Very excited for this matchup , 2 days of rest for each player , Hopefully Daniil is healthy

Daniil in 4. I'm ok with either player winning tbh. I'm just excited we're getting a new slam finalist.

Mad Lad is WAAAAAY more talented and versatile.
100% Mad lad >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Grigor.

Crazy to think Dimitrov hasn't reached at least a final. He can make up for it now

Medvedev went to some college, so I am cheering for him. Wouldn't it be great if we had a new person win a grand slam?

 

[DSH]

If Medvedev is fine, this is the end for the Bulgarian!
Bullsheet Russian in 4 sets!

Press conference for Daniil

Actually watching that press conference makes me quite like him. He seems very smart, clearly had a lot of potential. Hopefully he has learned something from the controversy; it seems like he has anyway.

I wouldn't mind him winning the tournament actually. Don't think he will, but who knows.

Expecting a fight

 

[yokied]

Hard to believe we're really here...

 

[Mike Sams]

Dimitrov vs Nadal from AO2017 was epic!

 

[Mike Sams]

I noticed the crowd didn't boo Med as loudly as was expected. Maybe they're appreciating his grit and willingness to fight more and more?

 

[Red Rick]

Feel like this entire match depends on how Med attacks Dimi's slice.

 

[youngpolyhater]

Tough matchup for Medvedev on paper but he's just in better form right and barring any injury he should get this one in 3 or max 4 sets if Dimitrov peaks in one set.

Press conference for Daniil

What did someone shout in the background at about 12:30 mark?
and which 2 players is he talking about having beaten this season, one is edmund, who is the other one?

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Daniil's freakin' mad. Mad like a bullsheet Russian. Dancing like Anna Semenovich, now.

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

I am not sure how to answer the poll? I think Medvedev will win in a grueling 5 set match.

 

[stringertom]

Age of Grigorius in 4, possibly in 3 if Mad Lad wheel is bad.

Never expected the Lost Gen underachiever to break out of his very long slump here but he’s doing it with substance, something he’s obviously picked up from Andre.

 

[3fees]

Medleydev in 3 or 4, Baby Fed chance is if Medleydev is injured.

Cheers

[TheGhostOfAgassi]

5 tough sets is all that I am asking for.

 

[Rosstour]

Wow , You don't think Dimitrov has the game to trouble him?

Technically, yes, but Med has that slap backhand that requires almost no time, and takes a lot of time from the other player. He killed Stan by following the short, flat DTL BH with a deep crosscourt BH. Plus his length can be a major issue. He has a very offbeat game that makes it tough to establish a rhythm, plus a monster serve and FH that most players like him don't have.

I noticed the crowd didn't boo Med as loudly as was expected. Maybe they're appreciating his grit and willingness to fight more and more?

Bingo

 

[CosmosMpower]

Dimi will get crushed, he barely beat old man Fed

 

[RF6777]

Medvedev in 3 or 4...
Then wins final against nadal in 3 sets

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

I know I will be happy for either one of them!

Federer isn’t an easy player to defeat

 

[EllieK]

Federer isn’t an easy player to defeat

But he was playing at maybe 60 or 70% and it went to 5. I love Grigor. He is a genuinely nice guy and I am happy to see him get this far in a tournament. I also like Medvedev. He is honest and eloquent and seems to have his priorities straight. He admits to his failings without copping out at least. That is refreshing.

 

[Mark-Touch]

A no-brainer win for Mad-Med.

Medvedev is a good player and might in fact win the USO. It won't be good for tennis, though, and he will never replace Fedal in the public eye, for the same reason as Djokovic: he has the personality and sex appeal of a fencepost.

Ehhhh so you think Fedal got more sex appeal than Novak?

 

[Lefty5]

Grigor has a chance if MedWed is hurting a bit. However I don't think I would want to see Grigor/Nads in a final. A little too lopsided for me to even tune in. Love seeing new players in the quarters and semi's though!!!

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Just want to say, Grigor please lose the headband.

Did you watch the 4th and 5 sets of the match?

GriGOAT in 3.

Do you really want Dimitrov in the final? Come on, he doesn't deserve it.

as opposed to who?

Honestly I don’t care much who is in the final from this side. Already a win win situation. But if Dimitrov wins it will be pure memz. And Medvedev is a bit overhyped. His form was far from great at this tournament. Got lucky that Wawrinka had an off day.

It's honestly going to be a joke if Dimitrov wins this slam. He was irrelevant all year and got extremely lucky with the draw here.

He’s balding a little bit

Yeah, Medvedev is clearly not playing his best in US open, he was destroying his opponents in canada and cincinnati(except nadal and djoko), while he lost a set in each of his last 4 matches to opponents he should have been destroying.(Koepfer and dellien took a set off him, that is bad.)

 

[iceman_dl6]

Medvedev in 3 easy sets!!

Nah my friend.
Med is a smart guy.
If the crowd treats him like s_it, he'll respond in kind.
If the crowd treats him with respect, he'll respond in kind.
And become very personable and sexy.

The only thing good for tennis right now is ABN! (anyone but Nadal).

You said he'd never replace Fedal in the public eye.
Who ever said he would? Anyone on this site?

Can you tell me any current player who could replace Fedal in the public eye?
