Upset Corner - AO 2017 Edition

[Busted]

Murray is now out of the tourney. Roger's up next against Nishikori. If he plays like he played against Berdych - he wins in 3 or 4. If he plays like he played the first 2 rounds - he's going home in 3. Stan is undoubtedly hoping Roger doesn't play well and goes home...mainly because he's afraid of Mirka caca talking him again.

What are the possibilities or the odds for a Fedal ...

Can Roger beat nishi and stan? Can Rafa defeat Milos and dimitrov?

A lot of things have to happen. While I realize a few things have already happened this fortnight, a few more big things have to happen (like someone needs to take out Stan and Milos) for Fedal to get to the final.

I gave Nishikori a chance but now Federer is gonna smell blood in the water

First time since 2004 French open, top 2 seeds are out before quarters.

 

[rafanoy1992]

In terms of who are the favorites now, here's my list: 1. Wawrinka 2. Raonic 3a./3b. Fed/Nadal 4. Dimitrov

Wawrinka is playing "in the zone" right now and we have seen this before especially in just last year's US Open.

Raonic is playing well but his potential QF match with Nadal will determine on whether or not he will win the title. But he's gonna be ecstatic that both Djokovic and Murray are now out.

Federer is happy too because Murray is out now, however he still has to face Nishikori and potentially Wawrinka and those are tricky matches especially against Wawrinka.

Finally for Nadal, his match against Monfils could be tricky just because Monfils is playing well right now and Nadal could have a very bad day. But just like I said, his potential clash with Raonic will determine whether or not he will reach the final.

I could definitely see Dimitrov reach the semifinals but I just dont see him beating either Raonic or Nadal.

Haha, no problem AP. Mischa's been playing really well for half a year now and really looks like a top 20 player. Who knows how this will last, but it could be interesting.

Fedal is a real possibility, but both have some tough opponents ahead. Roger has Kei and then Mischa. Kei will be tough but is beatable and I think Roger will straight-set Mischa. But then he probably has Stan, who has had the edge over him in recent years, or maybe Tsonga.

Rafa has Gael Monfils, who he should be able to rattle and beat, and then probably Milos, who will be very, very tough. If he gets by Milos, he's got Thiem, Goffin, Istomin, or Grigor - all playing well.

So I think that Fedal is possible, but far from a sure thing.

 

[rafanoy1992]

A Fedal final is a possibility but it REALLY depends on two potential matches: Federer vs. Wawrinka and Nadal vs. Raonic

Those two matches will primarily determine on whether or not we get the Fedal final.

Also like Dude said, Nishikori and Monfils are playing well so they could beat Federer and Nadal, respectively.

I just woke up to see Fed's match with the aid of an alarm. Heard the unbelievable news. I slept in the early stages of the second set. I was not particularly alarmed even though Mischa won the first set. I thought it will finish in 4.

Tottally surprised. uzzled

More than the upset, the style of play, serve & volley, chip and charge, slice and dice was even more impressive. Coming into the net some 118 times!

 

[Busted]

Roger double bageled Mischa in 2013.

I'm trying not to get ahead of myself. He's got to get past Nishikori first.

Maybe if Murray stopped letting the game come to him and took the offensive occasionally he wouldn't be packing to return to the UK. Unlike Djokovic - Murray's a good volleyer and net player. He's just too passive by nature to be that aggressive.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

OK. I am ready for Mischa vs. Dennis final. :clap

I mean it. I will get up in the middle of the night to watch that final, if it happens.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Weird stat in this match.

Andy had a differential of +33 (71 - 28). But, Zverev had only + 26 (52 - 26), yet managed to win.

 

[kskate2]

Not weird. It's the big points. Micha played them better

 

[Mile]

2017 will be A mess. One pointed Murray will be the main, i think Murray can loose No.1 till end of the year.

Will be Golden rush.

 

[Busted]

Roger ekes it out in 5 sets. Who's 35?

El Dude, tell me is Mischa Zverev for real..should Federer be concerned or will this be another glorified practice session for Roger
