At the moment Andy Murray is fighting back against Berritini to try to get into the final 8. Down a set, trailing 2-1 but he's not out yet. Berritini's been taking the lead with the breaks but Murray is managing to break back. If Murray can somehow manage to get this 4th set, he has a really good chance to win the match as I expect him to outlast Berritini.

Edit: Nevermind, the hopes are gone  . Berritini takes the 4th set and the match.

It even seems that Casper Ruud can become the new number 1 in the world after this tournament. The condition is that he then had to make it to the final (or even win the tournament) and that Nadal would have to be eliminated quickly. He is now 5th in the ranking, so I wonder how they got to that step from 5 to 1. I don't see Ruud as a potential new best player in the world, too unstable at the moment. Alcaraz also plays nicely but US open is not his surface and he really only needs it on clay. But we'll see, Nadal doesn't have it easy either and injured himself in his last match. It was a remarkable moment.

Mateo Berettini won this match pretty much easily 1-3. Andy Murray is not even close to the level of Berettini so this result was expected. Betettini can go far in the us open this year and maybe even win it with his big serve.

Casper Ruud is good player but right now it's not easy for him to win this event in presence of Nadal, Medvedev and Kyrgios these all are having better potential and skills to win with Alcaraz is Dark Horse in this event he can do his best against any player and go for this title even this is not his court, and he is best at Clay, but we can expect something amazing from this youngster as well.

Nadal is surely struggling with his injury but still doing good, and he is currently best in this business after him for me best player to win this title is Nich Kyrgios even having few mental problems but still he can go through for title win as he has done before this event.

No chances Ruud wins any big tournament on hard, he is just solid but nothing special. His surface is clay and there he can hope to achieve big results. This one looks almost like it has Medvedev written on trophy already. Don't see who can stop him at the moment, maybe only Alcaraz. Nadal if he pulls another "medical miracle" or Kyrgios if he gets brain transplant

I will be keeping my eye on Čilić, he won here in the past and maybe he can pull another big result.

De minaur is playing right now against Carreno Busta, and he lost first two sets and won the 3rd, and now they're in the fourth one playing a tiebreak, I really believe in De Minaur's chances to turn the tables on Carreno Busta, and win the match, the odds are high at 4.34, worth a try.

[Vaskiy]

Medvedev vs WU

The match is completely one-sided as expected. Right now Daniil Medvedev leads with 6-4 6-2. Probably the match will end by the third set. Third round have got more interesting matches. One of the audience staked up large number of cups one above the other indicating that Medvedev is on the verge of adding more cups to his career.

Unfortunately, he lost in the fourth set with a tiebreak, it's good odds but we realize that it's not an easy thing to win with that odds.

S. Williams was defeated by A. Tomljanovic, when she could win the second set the chances were very open to her, but age no longer allowed her to continue to play consistently in long durations of games, and she bid farewell in this tournament.

I watched the live game... he made a bad mistake on game point/tie break despite a clear advantage against Carreno Busta.

I have place a bet on Carreno Busta because it was clear that the Spanish was in a good condition.
However the odds was interesting, but after have see first two sets played so bad, likewise De Minaur was just awake or it was just a training match, it was to risky trying to bet on him.

[Daniel91]

I have to admit that I didn't really like Serena Williams before, somehow she seemed too arrogant to me, but now I'm actually sorry that she lost her match and that we won't see her in tennis anymore.
It really seems incredible that she just played her last professional match in the tennis career. She was really very good in this tournament and it seems to me that she could have played at a very high level for a few more years, regardless of the age.
After such good matches, I sincerely hope that she will change her mind about tennis retirement 

[Ratash]

From the 1/16 round games so far tommy paul vs ruud was the best, it was a total war the score was two sets to two going into the fifth one but it seemed that tommy paul gazed out on that last one it was totaly dominated by ruud with a score of 6 0.

