2020 US Open Men's Semifinals: Pablo Carreño Busta vs. Alexander Zverev

[rafanoy1992]

This will be their 2nd meeting and in their only meeting Zverev won 7-6 (4), 6-2 over Carreño Busta at the 2018 Miami Open semifinal.

Coincidentally, both Zverev and Carreño Busta are in their 2nd ever slam semifinal.

Just like the Carreño Busta/Shapovalov QF match, this is somewhat a close call. I am slightly leaning towards Zverev over Carreño Busta just because Zverev can overpower PCB with his serve and Zverev will not over hit a lot balls against PCB unlike Shapovalov. However, I would not be totally surprise if PCB wins the match in 4 or 5 sets.

Zverev in 3

Strongly hoping and rooting for Pablo. In 4.

I can actually see PCB beating Zverev sadly. Not because he's a better player, but he's just so stable. He'll let Sascha find a way to lose it. If Zverev wins it, it's because he just blows PCB out. I'm just not sure he has the stones to do it yet.

I think we are heading towards another Medvedev vs Spain final at the USO...

Seems right. I voted for PCB in 4.

I voted for Busta in 5 sets,though I hope he can do it in 4 sets.He has a solid record on HC

I will have to mute....Cliffe is now giving us a lesson of Germany and Sasha....a family dream
Pity cause Darren Cahill is also commentating.

 

[Nadalfan2013]

It’s obvious that PCB’s plan is to move Zverev around because so far he’s been hitting left right left right left right... We’ll see if it’s going to work...
