep SF: I guess I'll go against Halep now, just for the unpredictability. Sabalenka in 3.

Kenin vs. Kerber SF: Kenin in 3, again for the unpredictability.


Sabalenka vs. Kenin Finals: Sabalenka in 2. The US Open Womens Finals rarely has 3 setters.

My favorite GS is here. This and the Aussie Open are my 2 favorites. Not only are they both on my favorite surface but I also get to watch the most live matches at these 2 events. Barely get to see any live matches of the French Open or Wimbledon. This was the first year I got to see lots of Wimbledon live matches in years thanks to the ESPN+ app

Nice analysis. 1 thing though you will have to replace Anderson. He pulled out yesterday with a knee injury.

Ugh, I hate injuries in sports.

Maybe Wawrinka can get far, and we can see another classic with him and Djokovic then.

Really miss the Monday finals though.

Having the finals at 4 PM on the first NFL sunday of the year is really dumb
