Medvedev has ZERO incentive to do well. He CANNOT qualify for the SF even if he wins.

Expecting a tame straight set win for Zverev.

Hoping one of my new all-time favorites in Zverev can pull through here. Zero other considerations, just want to see a likeable, humble, exciting tennis player do well.
I feel the same way. He's a great guy. I also like Medvedev because he is very honest/real and had nerves of steel at the US Open. This match is more about getting Nadal eliminated for me :)

Doesn't Medvedev get paid significantly more for winning as opposed to losing?

I don't think difference is that stark. Plus Medvedev has won like 7 tournaments and TONS of cash.
The amount of money he would get here is PEANUTS compared to what he made by winning Cincy, Shanghai and runner up UsOpen.

$250k for the winner isn't it? Med will fight for it.

Med should win but shouldnt to get back at his supposed friend Nadal.
Nadal pretends to be friends with him yet Daniil keeps telling the umpire
during their matches Nads time wasting goes over the time limit.
Nads also prevents him from serving with the usual cheating hand or
racquet up even on his last serve of the match yet Ump does nothing.

Ok, I think it's $215K for a win and $116K just for showing up.

So the $ motivation to win is $99K. I could be wrong thought, not sure about this.

What are the ramifications for advancement?

If Zed wins does he advance? Ralph is also 2-1. Stefanos has already advanced.

I am pulling for Medvedev here, even though I am a Federer fan. I want Nadal in the semis. If Nadal beats Fed, then I will pull for Nadal to take the title. Nadal is a class act and he deserves one of these titles.

With that being said, I hope that Federer goes all of the way.
I see it your way. I want Roger to play Rafa in the semis. If Rafa beats Fed, I will root for Nadal against whoever he would face in the final.

Please enlighten me: why isn't Nadal garanteed a spot in the semis since he beat Tsitsipas today? I mean, if Zverev wins there will be three players with 2-1 record. And in head-to-head, Zverev has beaten Nadal, Nadal has beaten Tsitsipas and Tsitsipas has beaten Zverev... Who gets to be winner and runner-up? Confusing...

EDIT: ok I think I get it, when two are tied it's the hth record, but when three are tied it's the % of set won...
