The signs were there, not too surprised she's out. It's a shame it ended this way though. Odd, poor season. Not for lack of effort, but the whole season seems to have been planned out poorly

Damn.
The only way I like Sharapova out is smashed under Serena's racket.
I agree.

They should get paid extra for agreeing to make this pick.

Dimitrov and Tsonga are both plausible non top-8'rs to make QFs, and Lopez is a definitely an outside pick but at least one I can understand. Picking Sock to beat Wawrinka and either Simon or Kanderson back to back is crazy talk. Some desperate American commentator there. Gulbis also stands no chance, I'd be entirely unsurprised if he lost to Bedene in R1.
Evert has also been picking Federer to win almost every slam for the last five years, you think she'd have given up by now.
EDIT: lol, everyone who picked Dimtrov as a dark horse picked Federer to win, we have some desperate, desperate people here. Can we please stop with the Dimitrov-Federer comparison?
EDIT2: even better, Tandon, with a 0% track record this year, has picked Federer/Azarenka/Gulbis/Keys. Death knell for all of them. I don't understand how she gets paid to do this.

Not really. Her half of the draw is stacked and she's been wildly inconsistent lately (i.e., a lot of close calls, especially in early rounds).

I don't think you can call being undefeated "inconsistent" under ANY circumstances, no matter what happens in the individual matches.

She's had quite a lot of early round scares this year. Yes, undefeated, but it's a case of her record not exactly reflective of how tight a lot of her matches have been.
A few calls here and there and she might not have won a single slam this year.

Think Borna just has too much game for Rafa. He'll probe, dissect and extract errors from him. Big match player.
don't say to me you're in europe
Asia -_-". The first three slams are actually perfect for watching time, but not US Open.
So my bracket is fucked now...I had Maria all the way to the semi finals,now it will be Kasatkina...hehe.(didnt check the bracket yet,anyway I am in Canada so I can make my choice but can't win the contest prize)
It's finally here,good Slam everyone...
EDIT: nm,had time to redo the bracket with Sharapova's replacement,she is going down in the first round to feisty Gravilova now

Cibulkova had no points to defend from last year, so she had no pressure. Disappointing result for Ana

Really good win for Lauren Davis over Heather Watson, 7-6, 7-6. Competitive match but Davis was too solid during the important points while Watson's forehand let her down. She has a tough opponent in Ekaterina Makarova in round 2, but if she can win through, she'll have a great opportunity to go on a run since she's in the section vacated by Sharapova.

Paire and Nishikori going to a 5th set. We already have a top 10 female out, we may have a top 5 male out soon
John Dunbar
correct about everything
fifth set in nishikori-paire. even if the samurai comes through here i can't see him going that far in the tournament. djokovic really does has a walkover to the final.

Paire is going to serve for the match. Wow
He couldn't do anything on the second one, Paire sent a bomb there. Fantastic 5th set by the Frenchman, it's a shame though that you can just expect him to throw a tantrum in some middle round and clown away a match to just about anyone.

lol ATP
Yeah nothing he could do in that last game really. I forget what point it was, but there was one in particular I was thinking of in the tiebreak. Point ended with both of them at the net and Paire passed him. I think that one was winnable though I could be mixing it up. Some really weak backhands too.

2 more top 10 women are on upset alert right now. Carla Suarez and pliskova
Congrats on winning the US Open series, Pliskova.

like Kei had anything to hurt him.
Kei hurt himself during the Montreal semi-final against Murray. Because he was barely trying, the crowd booed him before they realize he was hurt. I guess he didn't have enough time to fully heal.

This is only being shown on Sky Sports in the UK, isn't it? Fuck me.
Yeah, that was what I was referring to. I was already worried he wouldn't be at top form for the US Open after Montreal. Losing that 4th set after being 6-4 up in the tiebreak is very disappointing though. This loss will hurt his ranking quite a bit too. He'll probably drop 2-3 ranks.

A french teenager named Dodin just took out Jankovic
She won the US Open series, then loses at the US Open 6-2, 6-1 to a scrub. That's disappointing. I think the US Open committee rigs the US Open Series for non-contenders to win it so they never have to pay out.
