In the absence of a Grass Masters, Queen's has always been the premier warm-up event for Wimbledon (look at its draws) so it was never just any old 250.
Federer, Nadal or Djokovic will win the 2019 US Open

I have no clue what the "prediction league" is but I'm in coz I know Rafa won't beat RF. In fact, Rafa won't beat RF ever again on hard court. (Not counting the senior tour in 2049.)
So the bet counts only for their semis duel. If neither or just one reaches semis, then the bet is moot. I.e. the bet isn't who'll go further but only who'll win in a potential semis.
Or finale. But that's completely unlikely. We're not in 2010/2011 anymore...
Or no, wait. We are in 2010/11. Still the big 3...

I know!
I understood it was addicting already at 17. I played away all my money for the trip on a holiday, a casino. So I knew I had to be careful after that.
I’m only making bets sometimes for a match. For USO maybe only one bet all together.

Still dunno what you should do if... I mean when I win the bet...
I don't know your player affinities (aside from Mr. Graf), so it's not easy to come up with a "punishment" for you...

I can do the prediction league too then. It’s quite much work specially around the slams.
But it’s a mild punishment really and it can be fun.
It’s in the match results section of the forum. People predict matches, every match. Slams, 1000 and some 500s I think.

I’m currently leading the other league in here though for Cincy, which is more like betting.
I have done well sometimes in those leagues before.
Problems w those leagues is that it makes me want to place real bets

Normally I'm against betting for money, but today's men's tennis is 100 times more predictable than in the 90s for example when you could basically only lose money betting on tennis. It was chaos back then, almost like the modern WTA tour.I’m currently leading the other league in here though for Cincy, which is more like betting.

It depends which matches. Rare I bother to bet on big 3 matches. But have to follow the tour closely to be able to do that and lately I’ve been busy.

Federer and Nadal will be on the same side. I am 99% sure.
I know statistically the chances are 50%, but I bet UsOpen wants Fedal faceoff.
And then one of them will lose before making the SF date.

I have to agree with you here.
And I think they also want Djokovic against one of Federer or Nadal in the final there. The Wimbledon final rematch just sells itself, and Nadal v Djokovic played the AO final.

Federer-Nadal in the same half is a lock. We all know draws can be rigged, and time is running out for a Federer-Nadal U.S Open meeting. They will want to increase the chances of it, especialy as neither is beating Djokovic at the Open I am pretty sure.
I agree one or both will lose before the semis anyway and it wont happen yet again though.

This is probably accurate also, though I think Nadal is little closer to Federer, I do think that is the correct pecking order as it stands right now.

Wrong strategical play..
Getting involved into ballbashing grindfest with big hitters, one after another. Ultimately drained all of his stamina

Unfortunately Federer is not the favorite, especially if the bounce is as high as it was recently at the USO.He has only played one final at the USO this decade.

Being 2nd favourite is a pretty nifty starting point though, or?

Nadal has a better shot at the U.S Open than Federer IMO. Federer might win if they play (although not even sure there), but Nadal has a much better U.S Open record since 2010 now than Federer. Federer has not been in a U.S Open final since 2009 now, how on earth could he be 2nd favorite. Especialy now with the courts slowed down.
And FWIW the oddsmakers all pretty consistently have Nadal at lower odds than Federer, although they are closer than I would have it:

You are right, forgot 2015. Still I definitely give Nadal better odds than Federer for the Open.

I love the fact that USO officials - who rig draws more than any other big event - have never had the pleasure of hosting a Rafa-RF clash.
AO - 4 times
FO - 29 times?
W - 4 times
USO - big fat zero (yet so close so often: 08, 09, 10, 11, 17, and at least once more)
These corrupt ratings-obsessed crooks would do anything to set that duel up. They'd even seed one of them as 7 or 8 to place them in the same QF draw. Unfortunately for them, that kind of draw rigging is illegal.
Tee hee.

In latest betting Zverev is 15-1 and Thiem 20-1. I would have thought Thiem was a better outside bet than Z. Am I wrong?

When has that ever mattered? You're talking about the modern ATP.
Also, even they couldn't have accounted for all of Tankerer's near escapes from New York City beatdowns at the hands of his Once and Forever Master. It takes a true escape artist to not only evade Nadal, but the system itself.

The Zverev odds are ridiculous. Only a fool would bet him.
Yes Thiem in reality has a better shot than Zverev right now.

Well, I meant illegal as in OBVIOUS, the kind of rigging that can't be hidden. Nobody would tolerate Rafa or RF being lowered seed-wise from 2 or 3 to 7 or 8. It can't happen, even at the most corrupt tournament.

Uh, no. Nadal is 58-11 at the USO. Djokovic is 69-10. Nadal has won 3 times and was runner-up once. Djokovic has won 3 times and was runner-up 5 times. Your small, cherry-picked 3-game sample size doesn't overcome looking at the whole picture.

I am a huge fan of Federer, but you're trolling now lol. Federer might win in four against Nadal but not in three
Has never done so.I would love to bet against this if the odds are 0.1% that another player will win. Please tell me where I can put up $1 to win $1,000 if none of Federer, Djokovic, or Nadal win the US Open, I go and put $5,000 immediately against that to win $5 million.

I agree that the events don't matter much in themselves, but the year-end #1 ranking does matter, and Nadal would have a good shot at it if he won the US Open and some chance if he were runner-up at the US Open. It'd be a shame not to compete for the year-end #1 ranking, wouldn't it? Not playing after the US Open would really reduce his chances. He could still manage it if Djokovic imploded, but it isn't likely.

4. ND fears Querrey.
Conclusion: It's Querrey's to lose.
