[Kieran]

Looks like a beautiful place...

 

[GameSetAndMath]

with or without audience?

or restricted to small number?

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Surprising that Moscow is cancelled, but this is on?

what is the diff?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Sefanos Tsistipas had to withdraw with a minor leg injury will now prepare for tournament in Vienna.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Sam Querry tests positive for COVID19 has been withdrawn,he was Denis Shapovalov's 1st rd opponent.Denis wil now play lucky loser Viktor Troicki in rd 1.

 

[Fiero425]

Medvedev still spiraling down going out today against the big serving of Opelka! It went 3 sets and Daniil won the 1st set! Been happening a lot; a real inability to finish! WTF? Maybe we exaggerated his skill due to a couple wins over Djokovic! Poor guy smashed his racket after MP!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Q/finals,

Opelka vs Coric
Khachanov vs Raonic
Norrie vs Rublev
Wawrinka vs Shapovalov

 

[Carol]

Medvedev was not very happy after to loss to Opelka

Q/finals,

Opelka vs Coric
Khachanov vs Raonic
Norrie vs Rublev
Wawrinka vs Shapovalov

This is just the appetizer for a bang up, tightly wound finish to the end of the season! Vienna will have the best draw ever!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Medvedev has really lost it since he was beaten at the USO.

Medvedev has really lost it since he was beaten at the USO.

I thought last year’s US Open final was going to be Medvedev’s launch pad for a great year. COVID-19 has dramatically affected everyone’s year, of course, but there have been events he could (if not should) have won. I‘m disappointed. Now I‘m wondering if, in retrospect, the 2019 final will have been his greatest achievement.

He was one many were wondering about in the return to tennis. I hope the '19 USO doesn't end of being his greatest achievement. But he certainly hasn't found that run of form from that summer.

Rublev just beat Shapo in 3, I see. Coric v. Raonic up next. Go Borna!

 

[Jelenafan]

Rublev over Shapovalov 4-6, 6-3, 6-4.

“ We’re not in Queens or Roland Garros anymore, Toto.”
Andrey serves out the match in impressive fashion at 5-4 in the third. Rublev’s 2nd straight ATP 500 final made, the kid is just progressing along nicely.

 

[Fiero425]

S/finals,

(7) B.Coric vs (6) M.Raonic
(3) A.Rublev vs (2) D.Shapovalov

Raonic overpowered Coric in the 1st, but that's changed! Coric's now up 2 brks & about to serve for the 2nd against Milos avoiding a bagel!
