I think most people have been waiting for DM to hit the wall,he has not,he has had 2 days to recover for his s/final match.

DM in 4 sets to win,to me he has too much game overall over Grigor.

I like GD so I hope he loses today. Nadal would embarrass him in the final.

I will be getting home from work just in time as this match will be starting. It is a dreary/cool day outside so it is a perfect evening for a night of tennis with a few glasses of Wine and a Chicken Caesar Wrap.

I pick Medvedev to win in four sets, due to several reasons most of which are already mentioned by others.

1. Medvedev though appears to be dying, will recover and play well thanks to the 2-day break.
2. Grigor's previous match mostly involved a loss by his opponent rather than winning by GD due to his brilliant play.
Of course, he had to hang in there without folding and he did hold up his end regarding that part.
3. Going back to the first round, Grigor has not really faced any tough opponent, unlike DM.
4. Finally, Medvedeve will get energy from crowd, either because they suddenly support him or because they continue to oppose him.

Just turned the match on as I am home from work now. Time to relax for a nice long evening of tennis. Daniil is already up a break.

Medvedev still taped up, but not showing any signs of fatigue or injury. Having the roof closed will help him, since the air conditioning will be on, instead of playing in that high heat/humidity.

I doubt GD can hold up mentally to win this match. He needs a sports psychologist
