Men's field looks a bit stronger than the women's...doesn't look like the big players are taking this one very seriously .. only Medvedev is a class player here...

[ashkor87]

Looking forward to the return of Jen Brady...is Kyrgios really playing?!

[ponchi101]

Wow, your standards are a bit high. Fritz and Tiafoe are there. It is a very good field for a 500.

This looks pretty typical for a Washington field, and considering that the following two weeks are Masters events, and Wimbledon just ended 2 weeks ago I'd say the field is pretty good.

....AND, btw, this tournament isn't exactly Jen Brady's "return". She just played a rinky-dink tournament- and lost in her second match. https://www.google.com/search?q=jen+bra ... nt=gws-wiz

Jen is listed for playing the US Open.

I have personally watched Boris Becker play this tournament ..since then it should be getting better! Maybe I am just being a bit sentimental about what was my 'home' torurnament for a while.. but a 500 is a pretty big deal.. Tiafoe and Fritz arent big enough.. I would want at least Rune, Ruud, Sinner..

[ashkor87]

on the women's side, this is the kind of trournament Pegula should win if she is as good as folks here (except me, of course) think.. there are no Tier 1 players.. Bencic is the only one I would rate higher than Pegula and even she is not Tier 1.
If the court is slow, which is what I expect, look for Keys and Samsonova to do well, possibly even win the whole thing.

[ponchi101]

Can we agree that you truly don't like her? I can't recall any Pegula fans here; we simply say that she is a solid player, and that she has reached a very high ranking. Will she win here? I doubt it; it is a very even field. Can she make the semis? Very possible.
From my side: the few times I have seen her play, Jessica is a fine player, but nothing about that game impresses me. SO, having reached #3 in the rankings, I say she has overachieved. And she may win a few more tournaments in her career. This might be one.

....WELL, to be fair- there's also the unwarranted and random love for the likes of Alexandrova, Samsonova, and now, apparently, Madison Keys. Then, there's future Wimbledon Champions Leylah Fernandez and Alycia Parks.

However, may I suggest- why stress over all of this? Just sit back, relax, and enjoy the "predictions" from our Very Own TAT Kreskin. My Troll Heart forever fills with joy.

In the same vein. Forget Lauren Davis, it's Pigossi for the US Open Win!!

I'm a Pegula fan. I think she has a nice all-court game, a lot of power, nice touch at net, a lot of composure, but hasn't been able to close some big matches. Hopefully she will close a few more before she hangs it up. I think she will keep putting herself in position for a while.

And Hurcakz and Murray. Looks like a strong field to me.
