 I feel that he’ll definitely reach the finals and probably win it too.

Kyrgios has momentum, he is playing great, had his chance against Djokovic as well, and won all other matches since Wimbledon

not sure about winning Montreal, but after kicking out Medvedev, he has an open road to final stages, and that could be an easy task, if he continues this way

as I already said, Medvedev is not no.1 potential, he ended up there as coincidence

Yeah, I do agree that Nick has now the momentum and I will be riding on his in this tournament. Maybe bet on him if the player that he will be facing is not name Djkovic or Nadal.

As for Medvedev, another disastrous year for him, probably a number 1 seed that is not as consistent as the others before him who become the top seed, like the big 3. Still though, he will have to prove himself again in the next tournament.

[cryptofrka]

I disagree that Medvedev is not no.1 potential. Other than his mental breakdowns, he has everything needed to dominate the next few years in tennis - along with players like Alcaraz and Sinner.

With Kyrgios - I guess I will forever have my doubts. He is great when stable, which he currently is. But then again - if he gets his breakdown - he will lose to anybody that can hold a racquet. He will buy me when he shows he can be stable for a few years - not a few tournaments.

[aoluain]

I watched the match between Medvedev and Kyrgios, well the last 2 sets! I thought his
performance was brilliant and as one of the commentators said on his day he can beat
anyone. Some of the shots he made were astounding.

I also disagree that Medvedev is not #1 material, at the moment with all that is going on
the Russian players have a lot of distraction and broken schedules, these are not normal
times but he definitely has all the criteria to become #1 and retain that spot for some time.

Medvedev with this loss in Montreal now has a chance to lose his first place at Cinncinati if Rafael Nadal wins the tournament. If Nadal wins the tournament he will be no1 in the world. Kyrgios looks really tired and i wouldnt be shocked if he just gives up on this tournament.

I think its recency bias that you think like that. Medvedev when in form is an absolute beast. He has been to 4 Grandslam finals out of which he's won 1. Men's playing field is pretty stacked up to top 50 that it can't be pure co-incidence that someone just stumbles to world no.1. He has also won the year end ATP finals and has reached to the finals another year. He might not be an all courter and struggles on clay but it isnt like that hasnt been seen before. He's still just 26 and has a long way to go into his career. Being from Russia also became an issue this year and turned into a reason why he couldnt capitalize on the current season. I expect him to be back in form next year.

Medvedev is difficult to asses I think. I once saw a game between him and Tsitsipas and he literally fell apart. I a very little sense he is like Kyrgios or Zverev. Often times the real big guys like the 3 GOAT, they know it. That is also how Nadal or Djokovic will keep beating Kyrgios. Kyrgios has amazing winning streaks in terms of matches but also in terms of games within single matches. The smart guys then just wait for Kyrgios to beat himself up mentally. That story has repeated itself so often that it is already a firm part of the opponents' strategy against Kyrgios. I would do the same, get him destroy himself.

Zverev is the same type of guy but not as bad as Kyrgios. What really distinguished Federer, Djokovic and Nadal from the rest is this absolute power to keep their nerves under the craziest and most hopelessness circumstances. Which at the same time is kind of also one of the most impressive skills they all have.

[bct_ail]

Zverev is the same type of guy but not as bad as Kyrgios.

Hopefully Zverev will be able to play on the court again soon. After tearing 3 external ligaments in his ankle in June, he hopes to return soon. Maybe he will make it in time for the US Open at the end of August. He is in training again and will make a decision in 10 days. He definitely wants to play in the Davis Cup group matches in Hamburg in mid-September.

In last few weeks, we are having some good changes in Nick Kyrgios, and now he is doing amazing game after losing final against Djokovic in Wimbledon now he is on winning streak and with this win against Medvedev now his confidence and game is on their high level if he is going to play like this for some more time then surely he is going to be at top with some great results and here in this tournament he can win his second title in a row.

Medvedev is surely one of the best player in current era but sadly due to some trouble and restrictions he is facing some trouble, but soon he can fight back and can give his best for the game.

