The poll will be created after the draw ceremony, which will take place on Thursday at 12 noon EDT.

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

I thought the draw was coming out on Friday? Is it Thursday?

How do they decide the draw? Committee? I have never fully understood it. I just hope they don't manipulate the draw to help any one player this year.

Incredible scenes!

 

[Poisoned Slice]

PPV to watch over here. Absolutely disgusting.

 

[Terenigma]

Going to get my prediction out the way on first page pre-draw and say that Djokovic will win the title. I think Medvedev and Zverev will both make the semi final (But hopefully not on the same side of the draw) and i don't think Tsitsipas will join them, i feel like he will go out in 4R or QF. The other semi finalist is tough to pick but i'm gonna stick with my dark horse pick of Rublev.

 

[One]

Since when does Armstrong has the rood, if it does?

 

[fundrazer]

Sticking with Zverev for now. BO5 is going to be a step up, but I think he's been managing himself better in early round of slams lately.

 

[Nostradamus]

Gulbis trying to qualify for the Open on court 9. OMG,, he still has that flying eagle forehand...........................LOL

 

[stringertom]

Since when does Armstrong has the rood, if it does?

The old Armstrong was torn down during the mid-teens renovations to NTC. New Armstrong was ready for play at USO’18 with increased capacity (14K) and a retractable roof. It is also a more comfortable court for players and spectators with improved ventilation due to some high tech design characteristics:

 

[stringertom]

Dr. Ivo made a house call and successfully advanced to 2R qualies, beating Milojevic 4&6(1). Looking strong on his farewell tour; will qualify and cause a UUUGGGEEE upset.

 

[Nostradamus]

TW's very own Jason Jung in action in qualies, kicking butt in 1st round

[stringertom]

Other notable wins today for The Kokk and Gulbis, rewarding a couple more guys with big serves. Copil and Cressy can also crank it up in the 130s and they won too. Maybe Laykold finally gave Flushing the speed it deserves.

 

[atatu]

Does The Mullet have a chance against Kamil Majchrzak in the qualies ? Nice win by Eliot Spizzirri from UT.

 

[mehdimike]

Would they show the draw ceremony live?!

 

[I Am Finnish]

Carreno Busta book it

 

[stringertom]

Carreno Busta book it

Book what? Losing 3R after wearing himself out in steamy NC?

Medvedev actually has a remarkable easy path. Ruud/Schwartzman are the QF, Dimitrov/Evans 4R, Cilic 3R. Not too shabby.

And now we know the path. Seems fine.

 

[NAS]

I think on fast us open surface, Aslan will be tough to handle

 

[Kralingen]

Basically the toughest draw for Djokovic - Hurkacz, Zverev, then Medvedev possibly. Going to have to earn it.

love the draw for excitement purposes.

 

[NAS]

I think Macdonald can play against Novak in third round, he was Looking good in washington tournament

 

[Kralingen]

Medvedev actually has a remarkable easy path. Ruud/Schwartzman are the QF, Dimitrov/Evans 4R, Cilic 3R. Not too shabby.

He has a cakewalk compared to Zverev and Djokovic tbh.

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

If I am understanding correctly 3 players that Djokovic has lost to earlier this year are in his side of the draw? Karatzev, Carreno Busta and Zverev. Other solid players in his side of the draw are Berrettini, Shapovalov, Khachanov, Sinner, Bublik, Hurkacz, McDonald, Kudla, Brooksby.... I am very happy with this draw! (I may have made a mistake: is Pablo in Medvedev's side of the draw? Drats! I was hoping he would be in Djokovic's side of the draw again this year.)

Medvedev has Tsitsipas, Rublev, Auger-Aliassime, Schwartzman, Ruud, and my boy Alcaraz Garfia - have I understood the draw correctly?

My bold prediction remains: Djokovic will NOT be in the final of the USO; and Medvedev will win his first Grand Slam at this year's USO.

Zverev

Querrey

Love the Zverev Sinner 4R potential matchup. That could be a blockbuster.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Yeah, bankrupt.

 

[Kralingen]

Of course no PCB

It would be the SF matchup (and PCB is a 2x USO semi finalist)

Unless you don’t believe in Pablo?

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

Zverev

Querrey
Vinolas/Pouille
Bublik/Nishioka
Sinner/Monfils
PCB/Shapo
Djokovic
Medvedev/Tsitsipas

This means PCB is in Djokovic's side of the draw? Now I am REALLY happy!!!! So many good players in this side of the draw - I think this has more quality players in it than the other half of the draw...

 

[ark_28]

Pleased with this draw for Novak! Just need to go match by match and I have every confidence he will win the trophy

 

[Tennis_Freak99]

Love the Zverev Sinner 4R potential matchup. That could be a blockbuster.

@Nuclear Warhead

With the form Zverev's in, I think he'll crush Sinner

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

Pleased with this draw for Novak! Just need to go match by match and I have every confidence he will win the trophy

Ironically I am pleased because I see lots of players in his side of the draw who can trip him up! I am predicting he doesn't make it to the final!!!!

 

[Kralingen]

Lol Fritz-De Minaur 1R. If Fritz is in some kind of form he could be the Djokovic 4R opponent for an AO redux grudge match.

Zedzilla's gonna shít on Sinner.
