Foe v Dimi should be highly entertaining!

And yet somehow, that still makes him more consistent than just about everyone ranked lower than Rublev.

If he deserves credit, why do you call him 'Foemug'. Maybe you should be more respectful? Maybe tennis players don't deserve to be belittled.
Consistent at what? He was almost ranked outside the top 30 after Wimby and then made up some points in these US events
Players "ranked below Rublev" like Tsitsipas and Ruud have both made it to major finals on two different surfaces, something Tiafoe's never done

No, Zverev will surely make the final only to be annihilated by Sinner or Medvedev.
nah he will get a lead and then zverev it away with double faults

Youzhny did this in Miami; I remember being there and watching it live. And then he won the match.Hurting yourself to get an MTO is the honest man's version of legal cheating
The Colonel bashed himself in the face with his racket repeatedly until he drew blood. A truly bizarre moment in tennis history.

Wow Pops losing to Big Foe! I thought he would carry the Novak win deeper with momentum behind him. Disappointing for him, such a great chance to progress to week 2…same thing happened for Botic after the Raz match. Is it a case of too much taken out to win such high stakes/high profile matches that there’s nothing left mentally!? I certainly expected him to handle Big Foe. @Hitman did Foe play really well or did Pops just didn’t bring it yday?

Medvedev and Sinner would be my 2 front runners if they can continue to hold form. Difficult to pick between them

Great win for Big Foe. He’s had a good run at us open before so it is no surprise.

Big Foe v Dimitrov is hard to call now. I’m leaning towards the American here. I think Zverev will beat Fritz this time too.

US needs an American in the final.

Zverev is much better than any American. He can at least make the final more competitive.For whom exactly?

Yeah but the chainz man (Grandma thinks they are weird), the I want to rant and hit out at things (but I did that and they punished me heavily, so I'd better not), the choking at any moment, the 2nd serve history (largely controlled now, but in a GS final...?).

The prospect of Fritz v Tiafoe to make a USO Final is surprisingly appealing to me. I'd love Dimitrov in the final but drama wise I feel that SF with a US crowd split on who to cheer for and 2 guys who may never make another major final is quite the prospect.
Zverev is the favourite to make the final on paper but playing 2 more US players especially in the name of Fritz and Big Foe could be a lot to handle even for someone of his experience.

When two chokers meet, one has to win. Hoping for Grigorgeous - feels like he "deserves" a chance - but Foe is playing well and is done with losing to clowns, and I fear Grigor might be in that category.
Zed and Med look good. Carrot juice is #1, but his form is unknown. I don't think Fritz has a chance if yesterday's level was representative.

This dude hasn’t even won a title with top 10 opposition. He had to win against a choking Tabillo. He ain’t winning a slam
out of those 4 De minaur may make it. he is kinda staying under the radar.

Tiafoe played significantly better than Djokovic, I don't know that there was a massive difference between Popyrin's levels. Botic was a disaster against Draper though. At one point he hit 5 double faults in a row.

Tiafoe’s a character and great win for him. He will have a good chance against dimitrov. That is a wide open match for both.

Foe won 20 games, Pop 19. It was fairly close. Foe won the right points.

Tiafoe shows up consistently at the US Open. You never know what you're going to get from Tsitsipas.

I doubt many people in the UK have heard of him, only hard core tennis fans.It is so hard for me to overcome my hatred for the British media and their unrelenting hype machine to appreciate Draper's game, but he really can play some damn good stuff.

Give it time. They tried their best after Queens, but he didn't help them out at Wimbledon.

Gamewise he seems near enough there, but I want to see his body hold up in/after a long match before saying he's ready.