Also taking into account that Djokovic won't play, chances are quite good for Zverev to make it pretty far during the US Open. The big IF is whether he can trust his ankle again. Everyone who had injury knows what I am talking about. It is not so much about the injury being cured, it is all about psychology that afterwards needs to be worked on so hard. When you broke your leg in soccer, it is hard to give 100%.

In order for Zverev to really have a chance to win the title, he would have to be at his absolute best and trust his ankle 110%. All the movements that are so important in tennis involve the ankle and its flexibility and stability. I also hope the best for him.

[BitcoinAccepted]

Djokovic will not participate, but how is he going to solve that in the long run? Of course, Covid has been pushed into the background a bit more, but it won't go away completely. So that means that certain countries continue to impose rules to be vaccinated. I would also like to know what exactly is the reason that Djokovic does not get the medicine. He knows it won't make him sick, I have the feeling that this is now purely a matter of principle and he has come to see this as a kind of fight.

I had a bet on Kyrgios last night against De Minaur and he despatched him easily enough,
6-2, 6-3. He plays Hurkacz in the quarter final today which I think he should also win.

Looking at the remaining players I cant see anyone beating him with his current form
provided he can hold it and stay fit with high energy.

A big disappointment, I too expected him to be the winner against Hurkacz. Things have taken place in the opposite way. The first two sets were of good fight from both the players, but the third one was a big disappointment and went as a one sided set. Losing the match 6⁴-7⁷, 7⁷-6⁵, 1-6 which could've made big bets end up losing.

A lot of people lost their bets on that game, i would call it an upset considering how good was kyrgios playing recently, he was doing good on the first two sets we were witnessing a great match but it all changed on the third set when kyrgios lost his focus and he had six double faults which helped hurkacs win easily.

After losing Wimbledon final against Djokovic as he was playing most of the people's he is going to be in prime form and surely will give good encouragement to his fans but sadly in this match he was doing good in first two sets but suddenly lost his touch and lost third set by score of 6 - 1 which was a big shock for me as well because as he was playing in last few matches I also place a big bet on him as I was feeling free money but this all gone very quickly.

Now, in upcoming matches we have to check him again how is he doing and can he handle this all positively or no because he is a good player but still need some more changes which can bring back him into good position beating Medvedev is surely a good achievement for him but now losing against Hurkarz is also a fact.

Kyrgios is always a lot more motivated to play against top players such as Medvedev (you also saw the same on Wimbledon, where he sometimes struggled against low ranked players and than played brilliantly against higher ranked players). Didn't expect Kyrgrios to loose against Hurkacz but there is no such thing as free money.

Kyrgios is a highly motivated player. He surprised everyone with his win against Medvedev and now disappointed losing against Hurkacz. Now it's time to look upon Hurkacz, who have reached the semi finals of singles and doubles on Canadian Open. I think Hurkacz will hold the singles and doubles trophy this time.

Yup, when we thought that he will have an easy road to this tournament, when he upsets Medvedev and then up end facing Hurkacz, who is also inconsistent in his last tournament, suddenly Nick losses big.

Hopefully this setback will still motivate him to get back in winning form. For sure majority of us never see this and maybe lost a bet on Nick, but we can't do anything, bad lost for all of us.

Yes, I guess the winning streak for us and Kyrgios has ended, but as you can see it's very close, the first two sets was really tight, going into a tie breaks. And it the 3rd set, it seems that Nick already lost, looks very tired already.

Nevertheless, with his recent wins, he will be seeded now come US Open. So that will be very interesting to see how Nick will be at that biggest stage. So it will be the familiar Hurkacz vs Ruud in the first semis.

TBH and I'm not saying this because I lost my small bet on Kyrgios v Hurkacz but while I was
thinking of the bet I did consider two factors pertaining to Nick's game:

1. he doesnt play a full Tennis schedule  which leads to point
2. his fitness levels cannot be the same as the guys on tour "full time"

But I went ahead anyway and bet on him! and TBH I will be following him on his next tournament.
In the end I have made some Satoshi's on his winning streak.
