[ashkor87]

nothing jumps out as a potential big upset...

[ponchi101]

Nakashima over Shapo? Denis has not done anything as of late.
But sure, that is not a big upset.

[ponchi101]

ABOUT THE POLL
Because many have said that Alcaraz is a lock to win this one, you can also choose players that may be the upset. You get 6 votes, and you can spread them, with a maximum of three votes to a single player. For example.
Alcaraz 3
Medvedev 2
Novak 1

That way you spread your votes. Or you can have only two players, each one with 3 votes.
Hope it is clear.

Surprise second weekend..Rusuuvuori

[ti-amie]

I think Carlitos has a tough draw.

I take it back. Still thinking about my choices...

[ponchi101]

Rusuuvuori in the second weekend. For that he needs to go through Grigor (doable) and Sinner (possible). Sure, why not?

[ashkor87]

Projected semifinal:
Alcaraz vs Djokovic
Rune vs Coric

[skatingfan]

Projected semifinal:
Alcaraz vs Djokovic
Rune vs Coric

I can get on board with those selections.

[New England Nitemare]

Projected semifinal:
Alcaraz vs Djokovic
Rune vs Coric

Hmmmmm.......that's a solid semi. It's possible that Coric could get there, there are opportunities. That section is wide open. Coric has only made 1 QF in 27 GS appearances, however.

[Suliso]

I would still bet on Medeved or Zverev in that section albeit not with any great confidence.

Alcaraz vs Djokovic
Rune vs Coric

Hmmmmm.......that's a solid semi. It's possible that Coric could get there, there are opportunities. That section is wide open. Coric has only made 1 QF in 27 GS appearances, however.

yes, I was actually trying to see who might get lucky with the draw...these majors often have at least one surprise semifinalist.. usually a lucky draw beneficiary..

[ashkor87]

I would still bet on Medeved or Zverev in that section albeit not with any great confidence.

i would be happy if either of them made it but somehow, I dont have a good feeling about it..

[ponchi101]

Zverev has not fully recovered, and I don't mean physically. His BH is simply doing no damage. I don't see him going far.
Medvedev must be the one guy really, really wanting for this to start. I decided to gamble a bit and say he takes the cake.

[ashkor87]

Yes, saw that!!
