Anyone feel that Chung can pull off the upset?

I would be shocked. I think Fed works him over and over. I don't see Chung as a matchup problem for Fed. But who knows, kid has youth on his side, maybe he draws it out and Fed pulls up lame in the middle of the third or something like that, but I don't see it happening.

I think Fed's best chance of losing is if Cilic gets through KE, and even then, I expect Fed to come away with #20.

Do yall think the Edmunds Cilic match is going to be good

Definitely a matchup of two superior forehands. If Cilic is serving up to his capability and makes Edmund return off of the BH wing, then I think Edmund is going to struggle. The question is will Edmund be able to frustrate Cilic and attack with his FH. If he does that then he might just take him down. Edmund has a bit of a rep of not being mentally tough, or maybe that is a little harsh, but definitely has had trouble putting people away. Both guys will come forward, which I like to see, so I'm hoping for a good match.

Woz takes the first set. Not that it matters anyway. Kerber will probably buzzsaw her way to another slam.

I’m on the same page as you. Would love for Halep or Woz to get one.

She might be in trouble here. Momentum is suddenly shifting.

Yep. Going to be an interesting close to this set.

This is hard for me to watch.

Woz holds after coming getting down, battling back, derping again, and battling back. Finish this, girl.

Let’s see how nerves are doing on these service points.

Made it far more interesting than she needed to, but glad to see her get to the Finals. Hopefully Halep can join her and someone can get their 1st.
