I had thought that this one will be a barn burner but the way Charley dismantled the Big Bad Nazi-Hunter can’t help but leave me impressed. This is a young great player who’s gotten used to the big matches and how to peak for them.

Danii should do better than at Wimbledon but I think that Chaz is a little in his head, and we all know when that happens, not even Clint Eastwood could Escape from Alcaraz.

The match will go to four..

I believe Charly played within himself in his match against Zeverev and still defeated him in straight sets
Charly has the ability and the weapons to produce winners when they are needed in a match,
Meddy won in a match in straight sets in weather conditions that at times seemed 'inhuman' against Rublev
Charly to win in 4 sets.

I'm going to give Medvedev a set, too. But Medvedev was Charlie's SF at Wimbledon, too, and he stepped up to peak for the final. I'd love to see him take his game up a notch from where it has been this tournament post-Wimbledon.

Carlos seems to have shaken off his sluggishness in Cinci and Canada and he’s playing lights out, while still playing within himself. Hopefully he brings this to the final…

Most of us voted Alcaraz in 4, so we shall see.

He's playing OK, but I wouldn't say great.

Um … ESPN hasn’t switched to the tennis. They’re endlessly annoting.
