If Med beats Tsitsi and Djoker in these upcoming matches (especially with the way these 2 have been playing lately), he deserves the #2 ranking.

I am ready for an incredible match. Medvedev is the favourite but hes choked in huge games where as Tsitsipas is the slight underdog and has excelled in big matches. This has all the makings of a classic. Cheers to those staying up for a quality match. I salute you.

Medvedev takes it in 3 rather easy sets. Stumbled a little in the third but was able to close it out. He's now won 20 straight matches and 11 in a row against top 10 players, including beating Djokovic at the ATP finals. Were in for a great final, I'm going to say Osaka wins in 2 and Medvedev wins in 5.

I tried to stay up for it, but I just couldn't make it. I'm staying up for the final though which should be a cracker.

Yes I'm quoting myself, taking Brady in the final 
Watch ESPN cheer for Osaka.

Looks like Bouzkova had nothing left in the tank after her match against Bianca and Kasatkina takes the Phillip Island Trophy final 4-6 6-2 6-2

You called it at the start of the tourney GS, nice one. I think Naomi is going to win this one in three sets though.

I realize we're not quite done with the Aussie Open, but check out the field for the Rotterdam tourney. It's a 500 looking more like a Masters 1000.

Medvedev is a slight favorite, it's basically a pick'em.

Djoker a slight favorite based on the betting sites I've seen...

Yep, money piled in on Djoker.
I caught up. Brady threw away the first set then it was smooth sailing for Osaka.

I think it's precautionary. She probably signed up for Adelaide the same time as the previous one as she didn't know how far she would get. But since she got pretty far, that's enough.

Yeah, it could be very likely the case.
