The main event is going to be hard pressed to live up to this match, it's been a dandy thus far.

All I'm saying is if Nishikori and Cilic can defeat prime Djokovic and Federer in the semis of the US Open then Felix can beat Sinner.

Novak made all four major semi-finals in 2025 and then proceeded to not win a single set in each of those semi-final matches.

Chris Fowler just put Sinner in the Sunday final - He's probably right mind you.

Novak is obviously an icon of the game so he can retire when he wants. But he's basically sticking around at this point hoping everything breaks right at one more major. Beating Alcaraz AND Sinner both to win a major is going to be virtually impossible. Beating even one is gonna be a tall order.

How about besting Zverev, Rublev, De Minaur, Sinner, and Alcaraz to win a major? It's not going to happen mind you, but that's quite the gauntlet.

The winner is either going to be Sinner, Alacaraz, or FAA. That means FAA has a 1/3 chance of winning it all... right? right?

i don't think many gave Milos much of a chance to beat Fed in the 2016 Wimbledon semi-final. Now, Fed did pick up an injury during the match, but that's the thing, you never know what might happen when you take the field/ice/court.

Avoided the possible triple bagel, can't ask for much more.

Well this is going more or less as expected so far... fairytales aren't real folks.

Should just yell out after he loses a point "How do I beat this roider!" just to see if you can rattle him.

lol - Pretty good yell from Felix just now. If he can get this 2nd set to a tie-break, you never know.

You could have had Felix at +2500 at start of second set.

Now +450.
