Are we going to have all US Women SFs?

[perfectchaos007]

Muguruza will be the new #1 on Monday

Commentators said it was in '81.

 

[perfectchaos007]

I kinda want Venus to win because it would be great to see a 37 year old champion, but at the same time I would really like to see a new American slam champion so Keys, Stephens, or Coco would be preferred.
Did you know the US hasn't had a new womens grand slam champion since Capriati in 2001?

If Kanepi, the qualifier, wins it then I can't be mad at that. Probably been a while since a qualifier won a slam

In order:

Sloane
Kaia
Madison
Coco
Venus

Actually, Sloane and Kaia are tied in my mind, but I have a *really* hard time seeing Kaia winning it all...

He is already prepared to complain in his post match interview about the noise.

Venus

 

[Diprosalic]

Rublev will annihilate Rafa

 

[John Dunbar]

Rublev will annihilate Rafa

sooner you accept nadal as the champ the less it will hurt.

actually, no it won't. it will just hurt sooner.

go rublev.

 

[Machine Messiah]

Rublev will annihilate Rafa

Basically this. I don't even know why it's a debate.

Also, this guy Rublev totally looks like Theon Greyjoy

 

[Diprosalic]

This was a fun match. See you for Federer

 

[perfectchaos007]

Back on serve. Calm down everyone and strap in

 

[John Dunbar]

Back on serve. Calm down everyone and strap in

this has 6-3, 6-2, 6-2 written all over it

 

[Diprosalic]

this has 6-3, 6-2, 6-2 written all over it

I think Nadal might win a set.

 

[Omzz]

Rublev wtf was that

 

[Diprosalic]

This is over.

 

[perfectchaos007]

I hope Nadal wins the US Open. Roger won 2 slams this year, Nadal should get 2 slams this year. Its only fair, in this resurgent era.

 

[Diprosalic]

I hope Nadal wins the US Open. Roger won 2 slams this year, Nadal should get 2 slams this year. Its only fair, in this resurgent era.

No.

 

[Omzz]

That "drop shot" was horrible

Rublev is finished

 

[jett]

I understanding wanting to root for the underdog, but at least root for someone that has a remote chance of winning.

 

[Diprosalic]

We can only hope that Nadal will be in shock when he plays a guy who can actually play tennis.

 

[John Dunbar]

only hope is that the sudden jump in the quality of opposition in the semis catches nadal off guard. he has not played anyone who should have made it past the second round.

F*ckin Murray

 

[Diprosalic]

If Rublev and Shapovalov are the future of tennis then that will be a big step down in terms of handsomeness.

At least Zverev is dreamy.

 

[d+pad]

I hope Nadal wins the US Open. Roger won 2 slams this year, Nadal should get 2 slams this year. Its only fair, in this resurgent era.

Sounds good to me!

 

[d+pad]

If this is true, why did so many root for Del Po to beat Thiem in the last round??

 

[bionic77]

I hope Nadal wins the US Open. Roger won 2 slams this year, Nadal should get 2 slams this year. Its only fair, in this resurgent era.

This is objectively wrong.

This is the last stand of the Fed.

The correct answer is for him to destroy Nadal again in the semi's and get his 20th and last slam before fading away in the next 2 years.

 

[Diprosalic]

Rublev is garbage.

 

[jett]

If this is true, why did so many root for Del Po to beat Thiem in the last round??

I dunno why anyone would root for Del Potro in 2017. Or 2016. Or 2015. Or 2014...

 

[LegendofDragoonLives]

Wrong. I'll take Fed owning Nadal's soul one last time.

 

[hyp3rlink]

Wrong. I'll take Fed owning Nadal's soul one last time.

It has always been the other way around and so it will be again.

 

[Diprosalic]

Let me the first to say that Rublev should retire from professional tennis.

 

[oti]

This is objectively wrong.

This is the last stand of the Fed.

No.

Roger will win these US Open.
After that, ALL GRAND SLAMS and Gold at the Tokyo Olympics.

Then he's allowed to retire and Tennis can rot in hell.


Man, this tournament is such a joke.

 

[mercenar1e]

how Rublev made it this far is... such a bad sign for tennis lol

 

[Diprosalic]

how Rublev made it this far is... such a bad sign for tennis lol

Yeah. These kids are nowhere near as a good as Nadal/Murray/Djoko at their age

 

[RedAssedApe]

i can't remember did murray drop out at the last minute and his opponent got a walk-over? do they not redo the seedings if someone drops out?

Stephens > Venus, Keys, Kanepi >>>>>>>>>> Vandeweghe

 

[mercenar1e]

imagine having to pay hundreds of dollars to watch this lol

 

[Omzz]

This is the guy who was gonna annihilate nadal, dipro?

 

[Slaythe]

This might very well be the worst match I have ever seen for male players.

 

[Diprosalic]

This is the guy who was gonna annihilate nadal, dipro?

Lol.

This guy doesn't even belong in the main draw of a challenger tournament.

 

[mercenar1e]

This might very well be the worst match I have ever seen for male players.

Rublev should just save face and retire in the 3rd set. Hes embarrassing himself.

 

[Omzz]

What a pathetic quarterfinal, why am I still watching

I'll be back for the night match

 

[Boogs31]

how Rublev made it this far is... such a bad sign for tennis lol

Half of the top 10 players are hurt. He only got this far because of that. Any sport, if 5 of the biggest 8 stars were injured, would look in bad shape.
