But with even more varieties in his game than Djoko. He could junk ball like a Murray. I even feel that he’s more a Murray than a Djoko but with a better serve but not as great ROS (compared to both Djoko and M […]

Well done and congrats to Medvedev. He’s really a fit guy, Hope with two days rest, he’ll be ok for the SF.
What a witty and smart guy he is, a few words and he had some from the crowd applauding him; I thi […]

Seems to me Medvedev could even rally better than Djoko from the baseline. Stan could over power Djoko from the baseline but he couldn’t against Medvedev.
Medvedev seems to have so many tricks up his sleeves, […]

Medvedev is now two sets to nil up against Stan. Wow, I thought he should be physically tired by now! He’s really something, will be tough for anyone facing him, including Fedal.

He did, at FO2015 on his way to his FO title. He pushed Fed hard during this year’s FO, and imo, if not for his long match in the previous round, perhaps he could’ve beaten Fed.
When it comes to slams, Sta […]

VR, I think what you mentioned only happened this year. He was ok during 2017/2018, if not he won’t go as high as world no.3. He won’t be able to beat Fed and Djoko B2B to win the WTF title if he’s so bad.
H […]

Stan, provided he doesn’t play a long match vs Medvedev, unlike at FO when he had a long match with Tsitsipas before facing off against Fed.

He’ll learn. This is the first time he reaches a slam QF, and the first time he gets all the attention from the NY crowd (in a negative way though).
As he matures and becomes more successful, I believe h […]

Wawa in four; he’s fit enough to go toe to toe with Medvedev and may outlast Medvedev physically.
I think Fed may need four sets to beat Dimi; a Stan vs Fed SF will be mouth watering judging from how they p […]

Cilic winning the USO wasn’t a fluke. Cilic could play in the zone tennis to trouble anyone, the big three all have that experience against Cilic. When his game is on, it’s just hard to play against or beat him […]

I think he will, it’s a matter of time I feel. I initially thought that he will be a multiple slam winner, something like a Becker or John MAC, given that he’ll outlast the golden era of tennis.
Now, I fee […]

Good question and only he can answer that. At Wimbledon against Fed, he was also playing from way behind the baseline and so Fed won most of the rallies, long or short ones.
Hes just having the habit of playing […]

Agree with VR’s take. Rafa said it himself in his on court interview, that after losing the second set, he changed his return positions on second serves, and that was a good strategy, not allowing Cilic to step i […]

Cilic was playing consistently well for a period hence he’s inside top ten for a few straight years. He’s derailed by injuries a few times, perhaps that explains his mental frailties. Other than his 2014, he was […]

The way Rafa is playing now, even if he beats Cilic, he’s not going to cut it against Schwartzman who will grind Rafa and his knees down!
Why is he serving so poorly his first serve and playing from miles b […]

Exactly! Don’t understand why he has to play from so far back, could have move forward after he returns but refuses to do so.
His first serve % is poor for a top two player!

Well done Berrettini! Wow, can’t believe, straight sets victory over the red hot Rublev! First QF at a slam, just like Medvedev.

Exactly Happy! The New York crowd, they’re the big bullies, and yes I forgot about the Osaka case last year.
They just want to bully those that they don’t like, I mean Serena herself at times was a big bully […]

Sanju, that’s because Wimbledon is Fed’s home just like RG is Rafa’s. Why Rafa didn’t tighten up against Fed at RG?