There is no doubt that Alcaraz is a better player. But will he be able to defeat Rafael Nadal is something to be seen?

Yes, but when you look at these players and when they were 32, did you think they would be battling at this level at age 36? These guys are just from another star. Many people say there will be another Rafael Nadal and so on, but when? These are just marks that have historic value. It's so crazy that it is hard to imagine that some will ever beat that.

The players who people were expecting to be the next Rafael Nadal aren't in the most favorable of situations right now. As a matter of fact, Rafael Nadal actually ended up outlasting them all in the end. Despite being 36 years old, he is still playing a very good game. It is impossible for anyone to underestimate Rafael Nadal in any way. His age does not make him obsolete. Compared to a lot of younger players, he is still performing much better.

Andrea Petkovic will end her career. She will only play the US Open and then it is over. The reason is that she keeps having too many injuries. Maybe she will play a small tournament in Europe as a farewell. Today she will play against the Olympic champion Belinda Bencic.

I do not think her next match will be easy since she has been injured quite often during these years. So I don’t think she is able to carry on for a long period of time. It does seem like she is really nearing the end of her career. And honestly, I also do not expect too much from her at this stage. Because in my mind she will not be able to deliver what she could previously.

I agree and when he starts a tournament it pretty much depends on his physical condition. If he can play his best he is almost impossible to beat. His mental state is from another universe. All the great talents usually fail at mastering the toughest moments in a game. Defend break balls and match or balls or come back from a bad situation when it is not your best day. That's what sets him apart. Even on his own bad days he is patient and waits for his opponents to lose their focus and start throwing a game away. I wonder whether he himself believed to come back from all his injuries and one day lead the grand slam title table.

You need to admit that the last couple of years that she not was at the same level anymore as before (she lost her 4 last grandslam finals). She has been one of the greatest of all time but all good things come to an end. She played pretty good this tournament (especially against Kontaveit), but it is nice for her to retire on home soil!

that was her goal most probably, to retire at home, on biggest tournament, I do not think that she expected to win it, her form is far from even good, not talking about her top performances, and I am sure that she knows that

nevertheless, it was nice to look her matches again, yeah, some where really solid and intense

congrats on whole career, and best of luck in future life

heah I lost straight away, it was only $10 but I still hurts a bit, despite Carreno Busta getting a little old, he's still in good shape to play more than three sets, anyways, I'm thinking today about betting on Shapovalov against Rublev, Denis lost the first set but I think he might win as well, due minaur turned me down but I hope Shapovalov won't, he has been inconsistent but same as Rublev, betting on the underdog is the best option for me.

arrogant or not, Serena Williams has always been a really talented player, if we just put aside her behavior and just think about how she plays, who will have to praise her?

the achievements that she has achieved are unbelievable, she has done so much in tennis and i think it is safe to say that she is quite respected all around the world
but it doesn’t matter how skilled a player is, he/she will eventually have to retire, and i honestly feel that the time has come for Serena William
obviously, people are most likely to disagree with me, but everyone can have different opinions

If you look at all this results all favorites won their matches whoever parlayed all of this matches made a nice profit honestly. Medvedev and Kyrgios are looking good so far,i am hoping to see them fight against each other in some part of the us open

[casperBGD]

Rublev and Shapovalov are playing good tennis at the moment, and it is 1:1, with great fight in third set
both are looking pruned to pass into next round

Nadal is playing Gasquet later tonight, that one could be interesting as well, Nadal lost first set in each of previous two matches, and then start playing on usual level, is that a new tactic?

It was quite a disastrous match for De Minaur. He did not play well. And even though he had some clear advantages in that match it is quite safe to say that he blew those advantages. He could not actually make anything positive out of what advantages he had. And I have to say his opponent Carreno Busta played very well. He took his chances wisely. But I feel it is more about De Minaur not playing well in that match. Before the match, I thought it would be quite close and quite interesting. I think it is safe to say that it was not the case.
