I don't gamble, but it only seems to pay off if Murray were to win! This should be between the 2 top seeds; the ones who've won the real big titles of the season! :nono :angel: :dodgy:

Tiafoe got a wild card into USO by winning the special 18 and under event (whose winner gets this WC).

Except that it may be technically illegal, although they don't come after you for these things generally speaking.

The top 6 Seeds for USO are now set.

1. Novak
2. Fed
3. Andy
4. Kei
5. Stan
6. Bird

If Ferrer is fit to play: 7. Ferrer and 8. Rafa

If Ferrer withdraws (in time): 7. Rafa 8. Cilic

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Hope Fed draws Kei in his half. This is not because I am afraid of Andy beating up Fed. We all know that Fed can handle Andy easily. This is because, if Andy and Novak play the other semifinal that is likely to go to five sets and five hours (no matter who wins). So, the winner will be softened up and make it easy for Fed to beat the winner.

A minor useful thing is that Kei's fitness in five set matches would be more questionable than Rogers perhaps with his glass body.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Going forward, a question would be, how will it effect Nole to lose two finals in a row? The Roger loss will not effect him at all, I don't think. He knows at Cincy, Roger is hard to beat.

As far as the loss against Murray in Canada, I think it will effect Murray more positively than effect Nole negatively. Andy needed a win against Nole, he got it. Now if he meets him at the Open in the semis, he will be prepared and more confident.

This week leading to the Open is crucial for both Nole and Andy to get some serious rest time. They both looked tired pretty much since the second round of Cincy. Roger looked like a spring chicken! As much as I hated it, skipping Canada was a great decision for Roger. He will be ready for the Open. And if he gets by his first 3 rounds without drama, this year might be the one where he has the best chance going into the open.

I actually think Stan + Kei + Novak in other half, and then Federer + Andy is ideal. Then Stan vs. Novak semi. Well, I take that back. Stan + Andy + Novak in one half, with Kei + Roger in the other would be even better for Roger's chances.
