U.S. Open 2021.

[nuraman00]

Djokovic's Quarter:

Djokovic to the SF.

Djokovic might meet Nishikori in the 3rd round, but it should be an easy 3 set win for Djokovic.

Zverev's Quarter:

Zverev vs. Shapovalov QF: Rooting for Shapovalov, but think Zverev wins this in 4.

Tsitsipas' Quarter:

Murray vs. Tsitsipas 1st round: Wow. Hope it's a good match, but Tsitsipas probably wins this in 3.

Krygios vs. Rublev 4th round: I think Krygios is that unpredictable guy that will have a good run. Krygios in 3.

Krygios vs. Tsitsipas QF: I think Krygios will keep it up. Krygios in 5. Ok, I'm changing my mind, because I want a Tsitsipas rematch with Djokovic. Tsitsipas in 4.

Medvedev's Quarter:

Tsonga vs. Ruud 1st round: Good to see Tsonga back. I'll pick him to win a round. Tsonga in 4.

Isner vs. Medvedev QF: Rooting for Isner, but don't like this for Isner. Medvedev in 3. I hope if Isner loses, it's not in straight sets.

Djokovic vs. Zverev SF: Zverev's double faults still scare me. Maybe he can win, but I'm taking Djokovic in 3. I don't think the rematch from the Olympics will be as good.

Tsitsipas vs. Medvedev SF: Tsitsipas's steadiness will help. Tsitsipas in 4.

Djokovic vs. Tsitsipas Finals: Unlike the French Open, Tsitsipas wins this time. Tsitsipas in 4!

Women's Draw:

Barty's Quarter:

Swiatek vs. Barty QF: Barty is more proven, Swiatek is good but I don't believe in her chances yet. Barty in 2.

Karolina Pliskova's Quarter:

Kvitova vs. Andreescu 4th round: Kvitova is more proven over her career. Kvitova in 2.

Kvitova vs. Pliskova QF: Pliskova just does better on hard courts. Pliskova in 2.

Osaka's Quarter:

Gauff vs. Kerber 3rd round: Gauff is more consistent week in, week out. Gauff in 3.

Gauff vs. Osaka 4th round: Gauff will be sharper this time, and more sure of herself. Gauff in 2.

Halep vs. Svitolina 4th round: Halep is a title contender. Halep in a tough 3 setter.

Gauff vs. Halep QF: If both players are on their A game, this should have a lot of great rallies. Not sure who wins, but I've been high on Gauff's potential to win a title this year, so I'll say Gauff in 3.

Sabalenka's Quarter:

I have no idea who comes out of this quarter. We might see an unseeded player. Or a sub 16 ranked player.

I'll pick Jabeur.

Barty vs. Pliskova SF: Barty leads 6-2, but 5 out of 8 of their matches have gone 3 sets. It's less likely, but I'll take Pliskova in 2. If it goes 3, Barty most likely wins. But I'll pick Pliskova as my choice.

Gauff vs. Jabeur SF: If Gauff stays calm, I think she'll win. Gauff in 2.


Pliskova vs. Gauff Finals: If Pliskova is on, I think Gauff will have a hard time. Pliskova in 2.

Krygios sucked in the first round.

Good 5 setter between Tsitsipas and Murray.

 

[nuraman00]

Osaka looked great, not feeling good about my Gauff pick in a potential matchup with Gauff anymore.

 

[nuraman00]

I didn't realize until now that Isner lost in the first round. I've always hated his tiebreak record at majors.

He doesn't win enough of them.

Surprised Stephens beat Gauff, but I will keep picking Gauff to go far in the future.

I didn’t even realize the USO started this year with Fed not playing.

 

[Hs0022]

Who can stop Djoker? He will become the winningest major player soon. The most unlikable player outside his own country I think.

 

[nuraman00]

Tsitsipas, Zverev are the most likely candidates. I'm not a believer in Medvedev against Djokovic.

I don't think Shapovalov or Rublev would be competitive either.

Maybe someone like Auger-Aliasime or Opelka could play a good match, it is unknown how some of them would really play. Best chance for them is to beat Djokovic in an earlier round, not in the Finals.

Tsitsipas and Zverev could do it in a Finals.

 

[nuraman00]

Wish both Pliskovas would have won.

Good match with Karolina Pliskova and Anisova yesterday.

 

[nuraman00]

I didn’t even realize the USO started this year with Fed not playing.

Since Nadal, Fed, and Djokovic all have 20, I wish at least 2 of them would have played.

Medvedev

 

[bksballer89]

This been a great tournament and we are now getting to the weekend

 

[bksballer89]

Down goes Tsitsipas!!!!!

Thank god after that BS he pulled with Murray

 

[nuraman00]

I liked the Alcaraz match, and how he played. But I wish that Tsitsipas would have won, because I think he can challenge Djokovic.

 

[nuraman00]

This been a great tournament and we are now getting to the weekend

There's been something good every day. Even good matches on Ashe.

In past years, there were too many straight set matches on Ashe. Not as much this year.

 

[bksballer89]

Down goes Osaka. Great tournety

 

[bksballer89]

So all of the matches on Ashe went to a deciding set yesterday

 

[bksballer89]

Another fun day

 

[bksballer89]

Shelby Rogers with the huge upset.

I don't know if because full stands are back but this feels like the best GS in a while

 

[nuraman00]

Wheelchair player Dylan Alcott is going for the golden slam.

Commentator and former ATP player Brad Gilbert said he tried wheelchair tennis once. He could not get the motion down of hitting a ball, and then moving your wheelchair. He said it was too hard / different.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Leylah Fernandez!!

Stunned the stunned one, dusted the miserable one, then whupped Monfils' squeeze.

Amazing little player.
