Match on-going, Medvedev taking the first set 6-4, it wasn't a breeze though as Zverev was able to hold the score 4-4 until Medvedev took the last 2 points of the first set.

Daniil Medvedev played an incredible match, i missed the initial set and thought about wagging a bet on him considering his form this year and i first noticed him when he made a big mess when i waged a bet against him this year where he defeated Andy Murray, Milos Raonic and Wilfried Tsonga and had a really tough match against Rafael Nadal where Daniil Medvedev challenged him till the end. Congrats to the new champion.

As I have said in my many posts here, Medvedev, amongst the top breed of young players of today, has the chance to really break into the top 3. He is really on a Final streak, his last 6:

Events:                    Results:

Washington, D.C.    L to Kyrgios
Montreal                 L to Nadal
Cincinnati               W against Goffin
US Open                 L to Nadal
St. Petersburg         W against Coric
Shanghai                W against Zverev

He just need to break and win a Grand Slam next year to cement himself. I thought that there will be a 3rd set, but eventually won in Zverev 6-4, 6-1 in just over 70 minutes.

That was a dominating performance by Medvedev and now he will move even closer to Federer for that number 3 ranking which will be a huge achievement if he is able to overtake Federer. I agree he now needs to win a Grand Slam to really show that he has taken that next step to becoming a great player like the big three.

I agree he now needs to win a Grand Slam to really show that he has taken that next step to becoming a great player like the big three.

The big 3 has dominated the Grand Slam for more than 8 years, there are only a few players who are able to win the Grand Slam besides the big 3. Medvedev has a great chance to win the Grand Slam next year, I think Australia Open or US Open He can win one of them. Competition in men's singles is getting more attractive.

That's right, new names are emerging to compete with the top three tennis players. Yes, one of the most promising star is medvedev and I also believe that he is capable of bringing home either Australia or US open championship.

It is still attractive as far as I'm concern, although the big 3 is still a dominant force to reckon with, we have players like D. Medvedev rising to the occasion and showing not just his skills but his mentality to go and chase Federer at the end of the year for the third spot.

If he was able to overtake it, Roger Federer might think that it's about time to retire.

Right now too much talk about mens new generation players but no one talking about we have one really new sesation in femals as well she lost against Osaka in third round of US open and and won against worlds best players in very few weeks look like we have new Serena Williams she is right now just 15 and won in WTA SINGLES Linz Gauff C after beating @Bertens, @Petkovic and @Ostapenko look like great player of new generation.

I agreed with what you said about Medvedev but you guys seem to overlook the capacity A. Zverev for he did a wonderful job by beating    
R. Federer in the Quarter-final stage and if you check him very well he feels disappointed to have lost the final game to D. Medvedev. I believe he will put my effort in the next open game.

It's too early to say if she would be the next Serena Williams, but as young as 15 and already playing and beating world class tennis players, she could have a bring future but we will have to see what she can offer.

There are a lot of good female tennis players today, and overall the health of female players are very different as compare to men because of inconsistency, Osaka started this year as number 1 but then slide to number 3. That's why it is hard to see who will be the next generation or at least someone who is as dominant as Serena during her prime years.

True, just by looking at his last 6 Finals appearance, it's not a easy feat to accomplished, just imagine if he won the US Open against Nadal this year. That's why next year will be a big test for him and the rest of the young and upcoming players to really put pressures on the old guards here. And if he wins one Grand Slam next year then there's no doubt that he is the on the rise and give the big 3 time to contemplate.

@TravelMug - True, women's side is very unpredictable, no single name pops up in the last 3-4 years. Lots of name in the horizon so let's see how it pans out if Gauff has what it takes to be on top.

Antwerp Open ongoing:

Big news here is Andy Murray, he is thru to the next round of 16. No upsets so far as the top 4 went on to win their respective games. (1) Monfils, (2) Goffin, (3) Schwartzman (4) Wawrinka.

That's why the focus here in Murray, and let's see how far he goes here. He is slowly getting into the groove and maybe he is inspired because his a expectant father, third child actually.

I guess the last great womens player we have seen in Graf/Hingis/Serena Williams. After that it's been a roller coaster ride for the womens side, who still remember Caroline Wozniacki who become number 1 without actually winning? How about Safina?

I said that there are a lot of good women's player today, but they are not elite levels as compare to the top champions in the late 90's to mid 2000's.

I haven't seen Antwerp open yet, does Medvedev and Djokovic have a decent run in this tournament? I wanna see this two play for the finals since they mostly identical in their games.

The reason you haven't seen Antwerp open because it's relatively new tournament added to the 250 tennis, fairly young I would say, just started in 2016. Previous champions are Gasquet, Tsonga and K. Edmund.

Speaking of Tsonga, he was upset by G. Simon, so former champions Tsonga and K. Edmund are out already.  Simon vs Wawrinka in the quarterfinals tomorrow. While Andy Murray will battle it out against Cuevas as to who will move in the QF.

Have the rankings been updated as Medvedev is currently showing he is on 5920 points which still puts him 1030 points behind Federer. As we get closer to the end of the season I'm not sure if he can catch Federer, that's if the points haven't changed.

Not yet, but yeah, I doubt that he will catch Federer in the top 3. But it is considered as a big accomplishment for Medvedev to rank 4 at the end of the season.

Andy Murray beats Cuevas in straight sets. 6-4 6-3, it is a hard fought match but eventually Murray come up on top. Cuevas give everything here, he even save 7 break points in the first set and Andy broke him in the 6 games in the second set. Now it's Murray vs Copil in the quarterfinals.

Copil is in good touch but as Murray doing we can hope some good and tough match from these two Murray is doing really hard work for some good spot and stay in touch. Medvedev is also going on positive note for this season and next could be more good for him as he is really hard fought player.

I thought so as I haven't seen any changes. Yeah it will be a big achievement for Medvedev if he finishes number 4 but if he is able to reach number 3 that would be huge heading into the new season. I think Medvedev is a huge threat to the big three next year and hopefully we finally see a young player win a Grand Slam. Murray is looking good and with every match he has he will only improve and get ready for a big 2020, just think earlier this year it looked like he might be retiring so its good to see him play and keep going.

[Yaunfitda]

If you have noticed by now, Monfils, the top seed here and last year finalist was defeated by a young player Jannik Sinner still 18 years young but he shock everyone when he upset Monfils in straight sets, 6-3, 6-2. Maybe this kid has some potential, maybe not.

He will be going against a solid player in Tiafoe so let's see if his streak does continue.

There have been no changes in the rankings and it seems Medvedev will finish in the fourth position only, as the difference between him and Federer is around 1000 points. Murray is getting his old form back, and let’s hope he will continue displaying this form in 2020 tournaments too. It seems Federer is not retiring anytime soon, as he’s confirmed he’ll be playing at Rolland Garros and 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Monfils is out of form after losing from US open so we can say its usual upset now real test of this kid as Tiafoe is in some better shape this is going to be tough match if this match is won by Sinner then hopefully peoples will notice about him as defeating two players in same tournament is not ususal its difficult for any new player.
