Same one I made, although I hope Paul pulls off the upset
I think everybody has picked Zverev today ..the other match is too risky
I toyed with taking Alcaraz, thinking this could be Zverev’s year, but I just can’t see Zverev beating him in the semis. Alcaraz just has that extra gear that Zverev doesn’t. He’ll win most of those matchups, especially if the court is playing at all quick. (And I think Alcaraz will beat Djokovic in 5.)
Will never cease to amaze me how knowledgeable people like us can still get it wrong.
By now, I just hope Ashkor will be right and Sinner will be the winner, now that Carlitos is gone.
If Sinner's own health issues go away, he is the favorite. I had him beating Djokovic in the final before the tournament started and see no reason to change now, although I'm certainly not discounting Djokovic's chances.

I haven’t heard it. How’s is he saying it?
so instead of saying backhand like sack he's saying something like Bach (the composer), so Bach-hand. at first I thought I misheard it or it was a one time thing. But I've heard him doing it every broadcast I swear. I know I'm not imagining it!
There are others who say it that way too .i remember Vic Braden, a really great coach, his pronunciation was like that too. May be a regional accent?

I guess maybe? But obviously I've heard Brad Gilbert before...for years now...sadly...and I don't remember that before.

So nice to see a pair of 15 year old girls (sisters?) win the junior doubles, one of them K.Penickova finished runner up in singles .at 15 that is impressive ..
