About 60% chance of SF's being Djokovic vs Sinner and Alcaraz vs Tsitsipas.

Why Tsitsipas? He goes against Medvedev next. H2H is 8-4 Daniil, and it is not as if Stefanos is more at ease on grass.

Tsitsipas has won four of the last seven against Medvedev, and I do think his game is more suited for grass than Medvedev's. Toss-up match.

Toss up match, ok. I can go for that.
They have never played on grass, so that is an unknown. But I say that will be a very even match. I went with Tsitsipas today because I am counting on Daniil for the QF's, but that is my wishful thiking.

Somewhere in the SP topics, somebody mentioned that 6 months ago it was impossible to believe that Eubanks would be a bandwagon in the SP. And then added, correctly, that we would also pick him early.
His BH passing shot to break Stefanos again was a sublime one hander; the stuff of dreams for us that hit that shot.

Sabalenka showing no signs of being "psychologically damaged" from RG. I think Iga will have a tough time holding her off for #1.

I know we are all for equality in this forum, but this is the MEN'S topic ;)

If I were betting I would've placed a very small wager on Eubanks today only because of those first three days where Stefanos played back to back to back long matches. He was bound to hit the proverbial wall at some point. I was surprised that no one talked about how that would affect his play.

Anyway Carlitos just took out Berrettini and will face Rune next.

Rune's entire entourage stood up applauding before he closed out the match led by his mother. I thought it was bush league and Grigor did too. He just didn't have enough left to push back hard but he did delay the inevitable by a game.
