This thread came a little earlier than expected with Carlos's sudden retirement lol...
H2H is 1-0 to Daniil, coming through a 3rd set TB in Canada back in 2018. Who makes the final?

Who wins? FAA has hit fine form and Mad lad looks patchy.

Medvedev has no business letting this drag out. Should be ready with his best tennis.

Medvedev should win but FAA plays better when he is not the favourite.
Could go to 5 sets. At least 4 sets.

I'm not going to give a prediction yet, but I will say this.
I like both players, split down the middle.
I could live with a win from either.
What I do want is the better player to win!
No injuries, excuses etc. just pure tennis, and may the better player win.

OK. I thought it would 3 set outcome, 4 set outcome and 5 set outcome.
Now how to delete this thread?

Yes. He will raise his game for this.

He's good at generating break points, but is horrible at converting it. Kinda like his fellow August 8th tennis player.

I’m giving Aliassime a serious punchers chance. He has the firepower to get through Med and he’s well rested. I’m gonna go ahead with the upset. Med’s been too passive.

Nadal has to be kicking himself in the rear for not at least trying to give it a go with Novak's "meh" level and the rest of these guys looking ok but not great

Why? Is there another thread on this topic? confused?

In Finals specifically and sometimes in matches he is heavily favoured. Considering he'll be a heavy underdog to Med I think he might pull it out in 5, his fitness seems top line.

I am confident that Medvedev will win the match. Can Felix take a set? We'll see... but anything can happen in tennis, nothing is 100% certain.

Med's hair makes him look like a banker, or something, that was asked to sub in off the street.

I agree it could be a tough match for meddy. Going for meddy in 4 close sets though.

I see we still have 3 identical threads on here for this match.
Should be an interesting match. FAA is also playing under a little more pressure than Med. It's his first time this far in a major, he's young and full of hormones and emotion, etc. Correct me if I'm wrong, but he's never won an ATP singles title, and just one doubles. Med, 25, is calmer and more seasoned. He's won 12 titles, 4 of them Masters 1000s. Assuming he has his game together, I think he'll slam the door shut on Federal Aviation Administration.

Felix played a very mature, patient and error-free first set against Carlos yesterday. He's definitely improved his game under Toni.
Still, Daniil in four sets, though he really should get it done in three. But he lost a set to the Dane, so expect a 4-setter.

BF, you’re either obviously trolling or you’re geographically/culturally challenged: Botic van de Zandschulp in no way sounds like a Danish name; he is Dutch, meaning he is from The Netherlands, a small industrialized nation hard on the North Sea near Belgium. If you are a Dane you are from Denmark, a nation mostly made up of the extreme northern peninsula of Jutland north of Germany. The two nations are at least 400 miles apart from each other with no shared border.
I bring this up because this is the second consecutive day you have made this huge faux pas.

I give Medvedev an 80% chance of winning and Auger-Aliassime a 20% chance of winning. Felix has been serving extremely well in this tournament, but he is vulnerable in other areas of his game. Medvedev is simply in a higher level of play than anyone Felix has had to play so far. I don't think this one will go the distance, 3 or 4 sets with Medvedev winning it.

I like the Federal Aviation Administration reference. I think Felix won't crack under pressure but will play his best, whether that will be enough is probably not, but there is hope.
