It seems that nadal is having difficulties against tiafoe, he is behind two sets to one he needs to win this one to stay alive in this tournament, this set seems to be a tight one they both won their service games so far i think we might see a tie break on this one.

The match is moving into the hands of Tiafoe, already he have won two sets and leads the fourth set 5-3. Few players who are expected to reach the finals have gone out. Now it looks like Nadal to be the next one. To make a recovery into doesn't look like he have got the stamina.

In the match between Norrie and Rublev, there is no big game. Rublev have won it on direct sets 6-4 6-4 6-4 and moved to the quarter finals.

Nadal played the US Open injured, he doesn't want to quit, maybe he wanted to win it and be at the top of atp rating, but Tifaoe's performance was stunning, a lot of big winners in this match, the crowd was going crazy, it definitely helped him.

Yes there was indeed some absolutely fabulous shots played by both. Everyone left
in the tournament now fancies their chances even more, this win by Tiafoe actually opens
up the chances for a lot more players, TBH I feel now that Alcaraz, Sinner, Tiafoe, Ruud, Rublev
or Kyrgios could take the title, although Alcaraz or Kyrgios have the greater chances I think.

Interestingly Cilic is the only player left with a GS title!

These are exciting times.

but close to be out, 2:4 in fifth set, and Alcaraz does seem prepared to close this match in his advance

will be interesting to see who will it, I think that few of them have chances, and all will push to the limit now when all the best are out

expected more from Nadal, especially after Medvedev was out, but he is down as well, pitty for Djokovic that he missed this chance

Great and exciting match between Tifaoe and Nadal. Since Nadal has been eliminated anything is possible. Ruud still has to play his match against Berretini. I do not see a favourite there and both have the possibility to reach the semi-finals.

[Trofo]

Nadal out so wide open draw for the remaining players. Kyrgios and Alcaraz are now favourites for sure.

Watched last 2 sets from Alcaraz - Čilić and it is absolutely incredible what kind of attacks Alcaraz can defend against. Čilić played good match but it looked like it was just a matter of time even when he got early break in 5th set. My over games bet passed easy.

Reinvesting that money on Berettini ML, I am always preching how Ruud isn't anything special outside clay so have to back it up even though Berettini doesn't look like he is in best form.

I also watched the full game and I must say this win is more than well deserved. I was wondering all the time how Tiafoe can accelerate the ball with little to no movement in that manner. He has such an incredibly fast twist in his wrist, it sometimes was even without taking a swing and then he fired a rocket you couldn't even see on TV

The serves were genius as well and saved him many critical situations. I hope he can keep that level and then I would say even Tiafoe can compete for the title. Nadal lost the game with his first serve I think. I was hoping for Nadal to win because I like him as a sportsman, but with time passing by during the game I thought this is Tiafoe's day.

It was amazing to see the joy in his eyes and how real the guy is. The biggest win of his career with an outstanding performance, what more can a sportsman wish for?

Čilić really came close against Alcaraz - he played great throughout most of the match. Alcaraz has shown why he's the future no. 1 though - and was ready for the challenge.

He's playing Sinner next - who really struggled against Ivushka. Sinner has a better h2h but I feel Alcaraz will be the one that goes to the semis. It will be the best QF match to watch.

I think all the matches today have the potential to be very entertaining just based on the
fact that they are all of similar ability or there isnt a massively wide gap between them,
and that means I have no idea what way to bet.

I think I would like to take Berrettini and Sinner on handicaps but I'm not getting them
big enough for my liking.

[bitbollo]

Sinner against Alcaraz will be a great match "as usually".
Both players are the best young performer and would be a pleasure see them play against.
Alcaraz is a favorite in this match with an odds of @1.50.
They have played on this surface only 1 time (Alcaraz win).
On 2022 Sinner has won all match (2 !) , and generally speaking they have won 2 match each!
It would be a great match... As Italian of course I am a great fan of Jannik Sinner, And I hope I could achieve semi-final

It's gonna be a great match indeed, I might go with the over though, this has the potential for a marathon 5 sets match because they are two of the hottest and fast rising players we have.

