Berrettini can take down Tsitsipipas, esp. with his back. And I could see Raonic giving De Minaur issues on this surface if he is serving well.

Berrettini is out to injury.

Once Deminaur returns Milos serve, the odds for the point switch to 60-40 Alex. He is too fast and too consistent for today's Milos.
8 years ago, I would agree.

And he couldn't have forseen this in time to give a LL a spot? Geezus. Surely he knew he wasn't fit enough to make a serious run. So why stay in the draw this late?

Cash the money. Sole explanation.
Or he is truly an A-hole because the rules allow you to withdraw and still cash some, right?

I'm not sure what you're taking about Megan. It shows a LL in his spot against Tsitsipas. Z. Bergs, Belgium, has the spot.

Yeah, I thought R1 withdrawals get the full prize money because they basically earned it with their ranking. Maybe I'm wrong.

Oh, good, then he did withdraw in time! I thought he hadn't.

Unlike the women's draw (carnage), the men's draw has gone remarkably to form. Seven of the top eight seed have made it to the round of 16, and the only one missing (the eighth seed) is replaced by the nine seed.

Only the top 8 though. None of us could make it there in the SP

ATP draw has been incredibly pecking order based. Only #7 and #8 didn't make QF's, replaced with #9 and #12.

I give it 90% chance of top 4 making SF's and 50% of that happening + #1 beating #2 in the final...

First time in the Open Era it seems, that the top 6 have made it to the QFs
