I think tsetse will get a set and make it a fight. I wonder which ninja will show up tonight. He is capable of upsets in this spot. But, he is just as likely to retire early or lose quickly due to fatigue. Raonic should roll, but Nole is his kryptonite and he would be destroyed in the semis.

I would love to see Tsetse win. But Nadal looks great right now. He is going to whip that freaking forehand of his to Tsetse's one-hander all damn day.

I'd love it if it was Tsetse v. Raonic; Poo-man, Raonic or Nishikori. I want some fresh faces in a final.

Bunk have you read the Eurosport podcast transcript with Serena’s coach from the 19th? It’s amazing how he admits they were wrong but they weren’t wrong in US Open

Hate to say it but Collins run is coming to an end vs Kvitova. She dominated Barty last night. I also think Osaka hasn’t played her best tennis and Serena takes her out.

Imo We are looking at a Kvitova vs Serena final and I lean Kvitova at the moment.

I think tsetse will give Rafa a decent battle. Rafa will try to snack on that one hand backhand, but tsetse is a bigger guy and those players deal with the spin better than most. Milos is the third best player in the draw IMO, but Djoke is absolute kryptonite for him. Milos would need Nishi to wear out Djoker to have any chance.

SMS, I didn't see the thing about Serena's coach justifying the stupid behavior. She has always been socially akward. I don't know if it's upbringing or sense of entitlement, but whatever it is, her sister ended up the better personality.

I'm not so sure. Rafa is in really good form and his serve is rocking.

I actually think Rafa will win this tournament.

Rafa has had an easy bracket but he has still been dominate. Tsis could take a set but I anticipate 3-0, 3-1 match. Experience is usually critical at this stage in a major.

Rafa and Djoke, I see a great championship match

Some days I think Svitolina is hot and other days she is pasty and meh. Either way, I suspect she is a freak in the sheets. Osaka just got a break to 5-3 in the first. I think this will be a long match, unless one of them gets tired.

Querrey and Harrison in the semis. Play Mahut/Herbert who just beat the Bryan brothers.
