2024 US Open QF: [1] Jannik Sinner vs [5] Daniil Medvedev

[Aussie Darcy]

Juicy match that is very much deserving of a thread.

Current Aus Open champ vs the 2021 USO champ.

The pair have a funny rivalry, they've played 12 times in their career with Medvedev leading 7-5.

This year, the pair played the famous Aus Open Final with Med leading 2 sets to love before Sinner stormed back to win in 5. Sinner smoked Med in the Miami SF. Med got him back at Wimbledon in the QF winning in 5.

So who prevails in the QF?

 

[SneederFeeder]

Sinner-Med is the best current ongoing rivalry, people who refuse to see the light because they underrate Med are missing out.

 

[jayvee]

Med in 3.

Really feels like this match will go down as the moral final!

No disrespect to Draper or De Minaur but whoever wins this one should get through them easily. Then the actual final against either Fritz, Zverev, Dimitrov or Tiafoe.

Zverev could maybe make an interesting final but I think this is going to the match we remember.

 

[MichaelNadal]

We need Medvedev to save tennis.

 

[Midaso240]

I'll give it to Sinner in 5, maybe has the slight edge in this matchup now. Very close though, a few points here and there could swing it the other way

 

[FeroBango]

I truly do not know. It should be Sinner on paper though. Then again that was the case at Wimbledon too.

Going with Sinner in 5 though I'd love Med to go all the way here.

 

[Pheasant]

Sinner has the firepower to hit through Wallvedev on this moderately fast hard court surface. And he has the mentality to win clutch points. But this should be an entertaining chess match.

I am talking Sinner 6-4, 3-6, 7-6, 7-5.

 

[aman92]

Time for Med to save tennis again after 2021

 

[junior74]

The real final

 

[weelie]

The past couple of days have been full of lopsided matches, hoping this will be a real battle. I would not mind seeing Med take it in 5, though I think it is Sinner in 4.

 

[FeroBango]

The real final

USO 2022 but worse.

 

[FeroBango]

Sinner-Med is the best current ongoing rivalry, people who refuse to see the light because they underrate Med are missing out.

Med in general is criminally underrated. He'll have a greater legacy in years to come like the likes of Roddick have these days.

 

[Enceladus]

With Djoker and Carlito out from tournament, this is a premature final. Considering their confrontations this year and their matchup, a balanced and difficult match can be expected. I don't even know which of the two to favorized. It's really an open matter.

 

[NeutralFan]

Sinner hit his form in last set , i see an absolute bloodbath, Meddy will give up after first two sets, Sinner in straight or 4.

The Jannik momentum is crazy. He's impeccable this year when tested.

Jannik in 5 at worst.

 

[Jonas78]

He is not underrated, he just loses in the end. Its been going on ever sinse that Nadal loss.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

This is huge and really is the real final. Apart from potentially Zverev no other player is beating these guys.

They both in form and look on a mission. I’m going to lean to sinner in 5 sets but it would not surprise me if meddy won as he loves this court. What a treat we have in store.

These guys? You're acting as if Meddy is on the same level as Sinner

I predicted sinner in 5. I don’t think Meddy will make it easy for him though

Yeah, Meddy is a baseline bot and a wall when he's on. I still believe he will be blown away by Sinner.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

I truly do not know. It should be Sinner on paper though. Then again that was the case at Wimbledon too.

Going with Sinner in 5 though I'd love Med to go all the way here.

If Sinner wins this he’s a massive favourite to win the whole thing. This is his biggest roadblock left

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

I am tempted to go sinner in 4 though and might change prediction. We will see

 

[FeroBango]

He already is the massive favourite. This was the case the minute he shook the post-doping-scandal nerves off during match 1.

Med should want to die on the court to win.

Pray to GOd, son!! Medvedev is going to get annihilated in qf.

 

[The Devil probably]

Sinner in 4 or 5.

 

[Hitman]

This is the biggest match of this USO, and I seriously can't wait to see this one unfold.

 

[Arak]

Sinner has won 5 of their last 6 encounters, so logically Sinner. But I voted Medvedev in 5. Just a hunch.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Oh my God I remember the Miami semis. Sinner walloped meddy

I am going with sinner in 4. The hard court guard is changing and sorry meddy it's probably going directly from nole to jannik sinner , even though you are hard court specialist.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Meddy looked helpless that day. Like a baby.
Net approaches , returning from baseline the guy really tried it all to be more explosive. But did not work.

Then went back to playing deep grinding tennis. It is great that AA is the largest stadium and octopus would love to play deep. His superior backhand vs sinner backhand would be great advantage but otherwise jannik is too good.

Zverev could maybe make an interesting final but I think this is going to the match we remember.

De Minaur isn't a good matchup for Medvedev (3-2 for ADM since 2022). Draper is in the best form of his life. He's lost 26 games in 4 matches/12 sets. I hope you're wrong and the winner of this match will have a chance.

 

[nolefam_2024]

 

[ghostofMecir]

Sinner is coming back to early season Sinner and there’s no where to go against him in rallies. Med can return his serve, though, and extend rallies, so he has a chance if he himself served well.

It’s likely Sinner in 4.

 

[Aabye5]

We need Medvedev to save tennis.

Why does it always seem to fall to Medvedev?

 

[Aabye5]

'Sonic' Jannik up against his old nemesis -- Dr. Eggman

 

[jayvee]

Why does it always seem to fall to Medvedev?

It's usually Carlitos, but he lost his job in Paris.

 

[sortof]

The juicy carrot does it in 4.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Pray to GOd, son!! Medvedev is going to get annihilated in qf.

Nobody's gonna annihilate the other one in this matchup, stop being delusional. All their matches have been tight AF with razen thin margins.
Also, Start respecting players.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Sinner should win. At this point he’s the better player of the two. However, I expect Meddy to fight hard and he loves this court. Sinner in 5

 

[Vincent-C]

The juicy carrot does it in 4.

nice

 

[mike danny]

I have a feeling Med will win. A shame I won’t be able to watch it due to timezone differences

Who you rooting for?

Who you rooting for?

Neutral. Either result will generate a funny narrative

 

[rigged]

Crazy that if Sinner wins the whole thing, the distance between him and no. 2 will be more than 4000 points.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Neutral. Either result will generate a funny narrative

Agreed. I probably prefer Meddy slightly but I like sinner too. I think sinner winning causes a bigger meltdown on here so could be a funnier result! lol

 

[Aabye5]

It's usually Carlitos, but he lost his job in Paris.

Carlitos hasn't actually saved tennis.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

This is perfectly set up. Both guys on 1 slam. Both guys know the winner here is a massive favourite to win it all. They have a close H2H and tend to have close matches. I think it is Sinner’s time but I see a close match. We will see which player can play the bigger points better.

 

[optic yellow]

Crowd gonna hard favor Daniil.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Well I’m glad I switched my early prediction to Sinner. I’m sticking by it. I think he wins here but Meddy bear shouldn’t be underestimated on this court.
