You can sit anywhere to want to on that train since there's only about 3 other people world wide who thinks he has a chance. :p

And Dimi himself isn't one of them.
As a socially akward person who needs his personal space I don't want to be stuck choking amidst 1000's of people in the Fed train where there's no room to breathe and fat farty people are also around

God I really hope it's one of the younger players, preferably Zverev, Thiem or Dimitrov. I will say this, if any of the Next Gen guys end up playing Fedal throughout the fortnight they really need to go into the match with a "you're the past, I'm the future" type mindset, similar to young Alexander in the Montreal final last week where they actually impose their games on their opponent, have belief in their abilities and stop being so sh1t scared just because it's a legend of the game on the other side of the net. Let's be brutally honest, Federer having a 3 slam season at this stage of his career would be embarrassing for the sport and don't even get me started on the possibility of Nadal winning a 3rd title.

If any pro players under the age of 30 competing at this year's US Open are reading this, here's a piece of advice, direct from me to you:

GO HARD OR GO HOME!!!!

And if we get a Fedal final, what would you want then?

I am just hoping that we don't get a player who straight sets his way to title on this occasion. After seeing it back to back in the NID RG and W tournaments, I hope we can get some epics, especially under the lights. An epic final would be nice too.

1 and 3. SF latest possible, it seems. Just as well, as far as I'm concerned. However... let us consider the resurgent David Ferrer. Would a 36-y-o and a 35-y-o in a major final be the oldest of the OE?

So fake. Your post is nothing more than a cry for help from a pathetic Djokovic fanboy. I hope Federer wins the US Open because that result would definitely burn a hole in the heart of every Djoketard.

No one should forget the little dynamo, who has a solid record in B05s with 17 finals--11 quarterfinals, 5 semifinals, and 1 final. Thirteen of the losses are to the Big-4 (mostly Djokovic), so he might be the player to take advantage of an absent Nole, iffy Murray, and who-knows Federer.

I don't understand why Djokovic2011 thinks it would be an embarrassment if fed has another 3 slam season?

It's better to be on train with fans of a guy who's won 19 slams and spent 300 weeks at #1 than Dimitrov, but whatever floats your boat. :)

All aboard!!!!!!!!!!!!

Women's Qualies doesn't look as interesting as Men's. there is Sharipova and Gibbs, but that is about it.

Men's draw is jam packed with some serious good matches..... hope the Webcam is working...... US open better turn it on tomorrow am

I love that the US Open twitter account touted Shapo as being in the QRound and to all come out and see him "for free!", and then they put him on court 5, as opposed to courts with meaningful stands (i.e. 17, 7, 10, 11, 12 or 13). Are there likely to be cameras there?

Federer winning would be 2 things, and very similar to Serena dominating the WTA Tour.

1. Very impressive on his side
2. Absolutely laughable.

Love and kisses,

Not a Djokovic fanboy

Wise decision my man. Who wants to be on that crowded stinking train, really. Maybe NN with his hot lover of the week.

May I offer the Muzziah train? Freshly grounded after 1 month of rehab with an infectious smile.
