Sinner's qualifying for the semi finals will help me guarantee a draw against Harkorede. It is really very hard to predict what will happen in the remaining 2 Premier League questions. I'm expecting Arsenal to win by a bigger gap this week. However Manchester City aren't a team that I would ever like to take on under normal conditions. By the way I must admit that I have missed e-sports questions. Lady luck might already be on your side because Jannik Sinner had to get a walkover over Andy Murray, a fixture that I'm sure would have stressed Sinner even if he were to make it through to the QFs, but I don't think I can complain much. I'll only need to rely solely on Gael Monfils, whom of course have been doing absolutely great in this tournament, but Jannik Sinner will be obviously well rested and should be in a better shape than Monfils who had Vukic to contend with yesterday, although Monfils won in straight sets, 6-4 6-4, but an extra day of rest would surely be of advantage, I guess.

I'm watching a bit of the Japan - Sweden game, first Women's WC game I am watching, I have to say it's quite boring so far. Is it usually like this?
Yes it is I tried watching few times to watch them play but it is so boring that it makes me fall a sleep. Even super long marathon tennis matches are less boring to me. I think me and dbshck are still 1:1 in this round, maybe EPL match Chelsea vs Arsenal or boring Women’s World cup will decide the winner, we have other question almost the same.

Wtf is happening in Toronto? almost all the seeded players have been eliminated before the semi finals, and a host of them didn't get even past the first or second round, while most never made it to the quarter finals at all, the latest person to be added to that list is Daniil Medvedev, who lost to Alex De Minaur in straight sets, in a game where Medvedev had 5-2 lead in the first set only for De Minaur to come roaring back to force a tiebreak, just like he did against Fritz where he was trailing 5-1, and one set point, only to fight back and win that set as well, but it was a completely different against Medvedev today because even after forcing a tiebreak he went behind 5-1 again, but he just never gives up and outlasted the 2nd seeded player.
If anyone should make the final, looking at their resilience and fighting spirit, I think it should be this guy! Meanwhile another player that have caught my attention in Toronto too is Davidovich Fokina, he's also been such a joy to watch and have knocked out a couple of seeded players himself including Zverev and Casper Ruud.
It's really just been an extremely high level of upset matches we've had all through this tournament to say the least.

I wish I could tell you, I live here and wondering the same thing.

You beat me to it this post! It's really crazy out there in Canada! Jannik Sinner is the only player left from the top 10 seeded players that participated in this tournament, he probably could have lost too, If Andy Murray was fit enough to play the game, now this might be a very big chance Sinner as he's clearly the biggest favorite to win this ATP, but I'm expecting a very though match from Gael Monfils, hopefully yet another here, that'd be spectacular

You won the ATP Masters Toronto question (Sinner made it to semis), so 1:2 for you now. Even our answers for Women's World Cup are the same Chelsea vs Liverpool is my only chance to make it a draw. You know who I'll be rooting for in that match.

It's a tough game between me and Buwaytress. I think today's games will decide the winner. We are currently 2-2. If Australia wins in women's football and Arsenal and Brighton wins with less than 3-0, I will win this week.

I did not expect a clean 3-goal difference win from City - that puts me in the back seat once again. This duel against Woodie is really swinging from one side to the other the whole time. I should win the Women's WC question though, England is a strong favorite against Colombia.
___________________________________________
I'm surprised to see that so many of us went with Sinner, seems like not a lot of people have faith in Tsitsipas anymore. But Paul knocking out Alcaraz? Really not something I expected to see.

same here, didn't expect that easy win from City, but can't say that I am not expecting Brighton or Arsenal to win with at least three goals would be better situation without third goal, but can't say that it is impossible to see Brighton scoring four goals since I am already down, chances are it is another lose, but waiting to afternoon to see what will happen

Tsitsipas is the exact reason why I went with Sinner. I will never put Tsitsipas into my answer ever again. He has let me down too many times. But I think that I will have a draw with Buwaytress on that question since both of us went with him. As for the Man City, I had a feeling they will win easily. I don't know why. Maybe just because they are Man City Now I hope that Arsenal and Brighton can start the season with a loss or a small win. Australia is currently playing against France and those two teams are the only ones that Buwaytress and I have different. It's half time and the result is still 0-0.

Sinner finally reached the semifinals, and now the last question will define the round, Chelsea-Liverpool has been a lot of draws, I hope Chelsea does well and wins
