US Open 2021 Top 4 Draws

R32: Nishikori
QF: Berrettini
SF: Shapovalov/Zverev


Apart from Murray all Federer fanboys have been drawn into Djokovic half.

Draw is rigged.
Proven.
 
What a cakedraw Medvedev has!
We should get a Tsitsipas-Medvedev semi, where the russian should prevail. Probably the only chance of Djokovic not winning this relies on Zverev. If he does pull it off, he'll **** up in the final and hand it over to Medvedev.

Only for the draw, though, I'd like Rublev to win the whole thing. Also wanna see Shapovalov making a run like the one he had in wimbledon.

I don't dee anything dangerous in particular for top4 seeds in week1, we should get top4 semi & atleast 6 top8 in quarters.
 
He's 0-11 against the big three, including multiple losses to Fed when he was 37 years old. He's incapable of causing a big shock to any decent player, basically a walkover for Djokovic.
Biggest blunders of Resurgent Federer

2017 :- Rushing to play Canada for No1 - jeopardized great chances for 3 slam season & Ye#1
2018 :- not finishing off del potro at Indian wells final, useless dropshots on match points - totally killed his mojo & mental edge
2018 :- not playing clay & overplaying on grass, not finishing off Anderson in Wimbledon quarters - he'd have had a great chance against an exhausted novak in the final
2019 :- the obvious 40-15
2020 :- a fool to play exhibitions across the world with sascha, not recovering from a gruelling season, not withdrawing from tournament after the 5 hour grinding slugfest with John Milman at Australia. - continuing on & on ultimately worsened the injury that he sustained before coming into the tournament & ultimately finishing him totally. I believe that if he'd withdrawn & gone to rehab early he'd be atleast back to decent form by USO series in 2020 & have a great chance there, at AO21 & Wimbledon 21 as well.
 
True, and Medvedev wasn't weak in my eyes. Just not as strong as Federer or Djokovic purely because it would've been his first slam final. I value mental greatly and I think a first-time slam finalist going up against a GOAT contender is a recipe for a win for the more experienced player.

I do agree though, this board isn't giving the new guys enough credit. Yes, they aren't of the level that the Big 4 hit in their primes, but very few players are.
Hard to give them credit when 34 year old Djokovic is on the cusp of a CYGS.
