You're right about Djokovic and Federer absent in this grand slam but I'm sorry to disappoint you about Nadal not reaching the final stage because I don't see M. Berrettini having the possible experience to beat Nadal.

Did you guys tail the pick Medvedev reaches the semis? Hope you made money!
Could even get to the final.

Man I am having the feeling to see him to lift the trophy. This is the best chance for him. The only BIG gun for him is Nadal at the moment. This tournament is not favoring the top ranks anymore.

Nadal is also playing exceptionally well in this tournament and doesn't have that five set extended game. So far he has rested his body very well here and Medvedev is fighting very hard to stay in the contention.

Federer is out, but Nadal is still in contention but definitely the game was blown open with the ouster of Roger. But I wouldn't sleep on Nadal here, for me he is still the favorite to bag this crown.

I really want Dimitrov or Medvedev to win US open this year.It's gets really boring when Nadal,Federer and Jokovic win everything.I can't predict what will happen,because I'm not an expert in tennis,but I would bet on Medvedev.Tall tennis players are the future of tennis(unfortunately).

Tomorrow's semi final will give a conclusion on which player to reach the finals. From the previous games played I believe it's the chance for Dimitrov than Medvedev. As in the above quote the height of the player matters big in tennis, still this can't be the deciding factor to win the game.

I'm also rooting for him, I'm not really familiar with him but when he played and beat Wawrinka, I was like,, this player is legit and could be a champ this US open. Wawrinka beat Novak Djokovic which was suppose to be my bet to win this competition, I understand because the guy is playing with some injury so because Wawrinka beat my guy and Medvedev  beat Wawrinka, I'm with him all the way.

In womens US open, I'll support Williams to win, obviously since Osaka is out.

Medvedev have been delivering good performance lately and luck has totally favored him this time. Though we could not underestimate the players like Dimitrov or Nadal, there are no big names in the semi finals this year. Nadal has always struggled in the grass court. Not only we be seeing a new US Open champion, Medvedev could be the next tennis champion and replace the likes of Djokovich and Federer.

Federer has an easy draw though. Nadal's draw is a bit trickier.
And Djokovic's has a mine field in front of him: Querrey, Wawrinka, Medvedev.


Another pick is Daniil Medvedev reaches the final @ 7.0.


Constructive opinions always welcome!!

Yes, Medvedev and Nadal are the only players who make it to the final stage of this year US open.
I think user DeathAngel is somehow good in tennis prediction because he actually said the two players will play the final of this year tournament and I was somehow against it because I thought G. Dimitrov will be a tough opponent for Medvedev.

It's not luck that favored medvedev but he has a great control over the ball. I love how he return the ball against Dimitrov and he win it in a beautiful passion. I think he can be this year's US open champion.

Yes, we need some breath of fresh air to see a new champion in their years US Open. The women side has done it, with Bianca Andreescu winning over Serena Williams. So its time for Medvedev to really show his class against Nadal and inject his name in the discussion as the one who will going to replace those ageing tennis greats.

Yes, the women's game is very interesting. Unexpected changes took place with the young blood just 19 years old has taken the trophy on the first time participation itself. Serena gave her full effort to win the match, but what Bianca played is unbeatable. The second match too seems to be a fight back, yet Nadal has got the higher winning chance.

It is no longer any surprise that Serena lost.
She has lost the last 4 big finals in the grand slams and obviously she can no longer psychologically withstand the great pressure that goes with such matches.
Nadal is different and also have more experience than Medvedev.
Medvedev will be under a lot of pressure, like never before in his life.
Not sure if he will be able to overcome it and play good well.

I'd like to differ. Nadal would be an easy opponent for Medvedev. The whole tournament has been in his favor as he didn't needed to face with the players that could really give him a challenge. It's really surprising to see Medvedev getting such a large odds. I'd blindly bet on Medvedev this time.

As a Nadal fan I’m hoping he wins this as I don’t think he’ll continue playing for long now, he’s had lots of injuries in the past and it’s only a matter of time before he calls it quits. While many are favouring Medvedev to win I feel Nadal has an advantage because he’s more experienced than Medvedev, and that’ll prove to be the key difference in this match. Serena Williams loosing is not a surprise loss, at her age I don’t think anyone was expecting her to win.

You're right about the need of fresh air to see a new champ but there's different between what will happen and what people need. Besides, I said it the other day that it too early to decide if Medvedev will be the one to lift this year trophy which is what we see when Nadal beat him with 7,6,5,4,6.

Oh well, the same guys win again & again. I was hoping to see Daniil Medvedev claim this title but sadly it wasn’t to be.

At least we have seen someone stepping up and trying to challenge. The big 3 has been so dominant in the Grand Slams that I'm also hoping to see fresh faces winning but as you have said, it wasn't meant for Medvedev this year. But I'm sure in future Grand Slams he will try to break Nadal, Federer and Djokovic's dominance or see young and fresh talent to win.

It wasn't his time yet. But man, Nadal put up some terrific tennis out there. It was his fourth US open trophy and his 19th grandslam champion. Medvedev has a bright future ahead in his teannis career and that time around is not yet his time.

I was in holiday for a week. No tele, no internet, in a remote place. So, it was obvious that I missed the semi and the final. However I was predicting a final between Nadal and Medvedev. Good to see that it was them in the final however I was also predicting Medvedev to win the trophy. But looking at the scoreboard I see it was a great fight and Medvedev was very close to have it even though he lost first two sets.

Missed a great battle. Good thing that I was out of touch or I would lose some money (gambling for Medvedev) LOL

Congratulations to Nadal and thamks to OP (Bossian) to create this topic. If it was not you then I may discover Medvedev after the final.
