Federer is on Djokovic's side of the draw so would have another SF match to go with their many, many previous here.

Federer said he is the best he felt in some time at Flushing Meadows, bit weird to say that when he lost in the 3R of Cincinnati so I have a feeling that is an attempt at self-deception.

Djokovic has Medvedev on his side of the draw also, after being him at Cincinnati.

Carballes Baena of Spain first up for Nole.

Federer has Nagal of India in the first round. You're fooling nobody, Rafa.

'Nadal' has Millman of Australia who is good for a bit of ball bashing and took out Fed at the US Open last year.

Can Andreescu avoid the post-Slam slump stage that virtually every woman has suffered from?

It's good to have well-rounded players like Barty and Andreescu at the top of the women's game though and not just one-dimensional robots.

McNamara That Ghost...
07-09-2019, 10:11 PM
Only Osaka has backed it up by winning another one immediately.

And now she has that post-Slam slump. :lol:

Also, Andreescu doing this to Serena. She's a mother!

Master Splinter
07-09-2019, 10:16 PM
Osaka's form has been iffy though outside of the Slam wins. She's only ever won one other title.

Master Splinter
07-09-2019, 10:24 PM
Andreescu's beaten Serena twice in a month.

Sugarpova hasn't beaten her in fifteen years.

McNamara That Ghost...

I think being so far behind the baseline has had its novelty but now making it a lot easier for Nadal to hold.

McNamara That Ghost...
08-09-2019, 09:09 PM
Brilliant from Medvedev with Nadal nearly retrieving everything.

Nadal :bow: :bow:.

19th Slam :bow:.

Medvedev :bow: :bow:.

He's the only one of the 'next-gen' that is mentally and tactically able to compete at this level so far. He's going to be a bit good.

Hard not to feel like I screwed Medvedev over. Watched the first two sets, slept for the next two sets and woke up to see Nadal serve for it at 5-4. :doh:

Otherwise. :sick:

Rusedski thinks both Nadal and Djokovic will reach 21 or 22.

I don't think he realises how much time that'll mean it would take Djokovic to do that, if Nadal does.
