you really believe he can get past Nadal in the QF, then possibly Murray in the SFs?#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#now let's ignore the Zverev prediction for a the time being and assume he get's either Nole or Fed in the final.#ed_op#br#ed_cl#you're basically asking him to beat 3 of the Big 4 in one major...never happened before
#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#So three days later and Cilic won't face Nadal in the quarters :-) the Spaniard is out#ed_op#br#ed_cl#And Murray is not half the palyer he was a year ago.

almost 10
almost 8
and just turned 1

i'm a busy boy these days

my soon to be 10 year old is enrolled in the Rep program for soccer and is excelling. All she keeps saying is she wants to play for Canada at the Olympics. I asked "what about Serbia?" and she said "we'll see tata if I'm good enough and if they call.". I had to tell her Canada's team is much better and she just smiled and said "look at it this way, I'll still be wearing a red jersey"

When will I learn that when it comes to put up time, the French only know how to shut up

Tsonga in my opinion is the biggest underachiever in tennis this generation

As for Nadal, I can't even expect the cheating Spaniard to get things right in the R16..ugh. Well he's off my US skan team

and at this point I hope it is a Nole - Cilic final
- great must see TV (serb versus Croat). Lol the Croats will go nuts when Djokovic wins in 4

too bad about Zverev running out of gas.

As for the skan, all I really care about is one number...No 13. If that happens, I can finish 59th for all I care :-)

though I must say, I tip my hat to the guy leading. If he was smart enough to not pick a french man, he could very well have had all 6 players still active...brilliant, cause the Good looking one, was his 6th pick

also a Murray loss drops his rankings points significantly. a QF loss brings him down to approx. 8,000 points
Nadal will improve as well, but if Djokovic wins the tournament and Murray loses in the QFs, had Djokovic done enough to retake the number 1 ranking?

I did quick math in my heand I don't think so even if the QF loss and the win happen

Stan did nothing last year so his early loss should keep him 3rd unless Fed can find a way to win it all and jump up to number 2

well for the first time in a long time the rankings for the men is at least interesting and we could see major shuffling between now and the USO

Fed could very well end up being player of the year...wow

the dude that beat Nadal yesterday, I thought he was young 20-year old like Ostapenko.

how did you come up with that? ATP website has him at 9390. Even a finals loss to Nole drops him by 800 points and means he's at 8590

If Nole wins it all, he'll gain about 1900 points and will jump up to about 8,000 points

This the result I suspect will come to pass.

Murray will have 9390 if he defends his title. If he loses tomorrow, he ends with 7750

Novak : 6055 - 90 (r3 points 2016) = 5965 + 2000 (winning 2017) = 7965...
