sourab10forever Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Discussion thread ... No Djoko and No Andy. Nadal rises to #1 before the last Slam of the year. The big question shall remain can Federer make it to 20? Official Site : http://www.usopen.org/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flat_wicket_bully Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Fed having back issues has opened up US Open immensely. For me Zverev is now favorite to win this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumar713 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 If Federer is fit he is winning this. Nadal has a decent chance here. Zverev the dark horse. Hoping for a good performance from Kei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cricketics Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I will be there during the best time at the open which is the first week when all players are there and more matches are happening. Very disappointing to see Yuki Bhambri bow out in the first round of qualiies. He did not play a single game after his great run at ATP Washington D.C and that cost him. Lack of match practice going into US Open was bad and he was granted a tough first draw game against Go Soeda which he lost in 3rd set. He should have clearly won this game, just lost due to rustiness and lack of match practice. i know he must have sat out because of some injury concern or something, but its just disappointing that he won't be there in the main draw after playing exceptionally well in Washington D.C Anyways, hoping Ramkumar has a great run. He upset Thiem few weeks ago and then had a good run in Cincinnati last week. He is a guy who is fit and knows how to improve as he is just 22 years old and has played more tennis then any other professional player this year. Yes, he has been constantly touring every week to different destinations, a record, and he is constantly improving his ranking. I am happy for Ramkumar and hoping he will make it to the main draw here at US Open this time around. Regarding the championship, great to see Dimitrov doing well at Cincinnati and winning his first ATP 100. Since he is back in form, I feel Dimitrov, Zverev and Kyrgios have a great chance. Roger will do well, but if he runs into any of these guys, he might have a tough time beating them. kumar713 and sourab10forever 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kumar713 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 With Murray, Novak, Stan,, Kei, Milos all out of US open, this is best chance for some guys like Dimitrov, Cilic to go further. Federer has a tough draw, if he is rusty i dont see him getting past Kyrgios. Cmon cilic Cricketics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollum Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Want a Kyrgios Zverev final this time. I don't think Federer is in a position to win purely based on his bad back and unconvincing run in Montreal. Hope Nadull gets nowhere near the trophy.

Muloghonto Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 We will see how Fed's back is doing versus tiafoe. From what i've seen of his practice clips from USO buildup, he looks fine. Back injury or not, i wasn't expecting him to play 4 of 5 weeks leading up to USO final anyways. Anyhow, has anyone seen an easier draw than the one Cilic/Zverev have ? i never bet on tennis but am real tempted to bet on Zverev reaching the final.

flat_wicket_bully Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 That was a scrappy 5 setter by Fed. Into 2nd round though but did not look 100% in this match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I6MTW Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Willl fed go deep? Based on his first round performance, it raises doubts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we will know abt this today vs Youzhny. Fed said he was rusty due to lack of practice. If his back holds up only Nadal can stop him (even then chances of Fed are much higher than him) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flat_wicket_bully Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Zverev is a big no no in slams. Unless he starts improving his performances in slams, I will not consider him contender in any of the slams in future. Shapovalov into third round. If he can keep his form, he has a great chance of reaching the finals from his half. Only Cilic seems to be a contender from that half (even he is playing his first tournament since Wimbledon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I6MTW Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Again Fed forced to a 5 set match. This wont hold up against higher ranked players. Fed must find his form soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumar713 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Cilic out too. This is getting weird. Shapovalov is playing well but fatigue will get to him since he is playing from qualifiers. One half of draw is a total mess. Cilic & Zverev missed a glorious chance to go really deep. The player i feel has a chance either gets injured or gets knocked out So not making any statements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I6MTW Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Its becoming more and more likely that the us open for the third time in last 12 years will be the only slam to have winners from outside the big 4. Nadal has become average on hard courts(having not won a title since 2014 on them) and Federer has injury issues and struggle for form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollum Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Why is every second court playing like clay these days? To hell with USTA, doing their best to help Nadal. kumar713 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surajmal Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Shapovalov is my new favourite player. A lefty with a relentless motor and a one handed backhand. Seems like Rafa and Fed participated in a science experiment. kumar713 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cricketics Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Guys epic game going on between Anderson and Querrey. If you are not watching it, you are missing an epic. 2 sets into it and both epic tie breaks. Both giving it all. Crazy second set tie break going on. kumar713 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
