US Open [Men], 2022 - Grand Slam

Well I hope Seb is over his injury which forced him out of Wimbledon this year, he has a lot of talent ,like his dad who won the AO .

I do think it is a real long shot. Along the way, I predicted Kyrgios to defeat Medvedev so that helps out Korda. The big upset for Korda is getting a win over Tsitsipas which is going to be tough. I do think Kyrgios can beat Medvedev if he keeps his head on straight.

Well we will have to wait and see

Very tough choices this USO draw challenge. I mean it's easy for Rafa fans, you just pick him as a winner and all the rest falls in place more or less.

It is very tough. I opened it up and picked some upsets along the way. Not really going with the typical final. I have Korda over Sinner in the final.

That's a bold choice. I have Sinner in the final too, after I erased Alcaraz from reaching the final.

Yeah it is. Korda is my favorite player so I am going with it. I have other upsets along the way to kind of make Korda's run a little easier, but he still has to beat some really good players. I have Kyrgios beating Medvedev which I really think could happen.

On the ladies side I did the same thing. I picked Amanda Anisimova to beat Coco Gauff in the final and yep Amanda is my favorite player. I also think as she has Iga in her path that Iga will lose to Alexandrova the match before she would have to play Amanda.. Amanda would still have to defeat really good players along the way, but I have her avoiding Iga. I really do thing Alexandrova can beat Iga.

Carlito needs to be in top form and confidence to defeat Jannick. The Italian has proven he has no issues besting the teen on any surface.

very tough draw challenge without Novak's presence. My reign may be OVER @Moxie may defeat me easily this time.. jajaja

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

You guys have more confidence in Sinner at the USO than I have, he would have to be playing better than his woeful performance at Cinncy where he mentally collapsed against FAA and should have beaten him in straight sets, usually he is soo composed on court,
not to be at all.

If some of these upsets happen I could be in for a good draw. If they don't it could be a disaster.

Matches have begun! Let me turn on ESPN … wait … nope, they’re showing a chat show. Let me try ESPN2 … nope, another chat show. Well, they were showing the qualification matches on ESPNews the other day, let me try that … no, still no US Open. They must have allowed the Tennis Channel to show them since they aren’t … nope, they’re showing the 2009 women’s Wimbledon final.

He did have a stinker in that match in Cincy. I just see him winning against players like FAA more than losing against players like him.

What???? Isn't ESPN & ESPN2 supposed to be covering the whole tournament or is it just ESPN Plus? I have ESPN Plus and all the matches are on there.That isn't right though. I thought ESPN & ESPN2 were carrying the main matches and ESPN Plus would have everything else.

According to my cable guide, ESPN doesn’t begin broadcasting matches until noon (Local time).

You’re lucky! ESPN could be showing multiple matches, however they’ve elected not only to ignore them, but also not to allow anyone else to do it either.

What do they have to get in the 5th rebroadcast of the morning SportsCenter before they start into the tennis coverage? That doesn't make sense.

That is not Acceptable at all...
