4 years ago today Djokovic won Cincy and he became the first player to win all 9 Masters titles, all 4 Slams, and the World Tour finals which is absolutely insane. But there is still one thing missing from his resume (besides being vaccinated against Covid 19) and that's Olympic Gold.

He had one job to do and that was to stop Zverev and he failed to deliver

topspin graph from reddit:



https://www.reddit.com/r/tennis/comm...021_one_of_my/

things that stick out

- Small Cat is the flattest on both wings yet is known for being able to sustain long rallies

- Felix is very spinny yet I feel most of his errors come from long balls

- JAAAA is spinnier than everyone else, including Rafa somehow

Meddy's coach wearing a Habs hat in the stands today. Likely a fan of boring Sean Monahan lol

Fritz should have already won this first set over Medvedev and still has a chance, but we're likely headed to a first set tie-break with Meddy serving at 5-6

Edit: Fritz had 6 break points in this opening set, but didn't cash in on any of them. To the tie-break we go.

Edit 2: Taylor plays a horrible tie-break losing it 7-1. Smash-and-grab job by Meddy.

Medvedev through to the semi-finals 7-6 6-3. Will take on the winner of Isner vs. Greek Yogurt.

Well, if you would have told me the first one to break in the Isner - Tsitsipas match would be big John, I would have said you're crazy. Going the distance after Greek Yogurt took the opening set.

peeping the WTA results this week and it appears that women's tennis has reached its maximum state of entropy. here are the current odds for the top 20 going into USO

Iga Swiatek +250
Simona Halep +700
Naomi Osaka +900
Elena Rybakina +1200
Cori Gauff +1600
Ons Jabeur +1600
Aryna Sabalenka +1600
Bianca Andreescu +1600
Paula Badosa+2000
Maria Sakkari +2000
Karolina Pliskova +2000
Belinda Bencic +2200
Emma Raducanu +2500
Jessica Pegula +2500
Leylah Fernandez +2500
Beatriz Haddad Maia +2500
Amanda Anisimova +2500
Anett Kontaveit +3300
Serena Williams +3300
Daria Kasatkina +3300

I honestly believe it would be ten times more accurate just to put every single one of them at exactly 1/25 odds, with the remaining 20% going to the rest of the field.

I'm surprised Emma is so low, the UK bettors must be slow on placing their wagers.

Greek Yogurt wins set 3 6-3 and will play Meddy in one of the semi-finals on Saturday.

Edit: Obligatory and NSFW (labguage)

Coric up an early break against Felix.

Edit: This looks like first set Felix against Sinner last night.

Edit 2: Big hold from love-40 down by Felix. Still down a break though.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall Coric having this much pop on his serve.

Felix got steamrolled by Coric’s serve.

Another missed opportunity for Felix - I was hoping to see him take on Charlie on Saturday.

Of course, Cam Norrie is saying not so fast as he wins the opening set over Carlitos.

If Norrie and Alcaraz meet at the US Open we might be in for a 6hr match

Norrie breaks and is serving for the match at 5-4 in set 3.
