@Regular_P how we feel about rafa breh?

Monfils gonna do us a solid or you think Roger gon handle Rafa like he has the last 7 times

Nadal's looking strong and has had minimal court time. I would feel better if the Stan/Medvedev winner was on his side of the bracket.

Fed can beat him again but I'd prefer Monfils handled him. I have no faith in Monfils coming through in a big match though. God knows he has the talent to get it done.

I'm not so certain that Monfils beats Berrettini

If his serve is on...watch out.

Yeah I got to thinking after my last post and realised they hadn't met at US to my memory. I'd fancy Federer on this surface.

I'd fancy Rafa slightly due to I think Wawrinka or Medvedev can wear Fed down if Fed isn't clicking.

But if both make it to the finals with a full gas tank, you're right, Fed is the favorite and rightfully so. They CAN'T blow it this year and not give us the match up we want, right

Stan will be a tough task for Fed but if Fed is serving at goat levels then he should win.

Medvedev's on pace for like 30 double faults right now...and he hasn't been broken yet.

I hate when commentators speculate about injuries. They've been talking about Medvedev's possible leg injury the whole set

Nadal wants no smoke with Roger on hard courts

 

[Regular_P]

Stan has not been sharp at all; neither guy has.

clutch volleying saved Medvedev

Stan should be disgusted with himself for losing that tiebreak and set.

Stan had two WOAT forehands on his set point

Fed's been off all tournament, Nadal will eat him

My nightmare scenario is Medvedev winning this match, getting shot up with god knows what by some Russian scientists before the Fed match, beasting, then his body falls apart in the final against Nadal and losing 2, 0, 1.
