Djokovic is in Sinner's half, again.. has to get past Michelsen, then DeMinaur to get there, which is not easy..

For Djokovic - Michelsen might be interesting, but Djokovic owns de Minaur.

Djokovic eats players like Michelsen alive.
He will make his seeding.

I started our usual poll.
Because Carlos is such a favorite, I have opted up to 4 votes as a maximum per pick.

I expect so, but this Djokovic is not last year's Djokovic..

Semifinal lineup expected would be Sinner versus Djokovic, Alcaraz versus Zverev then?

nearly everyone here (including me) rates Alcaraz' chances better than Sinner's.. though Sinner is #1 in the world and Alcaraz is not.

I'm sure most of us will rate Sinner higher than Alcaraz at USO.

I don't see Zverev making a semifinal in a quarter with both Fritz, and Medvedev - Zverev has not made it past the 4th round at Wimbledon.

Ask me after Cincy...

The bottom half seems Alcaraz's for the taking. But the top half...Does Djokovic get past Draper? And does Sinner get past either of them? I really couldn't guess who is coming out of there.
