I see this thread has 21 views and 0 replies. Maybe everyone, like me, was hoping to see how someone else picked first? This seems a hard one. Easy to imagine several possible scenarios. FAA with more experience at the higher altitudes, but also with more pressure? FAA in 4 or Alcaraz in 5? Hmmm.

Exactly. It’s a hard one to predict, because Alcaraz has become such an X-factor. A predictable unpredictable, perhaps. FAA is playing better than I’ve seen in a while. He seems determined to excel in front of Toni Nadal. But Alcaraz has shown an incredible level. I defy anyone to show me their draw which had him getting to the R16. I’m going with Alcaraz in 4.

Alcarez in 4.

I pick FAA in four sets to reach his 1st ever Slam SF.

Alcaraz's chance to show his earlier victories were no fluke. I doubt FAA can get the monkey off his back and advance.

I will go with whomever Toni Nadal choices. Seriously, I can't call this one either way..I wished it was a final. It really depends how FAA protect his service game As much as I like FAA, I can't watch the match by rooting against Baby Rafa Carlos Alvarez. It's something about Carlos that is so likable. I'm truly conflicted about this match.

FAA in 4 sets. I feel this is his time to show what he is made of and that this time he will deliver. Haven't watched Alcaraz so far, but understand he is surely capable of wining this match too.

 

[tented]

Any last minute predictions or thoughts on this one? I still think it’s a hard one to call. Could go either way.

 

[tented]

As he did with Tsitsipas, Alcaraz begins by hitting hard.

 

[shawnbm]

The Spaniard in four sets

Last night I voted Felix in 4. I'll stick w/ that, but I can see the kid giving him a run for his

Any live stream??

 

[tented]

Ack! Alcaraz retires.

Well, congrats to FAA for making the US Open SF.

 

[kskate2]

It's over. The kid just retired down 3-6 1-3

Bad luck Carlos....you are a breath of fresh air in the mens tournament

Congrats to FAA into the s/final

 

[Jelenafan]

Well, that was anticlimactic.

 

[Moxie]

What just happened?? I was just ready to settle into this match.

I never knew Uncle Toni speaks French... apparently FFA and Toni speak French to one another

 

[Moxie]

Interesting point, Toni and Felix communicate in French. Toni's French is much better than his English.
