Will Zverev lose his top 4 seed at the U.S. Open?

[buscemi]

With his loss today, Zverev is 4th in the rankings with 4,845 points.

-Anderson is at 4,535 points. He needs to make the SF to get to 4,885 points and pass Zverev. That would mean beating Chardy (he's up a set), beating Goffin/Paire in R16, and beating Kyrgios/Coric/Chung/del Potro in the QF.

-Cilic is at 4,175 points after his R16 win today. He needs to win Cincinnati to get to 5,085 points and pass Zverev.

-Dmitrov (won Cincinnati last year) and Djokovic can't pass Zverev, even by winning the title.​

He may not even reach the quarters, so it doesn't mean anything.

 

[buscemi]

He may not even reach the quarters, so it doesn't mean anything.

In that case, it would be a benefit to the top 4 seed who drew Zverev in their quarter.

 

[buscemi]

Anderson wins his match, so he's now 2 wins away from a top 4 seed at the U.S. Open (assuming Cilic doesn't take the title).

Was about to say that. Like does it matter because he might not even reaching R4 lol.

 

[flor]

he was the 2 seed in roland garros and the 4 in wimbledon ,did that helped him? no,he got easy opponents and still crashed ,i dont know why but i actually thing losing some ranking positions will be good for him ,people wont expect much from him ,less pressure is what he need imo,i think he will peak in the us open ,is no going to win it but at least will reach the qf without struggling

His peak is reaching the QF of a major without hassle?

His peak is reaching the QF of a major without hassle? Lmao.

he is only 21 ,he wont have federer or nadal career ,stop expecting that ,reaching a qf without struggling is a good start for now .he have the talent to win the whole thing,but he need confidence ,he have a lot time ,he is very young .

 

[stringertom]

He may not even reach the quarters, so it doesn't mean anything.

It means something as early as 3R because he'll be slotted to play #25-28 instead of #29-32. Then in 4R he'll get the higher group again.

He is a pretty boy who will never have the heart like other champs

He is a pretty boy who will never have the heart like other champs

He’s not pretty in looks or personality. The part about lacking heart is true, however.

 

[buscemi]

Anderson loses to Goffin, so Zverev retains his #4 seed unless Cilic takes the title.

 

[buscemi]

Cilic wins and is now 3 wins away from the #4 seed at the U.S. Open.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Z & Cilic will fight for top 8 seed
Joffrey & Djokovic will fight for top 8 seed

 

[buscemi]

Cilic now 2 wins away from the #4 seed after the win over PCB.

 

[buscemi]

Z & Cilic will fight for top 8 seed
Joffrey & Djokovic will fight for top 8 seed

Djokovic has now clinched a top 8 seed by passing Dimitrov in points to get to #7. Goffin could still pass him, but that would just drop Djokovic down to #8.

 

[buscemi]

With Cilic's loss, Zverev locks in the #4 seed.

In the live rankings Sasha comes in at #3.

 

[Dan Z]

How does Alexander become "Sasha"?

 

[I Am Finnish]

How the hell does Alexander become "Sasha"?

Nickname

 

[Kalin]

How the hell does Alexander become "Sasha"?

It's the accepted diminutive form of Alexander in Russian. Alexander is Sasha and Maria is Masha Not to mention, Natalia is Natasha

 

[stringertom]

In the live rankings Sasha comes in at #3.

He's 655 points behind #3 JMDP.

How does Alexander become "Sasha"?

It’s a Russian thing.

 

[loni]

He's 655 points behind #3 JMDP.

in the live race he have 500 points more than delpo and is #4 behind,nadal ,federer and novak

 

[stringertom]

The quote I corrected said "live ranking," not "live race." They are obviously two different standings.

Masha is a mix up of MAria and SHArapova not a diminutive of María

 

[Kalin]

Masha is a mix up of MAria and SHArapova not a diminutive of María

Actually; it is both Masha is a very common diminutive of Maria and applies to all Marias, not just Sharapova.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masha
"In Russian, Masha (Маша) is a diminutive of Maria. It has been used as a nickname or as a pet name for women named Maria or Marie."

I stand corrected. I was not aware of that.

 

[Kalin]

Eh, no worries. I am Eastern European and we have lots of those but the Russians take it to ridiculous extremes. They have diminutive forms for even the shortest names... and then they often have a diminutive form for the diminutive form.

Maria - Masha - Mashenka

Have not checked it out--He did hire Murray's old Coach Ivan Lendl

"Alexander Zverev has brought eight-time Grand Slam champion Ivan Lendl on board to help him take his game to the next level. The No. 4 player in the ATP Rankings made the announcement on his Instagram account.

“Welcome to the team Ivan Lendl”, Zverev wrote. He also shared photos of his entire team, including Lendl, and of Lendl watching him practise at the US Open, which starts Monday.

The 21-year-old German is also coached by his father, Alexander Zverev Sr. Alexander Zverev split with former World No. 1 Juan Carlos Ferrero in February after eight months with the Spaniard.

The 58-year-old Lendl brings a wealth of playing and coaching experience. The American spent 270 weeks at No. 1 in the ATP Rankings, third all-time behind Roger Federer and Pete Sampras. He works for USTA Player Development and helped Andy Murray ascend to No. 1 for the first time, win three Grand Slam titles and a pair of Olympic golds.

Zverev has won three ATP World Tour Masters 1000 titles and reached a career-high No. 3 in the ATP Rankings. But the 6'6” German has made only one Grand Slam quarter-final (2018 Roland Garros, l. to Thiem)."

His peak is reaching the QF of a major without hassle?

For right now, when the last 7 Slams have been won by Fedalovic...yes.