But I will favor Alcaraz here, again it will be a back and forth match. But I think Alcaraz has the edge in terms of mentality. And it seems Alcaraz is now one of the favorite since Rafa is out and Medvedev.

[dezoel]

Today we have two matches with first match is going to play between Berrettini vs Ruud both players are on same level and have enough quality, but history is clearly favoring Ruud he has done good performance against Berrettini but in this Tournament as things are coming I am feeling it's going to be no easy for any player take this match easily odds are also on level for these both players, but I am having Ruud as better and can win this match.

In second match of this day is going to play between Kyrgios vs Khachanov after sending back home to Medvedev another Russian in front of Kyrgios most chances he will win this match without any problem and enter into semifinal without any problem as Nadal is also out of this event now most chances we are going to have new champion so here I have two players first in Alcaraz or Kyrgios know who will take this honor for this final result we have to wait for last day of this event.

I will follow Trofo for the first match as Ruud main specialty is clay so will place a bet on Berrettini. For the match of Kyrgios vs Khachanov, Krygrios is the big favorite but he needs to keep his mind together, it has happened multiple times in the past, that he playes the previous round a brilliant match and than let it slide the match after.

Berrettini's speciality is grass(no pun intended). It's a 50-50 match up. A coinflip at best.

Kyrgios will be an easy W here, odds are equally shit tho. I might put a fiverr on Kyrgios -1.5 Set handicap, just to enjoy the match lol

Kyrgios wears his heart on his sleeve, I don't think it will affect his gameplay. It's better to let out your emotions, rather than keeping them bottled up and fucking up your thoughts. I believe his attitude is a merit for Kyrgios.

[Bananington]

Nadal is also out of this event now most chances we are going to have new champion

This grand slam has had some really good twist to it, some fresh faces in the quarterfinal and the regular names have been sent home. For all the players still in the slam, they have never gotten past this stage in a grand slam, hence they will all be putting in their best to make history. Kyrgios is most likely to win this if I am asked, he has persisted long enough and deserves it.

[mv1986]

Are we all watching the same game? 

Berrettini needs to step up his game by 1000%. This second set must be in his favor to change the game for the better. If he loses that one as well I don't think he can make a come back. He is now serving better but that's still a long way to go to find back to his usual performance...

Right now we have Ruud vs Berrettini and after two sets Ruud is leading by 2 - 0 which was expected for me, he is doing good game even he is clay specialist. Surely after his best against Nadal, Trofo deserve some better honor from fans, and he can do much better in coming matches as Nadal was struggling with injury but still Trofo done good job and won match after four sets.

Now after this match we have another exciting match as Kyrgios is going to face Khachanov who is also exciting player but right now Kyrgios is doing amazing job and I agree about this he needs to keep his mind together because mostly after one big win he lost concentrate and done big mistakes which are not helpful for him in this crucial match.

[aoluain]

Its Ruud in 3 sets, last one a tiebreak. I missed the first two sets and by what the commentators
were saying he was electric in the first two sets with only 4 unforced errors, in the third set though
he lost his way a bit but still managed to get the job done.

Going by the Tennis live rankings Ruud is now up to 2nd place! " If " he wins the final he will go into 1st,
thats unbelievable! I didnt see that coming at all.

Khachanov has become it. After Kyrgios was more convincing against Medvedev before Khachanov was more focused this time. This is the first time Khachanov has reached a Grand Slam semi-final.

If Rudd wins and he will be #1 was not on my list either. But he played very convincingly against Berrettini and I would not be surprise if he reaches the final.

[Ruud]...in the third set though
he lost his way a bit but still managed to get the job done.

Berrettini was winning 5-2 the third set and he was able to loss all 5 (FIVE) game in a row !
Dismal game by the Italian player, he is strong (some shots are always impressive) but such performance are really unbelievable . 
Probably Ruud can reach the final, he is playing good tennis and this is not the first good result he achieve this year.
