Some interesting quarters! Too bad that I can’t watch any matches because it’s my sleep time :facepalm:

Medvedev just smashed a racket like a freaking lunatic, it was truly violent and disgusting.

I was disappointed for a different reason. I was disappointed that he didn't do something similar while playing Nadal in the US Open final to show more fight.

I’m now glad more than ever that Nadal won the US open final because he’s a true professional and a class act. :good: I don’t think I will ever be able to root for Medvedev. :negative:


Well to each his own, but Federer is even more of a class act than Nadal because Federer is even more sooper-dooper athsome than Nadal is, and you can't change it!

Looks like Berretini is rising yet again.....hopefully he beats Thiem and keeps the momentum going.

He showed a lot of fight. I don't think racquet smashing would have helped him.

I do. It would have showed an expectation to win, especially in the first set when Nadal won despite losing an early break and serving at only 37%.


My misspelling was intentional because I was mocking a q lisp voice.

Because that is the tone I imagine matching with NadalFan2013's mindset.
You put a lot of stock in your imagination. It's rather "creative," but doesn't often relate to reality.

All really fascinating QFs. I'd dare anyone to pick all 4.

1. Fog
2. Tits
3. Fed
4. Matteo
Turns out I'm the only one in the draw challenge who picked all of the QFs right. Here's who I picked to win these matches:

1.Medvedev
2. Djokovic
3. Fed
4. Berrettini

I wouldn't be sad if I were wrong about the first 3, though.

Cali let's say it's the year 2008.. you are on.trial and your sanity was at stake because the judge said you could be sentencing to life locked in a room with Broken. The judge said that he would give you one player to play for your freedom. Who would it be..Rafa, Roger or Novak

The Greek is pressing Djokovic, without so much to show for it.
