I'm trying to decide if any of the young up and coming Americans have the potential to win grand slams...I think Tiafoe and Opelka have the brightest futures.

I miss Roddick making deep runs every odd year Aussie. It's 2017 which is why I bring that up.

2016 Sock would have folded at 4-0 in that tiebreaker. Hope he can make this interesting.

Poor Berdych. An elderly gimp Federer is still smoking that arse.

I love how these guys like Hewitt and Berdych break up with players and then trade up for models/actresses.

Somebody said on another forum that McEnroe mentioned Novak has a "mini Tiger Woods situation." I know there were rumors about a Bollywood chick. I thought he got through all of that. Dude is so weird, he has a hugging guru or something now.

So who wins? Nishikori or Federer?

I really can't see grandpa Fed piecing together multiple great efforts at this point and taking down a top five player who is in good form. But, underestimate Fed at your own risk.

Yeah, I actually think he beats Nishikori, but gets demolished by Murray. He has too tough a road at this point.

Synopsis of Rafa

Looks smaller than last year
Hitting forehand with crazy top spin
Looks like he is not as quick
Not digging for gold as much

Have to have something to sped the matches up. I would love to see him get a time violation just to see his and Uncle Tony's meltdown.

Both of the guys I follow like Simon vs. Raonic. I don't know what people are seeing in Raonic that makes him look vulnerable. He's not a true servebot anymore.

I'm just gonna play it safe and take my boy Bautista over the Beast.

But that's where he was hiding the special powers for key points.
