Now that is a bold prediction. It will be interesting
to see how Rafa Jodar does in New York. He is
certainly a very promising young talent!

Carlos won't be 100% but may still crawl his way into the final, similar
to the way he beat Zverev at AO. Jodar will play like he has nothing to
lose, too young to really feel the pressure of the occasion. It'll all
catch up with Carlos in the end.

lol I just saw Gill Gross made the same prediction I did, Jodar to beat Carlos, and he's copping a lot of flack. We'll see : )

Not 'somehow' won it, kicked ass: 4-6, 7-6(3), 6-1, 6-4. May the
one-handed backhand live on!

Now that Badosa is gone, chances for that are slim.

Yes very happy Tsi won. Didn't give him much chance. This tells us a
lot about Fils too, prob never win a slam. His record is very poor in
slams.
